My Students
My students are hard-working and excited to learn. They surprise me every day with their ideas, independent thinking, and unique interests. A large percentage of my students are English Language Learners, where English is their second language.
The elementary school is located in a low-income community and not that far from violence.
Due to budget cuts and minimal financial support, our students lack the sufficient resources they need to excel academically. Approximately 98% of my students are currently residing in a low-income neighborhood, therefore they lack the proper resources to foster their learning and love of school.
My students are learning in an environment that offers life skills, the ability to work in collaborative groups, become "emotional smart", and ”be social-emotional aware". All important skills for now and the future.
My Project
Ms. Jackson's curriculum will teach my online students how to self regulate behavior, learn to make good decisions, gain powerful self-esteem, and possess unstoppable confidence which will help close the achievement gap! Students will write music and lyrics that will help students navigate their feelings about their crippling beliefs about learning, increase their self-esteem, and feelings.
To honor my late dad's love for writing music, and lyrics, Ms. Jackson's curriculum teaches the students.
My classroom will have positive energy, and spark their excitement to learn! My students will get along with each other, learning how to regulate their feelings. so they can avoid needless trouble.
