My Students
My students are so excited about this year and the fun activities that we have planned. We have a lot of fun, but we also understand that hard work is necessary to learn. In my current class, 16 of 19 students are currently performing below grade level on all benchmarks. They struggle with a lot of frustration and I work hard to meet them where they are and provide opportunities for success on a regular basis.
My students really enjoy hands-on, authentic learning.
Every one of my students has had their entire academic career affected by COVID, from going completely virtual in kindergarten to social distancing and off and on quarantines for first and second grade. This has made hands-on activities a bit more complicated to plan, but I think it is still so important for their learning.
My Project
Most of the items in my cart will be used to plan and follow through with science activities that allow students to see and feel what we talk about in science class. I am so excited about the idea that I could have all the supplies that I need at my fingertips for the rest of this school year.
After having learning repeatedly disrupted in kindergarten and first grade, most of my students are performing below grade level in reading and language arts.
We have focused heavily on addressing that concern, but I am looking forward to having the supplies that I need to make sure that we also plan for weekly hands-on science activities as well.
In addition to supplies for activities that support the SEED standards, I have included books in my cart. It is my hope that these will brighten our classroom library and inspire readers. In addition, many of the books are STEAM-related and I hope will encourage inquiry as we are able to explore these topics further. Some of the books are focused on social-emotional learning as well, as our students really need to bolster those skills, particularly with COVID reducing social interaction and increasing stress at both school and home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
