My Students

Hard working , adaptable, compassionate, diligent and reliable are just a few words used to describe my students. Hearing those adjectives, it is hard to imagine they attend a school where 96% of students are classified as low income. Given that fact, they don't let it hinder their education.

I teach at a neighborhood school where low-income does not equate to low-academics.

Because of their dedication to education, I want to be sure that as they grow, more adjectives can be added to the list to describe them. There is no limit to who or what they can be. Ultimately, when they are asked to describe themselves, the first word spoken should be Inspirational.

My Project

Having file folders and rolling organizers will help my students keep their work and materials organized and easily accessible while they are working in small groups.

I am lucky to be a teacher in a school with students who work hard.

Students care about their learning, and having alternative seating with the stools will be a welcome change from sitting at a desk all day.

On a given day, students will be able to use the stools while working with one another. They will not have to worry about leaving materials at home or losing something by using the expandable file folders to keep all work when done with a lesson.

After all work is done, I will be able to use the stamp set to leave feedback on their work.
