My Students

Our school is a Title I school with a population of amazing students and community members. We have a lot of school pride even though we may have limited funds. We are also a community school providing resources to parents and students in the surrounding area.

Fifty percent of our students participate in the free or reduced-price lunch program.

Many of our students are below grade level in reading and math. We have such sweet kids whose parents are doing their best and encouraging education. As a first grade team of teachers, we work hard and consistently show growth within our classes, differentiating learning for many styles.

My Project

We would like some grammar books, growth mindset books, and some STEM materials for our classroom to keep our kids growing and learning. We want to help them understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process. We stress and teach our students that learning is hard sometimes and when you don't understand something there are strategies and ways to help you get out of the learning pit to master a skill or concept.

We want to instill a growth mindset early in students' education to produce lifelong learners.

We would also like to use this set of grammar books. It goes nicely with our reading series and would help us teach the rules of grammar from another perspective through a storybook where they can see it in action.

Punch cards and STEM activities are also a great reward/ learning system for us that helps kids see their growth mindset working positively for them.
