My Students

My students are 5th graders located in the beautiful, capital city of Charleston, WV. They are eager learners and have hearts of gold. A large majority of the students come from low socioeconomic homes, but that doesn't keep them from being engaged in the classroom.

I feel that the more engaged in learning they are, the more they will enjoy it, and the more they will retain.

These students love cooperative learning and completing projects. They work hard and are always willing to put forth 100% effort. Instilling a strong foundation in education can make a big difference in their successful futures.

My Project

The materials for this project are items to use in the class that are getting low and also some things that need fresh organization. We try to stay organized and keep our class neat and tidy, but some of our supplies and materials have worn out, been used, or just plain broke down.

The classroom should be a place where students enjoy coming and are comfortable.

I am working on making this a place like that. The bookcase would be helpful in organizing our classroom library without taking up all kinds of space. We also use glue sticks like they are going out of style, so they are always needed! The fifth graders use the Cricut often for projects and our materials are in dire need of replacement. All of these things could help spruce up the room and keep us going until May.
