My students come in everyday roaring and ready to go! Our day always begins with several hugs and exciting news that they have to share with me. To be surrounded by children who love you despite your flaws, can't wait to see you every day, and think you hung the moon is the greatest gift in the world!
The majority of my students come from high poverty homes and many don't have Internet access at home.
It is not uncommon for students to come to second grade on a first-grade level. Because of this, it seems that we are playing catch up for most of the year.
Luckily, I teach in a wonderful school where teachers are willing to share resources and do whatever it takes to help students achieve success. Although many of my students are facing various challenges including broken homes, being raised by grandparents and high poverty, they are very motivated learners.
My Project
The whole world is shutting down around us. I want to give my students some stability that they desperately need right now! I plan on making care packages for my students with these materials. After they have arrived, I will personally deliver these items to their doorsteps. Hopefully, I will get to see their sweet faces through the door and help assure them with a smile that everything is going to be okay. Here is a little backstory... Before this shutdown I had students who would ask to take home simple supplies like a pencil, paper, or even a crayon. Now, we expect these students to have the supplies needed to complete school work from home. This is your chance to help me make sure they can.
