My students are incredible. They are diverse, unique, quirky, smart, hilarious, and caring. Each one of them brings brightness to my room in their own way and we work to thrive together as a little school family who love and support one another.
These kiddos work hard and play hard!
They are learning to be self-managing and independent learners. My goal is to foster a learning environment where every student can be exactly who they are in order to make the most academic, emotional, and social growth they can!
Logistically, my school is considered a high needs, high poverty school. We do not have a PTA and many of our families are working multiple jobs. They love their students tremendously and we are all working to make sure the kiddos have what they need to achieve.
My Project
This might seem like a silly request to some but snack is a really important part of our day in first grade. While I am always happy to spend my own money on snacks and supplies for my room; feeding a room full of hungry first graders everyday gets expensive.
Learning is hard work and even harder when you are hungry!!
Six and seven year old bodies need nourishment throughout the day to have energy and stamina to learn. Not only is snack important for our bodies, it is also an important time for us socially. Students are able to share about food, likes and dislikes, find common ground, chat casually with fellow students and myself, and just relax a little. It is a nice bonding time for us.
We have about 115 days of school left and would greatly appreciate your support!
