My Students
My students are in a low-income area. Their parents work a lot in order to support them. It is difficult for parents to take time off to be in the school volunteering. These students face struggles such as lack of food and basic necessities, yet they are so resilient. I grew up in this community and faced many of the same challenges that my students face every day. I chose to teach here with the hopes of inspiring at least one child. The students at our school have so much potential!
Each year, my students love to help each other succeed, and they assist me in creating a classroom that cares!
I am in awe of the things they do to help each other daily.
The students at this school are becoming very excellent at technology, and they are always teaching me new things. Our school now has 1:1 technology, and the students are loving it. They are taking ownership of their learning through their data books and are reaching new heights all the time.
My Project
I love praising positive behavior in my classroom. For the last few years I have used Class Dojo. Students are able to earn points for doing things in class such as coming on time or keeping quiet voices in the halls. Class Dojo also offers Social Emotional Learning activities that support positive classroom behavior.
Last year Class Dojo allowed to redeem some or all of their points, this allowed me to use their points much easier as class currency.
I love seeing students work hard to ear points so that they can purchase things that they would like. This project will allow me to have more options for my students and hopefully get some excited to earn points that weren't before.
More than half of students from low‑income households
