My Students

Despite the low income homes many of my students come from, they still thrive in my classroom, and are always imaginative, loving, and bright. They bring joy to the classroom, and always use their creative mind. It gives me so much joy to see their big smiles every morning and to see how much the children love coming to school.

I love being the one teaching these kiddos.

I have many different academic levels and needs in my classroom. As their teacher, my goal is to provide my students with the materials they need to be successful.

My Project

By giving my students these different activities, they can play different things at home. My plan is to give these activities by summer. If we don't go back to school, I will drop them off at their houses!

A lot of my students don't have these things at their house, so this would keep them busy and learning during summer!

The cards and dice can be used for many different games. I will send home a list of games they can play! The chalk is a great way to get them outside of the house and to enjoy the weather. The word search book will be used since they all love puzzles!
