My Students

I have the privilege of working at a brand new school that will focus on STEAM and project/community-based learning. Whether in-person learning or distance learning, we are committed to giving our students a high-quality education. This is a high poverty community and it is my mission to ensure that they have all of the same opportunities as the wealthiest school.

My students are amazing, busy, and curious about the world around them.

They yearn for more than a textbook lesson. They love STEM and being active participants in learning. I want them to have experiences that will challenge them to become the best they can be. I want them to have the 21st-century skills they need such as collaborating with others, leadership, and science, along with reading, writing, math, and social studies. I want them to have the foundations to grow throughout school and in life. These kids inspire me to become the best teacher I can be.

My Project

We have the most amazing students at our school. As expected, many of our students need some intervention to fill the holes left during remote learning. We have several aides that are available and working hard to help our students grow. The items I am requesting will make this more enjoyable for our aides and students. I have some worksheet type items in our intervention basket, but would also like to add more engaging items. I have activities like the Hot Dots that are perfect for our students who prefer to work alone. I also have games like Bingo and Dominoes that will allow for group work.

Students who are learning to read need to know how to build and decode words, so the magnets, cards, and games will make this a possibility.

Help me create inviting intervention activities to fill the holes left by being out of school for so long. Our first graders are so excited to learn how to read, they just need some supplies to help get them there faster.
