My Students
This year is a little bit different than my 15 years teaching in the past. This 2021-2022 school year, I will be back in the building, after being away for the past year and a half. I am working on setting up my classroom to keep kids distanced and safe. I want my students to have the same experience learning as they would in front of me in a classroom without a pandemic. My remote classroom will consist of about 30 students, from a Title I, mixed-income, diverse neighborhood- learning from home, who have not had a normal school experience in over a year and a half.
Many of these students have parents who are first responders or essential workers, and distance learning and this pandemic was very hard for them academically and socially.
Some of them who have parents that must go to work will be cared for by grandparents or babysitters. Of these 32 students, many of their kindergarten experiences were cut short in March 2020, when NYC schools went remote. They come from diverse backgrounds. Many of my students are English Language Learners (ELL) and many of them have IEPs to meet their needs.
My Project
This year students will be in person, yet the way our classrooms are structured will be a lot different. In order to keep the children healthy, many of the community items, such as dry erase boards, will have to be used independently and stored in their desks. Instead of standard dry erase boards, I am asking for the dry erase dots to put right on their desks and markers to go with them. This way children can practice writing and spelling, as well as math, right at their own desk.
More than half of students from low‑income households
