My Students
My students love to be active learners. They are very inquisitive students who want to know the ins and outs of everything they interact with. I picked my students up today to begin class, and they each had something they just couldn't wait to share with me ranging from how excited they were to make ice cream today, a hands-on project that turned liquid into a solid, to how a big brother helped one student with her homework last night. Each student was so excited to be at school.
Sometimes this excitement makes me forget the environments that most of my students survive in while they are not at the school building.
Some students have no help with homework at home because mom works overnight in order to ensure they have a safe place to live. These families are struggling, but my students still put on smiling faces each and every day when they walk into my classroom.
My Project
A classroom is always hard to manage if we don't have the basic necessities. In our classroom, having pencils and crayons is essential! We use them every day, multiple times a day. And if you haven't been around kindergartners, crayons and pencils don't last very long. We have learned to become far more responsible with them. But it's only a quarter in to the school year, and we are already in need of new pencils and crayons! Our crayons are broken, and pencils have no erasers.
Drawing with broken crayons and pencils makes it much more difficult to express ourselves!
I personally bought the first set of crayons, pencils, and glue. But we have quickly discovered it won't last the rest of the school year. These supplies will help us continue to learn and grow throughout the school year.
