One of the best parts about my teaching job is the crazy joy, enthusiasm, and chaos that my students bring to the classroom each day. They come from incredibly diverse homes and they bring that diversity to the classroom. The best part is that our students are all open to diversity and they love to learn and share with others. They share willingly anything they have and they are incredibly open to discussions about their differences and similarities.
My students are very curious about the world around them, but many do not have the financial resources to have access to anything but the basics.
Many of my students are the first generation of children going to school in America. Many other children are in homes where finances are a challenge. Because of that, our teaching staff works hard to find creative solutions to keep students moving forward.
My Project
With students back in person, we are using basic classroom supplies and are heading back to what we needed in previous years. The classroom is now the hub and we are going through supplies like we haven't in years!
Things like glue sticks, tape, adhesive and the items needed to remove those adhesives are important to keeping student materials organized and prepared for learning.
An air purifier is important because I have one in the front of the classroom and it makes a huge difference in how the room smells, having one in the back of the room would mean the entire room is getting fresh air.
