My Students
I teach first grade at a Title 1 elementary school in Hawaii where our students come from diverse backgrounds and demographics.
More than half of my students come from low income families, and after a most challenging year of distance and hybrid learning last year, I am determined to give them a SAFE and FUN learning environment when they come back to school this year.
My Project
Students were welcomed onto campus for a brand new school year! My students were happy and excited to be in the classroom, but at the same time felt nervous and scared. I’d like to create a learning space that will “Let Calmness Pour Into Our Classroom”! To create a calm feeling in the classroom, I’d like to use blue, yellow, and green bulletin board paper on the walls along with pouches to display the student’s work. I also want to provide each student with their very own individual pouch of fidget gadgets, sensory toys, and small manipulatives to calm their minds to focus on learning. Please help bring my project to life!
More than half of students from low‑income households
