My students are fun, energetic lovers of learning. My students continue working to increase their time on task and their stamina as learners. Their curiosity is avid, admirable, and inspiring.
They attend a suburban public school, grades 1 through 5, in Western Massachusetts.
All students receive free breakfast and lunch, and many come from families who are considered at poverty level. Opportunities for regular, consistent use of technology are currently limited.
Many of my students are second language learners. The students in my classroom are from many different countries; this diversity is embraced and honored. Others have been identified as learners with special academic, communication, social, and emotional needs. This diverse classroom is a community of learners. These dynamic students bring their skills and stories to my classroom each day. Students continue learning to embrace the ideas of accepting and appreciating others and to be actively involved in their education. Time is spent helping students discover their strengths and needs as learners, as well as developing their self-advocacy skills.
My Project
Our classroom needs some new supplies as we continue in person learning after a non traditional year of both remote and hybrid instruction. We started this year with depleted supplies as students were given items for both at home and in person. It will be comforting to come into a fresh, clean classroom after the winter break.
The supplies that I am requesting will help our room start the new year off on the right foot, prepared!
Each student will be provided with their own set of color coded folders for each content area. Purchasing plastic folders provide durability to last the entire school year, unlike the paper ones they have used and depleted thus far. Thank you for your support in getting our new year off on the right foot with new supplies.
