My Students
I teach in a Title I funded, public elementary school with about 500 students. My students come from very low income communities. Many students are eager to learn and interact daily at school; however, COVID-19 has put a stop to our engagement with students. It is my hope that through DonorsChoose, we can offer as much personal attention to each child's needs as possible.
This will be the first time some of my tiger cubs will be in a classroom environment and they are excited to come back!
My students are new learners and full of potential, but the poverty level is high with 100% of our population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Personally, I take time to get to know each child in my classroom as a whole person. My goal throughout the year is to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses as well as their character strengths and weaknesses. I love being their friend, teacher, and hopefully a role model.
My Project
This school year I was able to introduce my students to Wedo 2.0 by Lego. They have been able to work together to build and code different projects provided on the application. The kits that we correctly have are missing pieces and we are not able to build certain projects because of that.
This project will allow me to give my students brand new kits that will help them to explore more with the Wedo lego kits.
We will be able to use these lego kits during center time as well as science through out the day. The students will be able to learn how to work as a team to reach an end goal. As well as build fine motor and cognitive skills to help with developmental growth.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
