My Students
My students are diverse. They come from many different backgrounds. This neighborhood has many new immigrants. Our students vary from regular education kids to mainstream kids as well as 12:1 kids.
Our school's motto is "Committed to Excellence." We strive to give our students the best resources we can.
Many of them need hands-on materials and manipulatives so that they can "see" what is happening. Most days we break up into small groups to do mini-lessons to review or strengthen concepts.
Our goal is to try our best to help the kids meet their goals!
My Project
Students are created with an inquiring mind. This is why they ask so many questions. It shows their curiosity about the world around them. However, they are not always given the opportunities to explore and learn! I'm hoping that my students can be engaged and grasp important science concepts using these materials and kits. Students learn best when they learn themselves through their own experiences. Through an after school family engagement event, parents and students will explore and learn together. This is an important and exciting chance for parents to "see" themselves why it is important to be involved in the learning processes of their own children.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
