My students need extra support. Students at this school are hard working learners. They may come from homes that are struggling. More than three-fourths of them are on free or reduced price lunch, but that doesn’t stop them from wanting an education. The students are multiracial, including 40% White, 31% Hispanic, 23% Black, 3% Asian, and 3% multi-race. This creates an environment of acceptance and tolerance for all. My challenge is to level the playing field so that students with less opportunities are able to compete academically with those who have more opportunities.
Creating learning experiences for these students is the best part of my job; the joy on their faces as they are discovering something new and integrating knowledge into their “personal toolkits” is priceless.
In my learning environment, I endeavor to set them up to win in an environment that is inviting and comfortable. Sometimes, that means school supplies, mending clothing, a band aid or a kind word. I believe this will not only help the students focus, but will also produce a higher level of work from the student. Teaching these young learners is a privilege.
My Project
Osmo Bases will help many students to build and develop skills in areas of word work, math, STEM. This will allow my students to reinforce math and reading skills that have been taught in the classroom in a fun and engaging way. This opportunity will provide extra assistance to learn math facts and reading skills to meet students' needs.
My school has some technology; therefore, we can blend learning models in our Media Center with Osmo Kits.
This would allow for an opportunity to individualize a rotation in the Media Center to meet the needs of all of the learners.
We will need more bases to support our Osmo kits that we have gotten for letters, words, numbers and more.
More than half 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
