My Students
I teach in an urban area. All my students receive free lunch. They often lack the basic needs that we take for granted. They come to school hungry and unprepared to learn. Their parents cannot provide them with the basic tools they need to succeed in school. Many of my students, who are only eight years old, have already attended two or three schools.
My students come to school curious, wanting to learn and explore in a place that is safe and caring.
I do this by creating an environment that fosters their natural love for learning, a place where they can feel secure and cared about.
My Project
My students will come to school two days every week and work virtually the other three days. I want my kids to have cloth masks in order to cover their mouths and noses appropriately.
I envision using these masks in class everyday.
To motivate the kids to wear the mask I want them to make them their own by decorating them with fabric pens.
Some parents are very wary (understandably so) about allowing their children to return to school in September. I want this to be available to offer to families so that everyone can be masked to further reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 infection.
Further, it will also support my students' distance learning by allowing them to be safe around each other during the limited time they will have with me in the school building so we can focus on the important parts of school like community-building and academics.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
