My Students

As a teacher in a low income school, my students are faced with various challenges on a daily basis. Not only in the classroom but outside school as well. With some students being stressed by what happens away from school, I encourage an environment that makes learning fun.

Each child in my classroom enjoys learning and celebrating their accomplishments.

Even though they come from varied backgrounds they do support each other and learn from each other. They are provided with group work, individual work, partners in order to reach their needs. I so look forward to each year with new students ready to learn.

My Project

By providing a carpet for my students, they will be able to sit on the floor in a comfortable manner. Without the carpet, students would have to sit on an uncomfortable tile floor or not sit on the floor at all. Not sitting on the floor would keep those in the back of the room from seeing the board clearly, if needed to sit closer. The carpet will be used during lessons for those who wish to sit closer to the board. Will also be used for group meetings when we need to be closer together, rather than spread out across the room.
