My Students

My students deserve the best education possible. They are extremely talented, energetic fourth graders, who always seem to put out their best effort in all that they do.

This year's fourth-graders live in Manhattan's Chinatown.

They are superstars! Many of them are English Language Learners and students with special learning needs. Many live in single-parent homes or they live with grandparents while their parents live in another state. Each student receives free or reduced-price lunch. No matter what they face each and every day they give it their all each and every day with a smile!

My Project

Please help make learning more fun. Every day students must wear a mask in the classroom, and with 2 air purifiers running it can be really hard to hear one another speak. I'm constantly stating "repeat what you just said," or students are saying, "I can't hear you." Then I will have to repeat what they just said. I wear a microphone so that everyone hears me. The q-ball is a microphone within a ball. Students can throw it to one another and then share. The ball will amplify their voice so it's easier to hear. For now, it's hard to hear and voices get muffled.

The poppers will be used to help with my fidgety bunch.

Coming back from 18 months of virtual learning has been hard for some. Giving them a fidget spinner or popper will help them focus on the lesson.
