My Project

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students are clever, active and love learning!

They need to move and they love to read. Although our school is in a rural community, we have a diverse population of students. Many of our students are fairly new to our country and are just learning to speak English. Over half of our students receive free and reduced-price lunch. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. When students are making smart seating choices they’re actively learning and have less behavior problems.

Elementary children have a lot of wiggles that can get in the way of learning. They benefit by having control in their learning and releasing excess energy! Your support for this project is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping my students reach their academic goals and celebrate their successes.
