My Students
My scholars give me purpose and strength to always push through. I teach at a school that is considered low economic and disadvantage. Most of my scholars are limited to their neighborhood, meaning they usually don't have the opportunities to observe or see a positive environment. Most live below the poverty line and see a lot of crime activity on a daily basis. I want them to know there is whole world out there beyond their current circumstances.
The impact of COVID 19 pandemic has presented many challenges for my scholars, from a psychological as well as emotional stand point.
However, I am instilling in my scholars “what doesn’t break us only makes us stronger.” Some are without the day to day necessities, they so desperately need. Due to the financial strain their families are facing. So, I want my scholars to come to school feeling like this is their safe haven (no worries) and focusing on learning with a growth mindset. I want to inspire them to push through your circumstance and to NEVER GIVE UP. My scholars are the FUTURE that will change the world.
My Project
The magic magnetic fractions and base ten blocks will be used to assist scholars who are Kinesthetic Learners with the need of having to touch manipulatives to have a concrete understanding. The dry erase markers and erasers will aid me to check for understanding and address misconceptions quickly when using our dry erase boards and not having to use tissue. The fraction war games will assist my shy scholars, who normally wouldn't raise their hand to respond to questions, to have fun in math and have confidence to do so. The classroom 5 slot organizer will help me establish organization among multiple math classes, at the present time I have no storage for my other math/science scholars to keep their work or classroom folders. The colored code folders will assist me, as an instructor to stay organized with my color groups (red, blue, yellow, and green). When scholars are absent or having make-up work, this will be a easy and convenient way for scholars to take ownership of their assignments. Also, a high quality pencil sharpener will allow my scholars and I to sharpen multiple pencils before the pencil sharpener get too hot and quits, like our current one.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
