My Students
Welcome to our classroom! We're a diverse bunch, but what's evident is that we are a community. We are a neighborhood school with about 80% of students walking to or being dropped off at school by a guardian. We are a high poverty school, but my students are motivated to learn and want be engaged in the classroom.
Being an inclusive school, our classroom is full of students with diverse abilities, integrating both general and special education in one room.
These first graders have differing skills, but one thing they have in common is a love for learning.
My first graders are energetic and enthusiastic! They love to sing and get up and move. Unfortunately, many of them are missing basic academic skills in the areas of literacy, math, and writing. This year we are focusing on closing the achievement gap and creating a classroom full of confident, successful students.
My Project
In a technology driven world, STEM knowledge is essential. This project focuses on the Science, Engineering and Mathematics skills of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Hands-on experiences in Science and Engineering with these materials will engage students and build essential content knowledge.
The magnet building tiles will be used during math center time. These will allow the students to engage in math through building 3-D shapes and naming 2-D shapes. They will be able to explore Science concepts like magnetism and gravity. Through building structures, students will learn basic engineering skills. The tiles will also help to encourage creativity, develop fine motor skills and develop problem solving skills.
The motorized Solar System will be used during Science to build students knowledge in Earth Science by seeing how the solar system is arranged and its movement.
The Sprout and Grow Window will be used during science to help build knowledge of plant parts and the plant life cycle.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
