My Students

I have the sweetest group of fourth graders to ever walk this planet! Okay, so that may not be completely true, but I sure love this great group.

Our school serves a lot of individual students with various struggles that require great courage on their part, in dealing with each and every day.

This includes Autism spectrum, ADHD, speech and developmental delays, high poverty, and those that have other personal and very real emotional struggles.

Each day, I make sure to have every student tell me at least one victory for the day or great thing that happened that day. I love seeing their faces light up as they realize that education can be exciting and enjoyable. Recently, I had a student leave class with a big grin on his face and say to me "Mrs. B, I LOVED science today. I never knew learning could be so much fun." That makes all the extra hours worth it, knowing that at least ONE student has found the thrill in learning and hope in knowing that education can be an amazing journey.

My Project

As with any other school, supplies are often in high demand and low supply. Having the majority of our students in a low-income bracket challenges us even more, as it becomes even more difficult to gather the desired and required supplies.

I truly believe that information more easily becomes long term knowledge when there is a personal connection to what is being learned.

By creating with their own hands, students are more easily able to transfer that process into understanding concepts.

I plan on incorporating these supplies into the subject areas I teach in order to help the students to fully invest in their own learning. Styrofoam balls are used to create people that go along with the Biography study we do in ELA. The clay, paper mache, mod podge and paint go into creating Solar Systems, Moon phases, plant models, and animal habitats for our science units. The colored pencils and markers along with paint brushes add the final touches onto our projects that help the students make their projects unique.
