My Students
Upon entering my classroom, you might not have any idea of the incredible magic that is actually happening. My students are full of energy, excitement, and compassion. They are enthusiastic and love school and learning!
Both social and educational learning happens simultaneously at any time during the day.
Our classroom is nestled in a public education school with approximately 720 students of mixed ethnic and social-economic status. Our families are mainly middle-low to low socioeconomic status. We are a school set in an urban location and receive Title I funding. Because we are such a diverse community, our school delves deeply and immerses the children immensely into the arts. Music and art and creativity, are things we all understand regardless of the language we speak. We are an incredible school that delves its students into learning and encourages collaboration amongst all students regardless of ethnic background, economic status, or academic and learning style.
My Project
My students are home trying their very best to learn, but living in a New York City apartment with multiple people can be really difficult. During the day, I can see my students struggling to focus. They are constantly turning around because of a variety of distractions. Some kids are at learning centers, some kids have parents working or have siblings learning in the same room as them.
New York City is a great place to live, but it's NOISY!
We need your help to provide headphones to all my students so they can learn and grow. Virtual learning is hard, but our job is to help them succeed.
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
