My Students
I start my year wondering how I can help my students. All of them have their own struggles in their daily lives and I feel it is my job to put a smile on their face. At the end of the year I want my students to enjoy learning and to always do their best.
Most of my students lack the motivation to learn.
They come to school already in a bad mood and it is up to me to get them to smile and enjoy learning. All of the math and reading materials students will love using and show excitement for learning. My students come from poverty stricken homes and most don't know how good it feels to succeed. My classroom is a 1st grade classroom room in New York. A lot of my students come from broken homes or live with other relatives because their parents have made a wrong choices in their lives. All of my students are visual learners and my school doesn't have the resources that the teaches need and technology is one of these resources. I have ELL students in my room that need more support. I want to ensure that I am doing everything I can to help them succeed. I can't tell you how many times I have looked over and seen the tears of my students because they are frustrated. They have it in them to be great learners and it is my job to do this.
My Project
How wonderful it would be for students to go and pick a book off of a stand and know exactly where to put it back. 1st graders have trouble remembering where to put things. The book theme stand will not only allow me to organize the books, but I can also put books we have read as a class for them to read. Some books are just hard to display, but now we could display and use all of our Dr. Seuss books. The writing caddy will be great because students will know where to find the materials they need and get started with their work. The storage cart will keep our room organized and allow us to keep the ELMO out so we can use it.
The donations for this project will improve my classroom by allowing all materials to be accessible to all students.
The kids will not have to come up to me to ask to use something. They will be able to get it themselves. It will also keep all of us very organized so we are not wasting any time. What a great way to create independence.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
