I teach English to an amazing group of students from a variety of different backgrounds, and abilities. In this class, we are a family. We learn from each other, grow with each other, and strive to be better people every day. We use books to learn about our communities and tie them to things we can relate to through service projects. I guide them through learning by fostering a love of reading and teaching them a sense of belonging.
My Project
After being virtual for so long, my students are having a harder time than ever sitting still! Several ask to stand, so I thought a standing desk would be a great addition to our room, and we already have a few yoga mats they love to spread out around the room to sit on, so I would love to add more of those and some lap desks! I would love to have enough for them to take outside to use as a class to do work, or to stretch and move after sitting all day!
