My Students

The students in my classroom are all considered at-risk of potential future academic failure. All though they are at-risk because of economic status, language acquisition or other family factures, I consider them future stars that need a little extra. I was able to overcome some of these same obstacles. So I know the students can also. For most of the students this is their first experience with school or even away from family. My personal goal for all of my children and their adults, is to build a positive foundation of learning. By working toward this goal the students will be confident, independent individuals with the tools needed to succeed in life.

I provide them with an environment where the are respected as individuals and feel safe to express themselves.

From this, they can reach their full potential, which is beyond what they think they can accomplish. These accomplishments affect the families, students and adults, which fosters future educational success.

My Project

The students in my class do not have access to many materials in their home. I want to begin providing sensory and hands-on materials in the classroom. I want to provide the students with learning that promotes developmental skills in an appropriate manner. The sensory items will buld Math and Science concepts while promoting Language and Literacy experiences.

Opportunities of hands-on materials offer the students open ended experiences through the manipulation of these materials.

The students will be engaged on multiple levels to give them a deeper understanding of the concepts. My children will be the future leaders, so let’s give them all they need to succeed.
