My students are a group of eager first graders at a wonderful public school in the largest urban school district in the state, located in the heart of the city. We have a diverse student body made up of neighborhood kids, as well as transfers that seek out a coveted spot in our school. As the only public school in our city that is not Title I, meaning we don't qualify for additional state funds, we rely on families, the community, and DonorsChoose to help equip our classrooms.
My students value education and look forward to coming to school every day, excited to find out what each new day has in store for them.
They enjoy our calm, inviting, and child-centered classroom where they participate in creative, hands-on activities that stimulate their curious minds. My students develop a love of learning and a desire to always do their best, qualities I cherish as a teacher.
My Project
My students have developed a love for school and an excitement for learning. They are also trying to gain a sense of how to be responsible and independent little people. By adding chair bags to our classroom to provide individual storage, each child in my class will understand the value that being organized has in helping them become more responsible and independent. Having a specific place for their books, folders, and other belongings, students will be able to find what they need, get their supplies faster, and clean up more quickly. This will allow them to maximize their class time.
Organization is not just an important part of being successful in school, but it is an essential life skill as well.
Donating to this project will help teach my students the value of being independent, responsible, and organized, not just for this year, but for years to come.
