My Students

Students at my school are a caring, creative, and unique bunch. They are full of personality and are not afraid to let their passions shine, no matter how obscure. Indeed, one of our more popular clubs is String Band. The sounds of traditional folk music can be heard throughout the halls, and members of the school's folk dancing club can be seen busting a move to the tunes.

Our school places heavy emphasis on 5 core values or the 5 Rs: responsibility, respect, reach, relationship, and resilience.

Our students strive each and every day to embody those values and often exceed expectations. The resiliency they have all shown lately in light of the challenges presented to them throughout the pandemic has been especially inspiring to see.

My Project

This literature organizer will help make it easier for students to access the materials they need. With this piece of furniture, I will be able to have on-hand assignments and activities weeks ahead of time. Students that know they will be gone for whatever reason will be able to find and take assignments early. It will also allow me to keep previous assignments and activities on hand long after we completed them so students that were absent can easily find what they missed.

While this seems like a simple piece of furniture, allowing students to access class materials in this way helps teach them advocacy skills as well as independence.
