My Students

1st Grade is the most crucial time of learning to read in a child's life. We have a wonderful group of diverse students at our school! All of them love to learn, but might not come to us with the same background or materials available to learn with.

About 60% of our students live in poverty.

If students comes to school late, missing breakfast, I offer them snacks to keep them from going hungry. Some students are homeless, others change living locations several times during the school year, still others stay in the same home. Some students come to school with all their materials while others don't even have pencils or a backpack. One thing resonates true for all my students: They are loved and given the same opportunities to learn!

My Project

Students from my high poverty school need opportunities to be active and learn about healthy choices. Through this project, they will be able to grow plants and vegetables in the classroom, move their bodies and more! They will go from having a playground without any green space to having green space right in our classroom!

My students will be able to have opportunities to engage their bodies throughout the day both by moving and growing a classroom vegetable garden.

They will have a variety of seating options that require them to engage their core, standing balancing options for those students who just can't sit still and the chance to have our own classroom garden of fresh vegetables.
