My Students

My students are a fun group of creative and active 5th graders. We live in a rural, isolated village in Northwest Alaska, where many students practice subsistence hunting and fishing to support their families. Most of my students are Native Alaskan and are taught traditional native values. My students love playing sports, hunting caribou, riding snow machines and four-wheelers, going ice fishing and sledding. My students are a diverse group, with strong ties to their families, their culture and the land. In the classroom, they are an energetic group that enjoys working in groups, doing hands-on activities, and playing goofy games.

Since moving to remote learning, my students have shown a remarkable level of adaptability and doing the best they can in the current situation.

Many of my students don't have internet in their homes, so online learning is difficult. I have been putting together weekly paper packets for them to work on at home. They miss the school and their friends, but the school has a dedicated staff that is doing everything they can to support every student.

My Project

Many of my students don't have access to the internet at home, so our distance learning has consisted mostly of delivering paper packets of homework to their homes every week. I try to add some fun and creativity with every packet, but there is only so much I can do without art supplies. In class, the students loved to build and create and use their imaginations. Unfortunately, that has been difficult to recreate with distance learning.

With these art supplies, my students can once again let their imaginations and creativity run wild!

I can add fun and creative art projects to their distance learning assignments. These supplies can add so much fun and variety to my students' daily homework assignments. Help this dream of mine become a reality!
