My Students

My class consists of nearly 95% of scholars who are reading below grade level. Many of my students come from homes in which the parents are uneducated themselves.

Our school is a Title I school that offers free and reduced-price lunches to nearly 100% of our students.

School lunch is the only meal many of our students receive during the day. Our school is in a critical state. We are a part of the lowest 300 schools in terms of reading proficiency.

My Project

Having a plan of action in the classroom is the key to a successful year for teachers and students. Being clear on classroom expectations is my main model when is comes to classroom management. Planning for positive behavior in the classroom is the goal, instead of focusing on poor behavior. I would like to create a desk pet adoption center in our class. This helps to promote good behavior. Once a students has earned a pet, they will earn small tokens for their own personal desk pet.

Help me reward my students for displaying positive classroom expectations.

When students show that they can listen in the classroom, they will be rewarded with "Listening Lion". When students show that they can have positive behavior the classroom, they will be rewarded with "Positive Puppy". When students show that they can show self-control in the classroom, they will be rewarded with "Self- Control Shark". I also would like to have a class pet. No, not a real animal, but a stuffed animal in our class! Students will be able to show our class pet how to behave. One student will even get to take our class pet home as a reward. When one students sees another student being rewarded for displaying positive behavior, all others usually follow the behavior that is being rewarded.

School has so many opportunities to bring joy to students. Having a reward system that students love helps to promote academic excellence and improve attendance. When students are in school they are learning. Now tell me, who wouldn't want to come to a classroom that is full of learning excitement!
