My Students

If you would like to know what positivity looks like, take a stroll through my classroom. My students have survived many of life's challenging obstacles, poverty, death, and emotional hardships, yet they come to school and strive to do their best. I believe because they have found a teacher who believes in them, they are willing to rise above their challenges.

My students struggle with mental, physical, and emotional issues, and more importantly academic issues.

that I believe contributes to the challenges of a traditional learning environment. The pandemic has been hard and even more so difficult for my students with all of the obstacles they faced pre-pandemic.

My Project

Encouraging a love for literacy and reading is the goal of a Reading language arts teacher like myself. Students need multiple varied opportunities to work with letter sounds and building words which is the rationale of the magnetic letters. The jumbo magnetic letters are large enough for the students to manipulate. The smaller magnetic letters will provide my students a more personal approach to working with words and sounds.

Motivated students learn more and try a bit harder for teacher approval and praise.

The motivational stickers might be small but my students light up when they receive small tokens of encouragement. As a classroom teacher I have accumulated many resources and the printer will allow me to print the resources in a colored copy as opposed to black and white. when students work with stations that have colored materials, they are more enthusiastic.
