My Students
Currently, in my class I have 19 inspiring scholars. I teach first grade at a low income, high needs elementary school in Charlotte, NC. In my class I have 3 English language learners and 1 student that receives additional services. My students enter my classroom everyday with a handshake, high-five, or hug (in some cases all three). Despite whatever struggles or setbacks may occur beyond my walls, I want the interactions and education they receive in my classroom to be encouraging and optimistic. I want them to leave my class understanding that they matter, it's okay to make mistakes, and that learning can be FUN!
My students are creative, enthusiastic, and consistently positive.
They love to learn! They are bustling with energy from the moment they enter my door in the morning to the moment they leave. Their energy inspires me to be a better teacher and a better human being. As a first year teacher I can feel overwhelmed at times by the workload and all of these new experiences. However, it is my class, my 18 students that ground me and encourage me to give them my all everyday.
My Project
I have requested materials such as Expo Markers, magnetic handwriting paper, and a pencil sharpener to ensure my students have access to these resources EVERYDAY! My students are amazing and deserve to have access to these essential and high quality items to ensure they are learning and engaged in every moment. I have also requested items like a meditation floor square, paper trays, and wood contact paper to make my classroom feel more like a home. Many of my students move frequently, live in low-income housing, or even hotels.
My goal is to make my classroom feel more like a home for my students.
Having a space of calm and consistency is important for me to have for my fantastic students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
