Think back to the one classroom that stands out in your memory. Does it stand out because of the teacher, the classroom, or a mixture of both? I believe that the most memorable classrooms have a mixture of a good teacher and a great classroom.
My Kindergarten students attend a urban charter school which is very sparse with its supplies.
At the beginning of the year we are supplied with a hook for each child, four tables, and 18 student chairs. Just enough to have 18 students sit at their tables, yet nothing more. My students are eager to learn and I would love to supply them with as much enrichment as possible.
My Project
Studies show that there is a 30-million-word deficit in young students who come from high poverty areas. The bullying books and organizing bins with labels will not only build their vocabulary but will also teach them how to organize and deal with bullying situations! The students will not only enjoying this kit, but they will be creating life long skills that can change their lives. Any step to bridge this gap is a step in the right direction! Will you help?
With an area that is more organized and appealing the students will enjoy literacy time, in effect giving them more time and opportunities to learn at their own level.
With these additions to our classroom I believe we could have a classroom that would leave a lasting impression!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
