My Students
Each day, first graders depend on me to teach them how to read, write, and develop problem-solving skills that will be the foundation of their education. These students come from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Their families qualify for free lunch and often do not have the means to provide literature, manipulatives, and other educational tools at home. So, I feel it is my role to provide them with rich learning experiences on a day to day basis.
Due to their backgrounds and limitations in resources at home, my students often enter elementary school significantly behind their more affluent peers.
My Project
First grade is a crucial year for students as they learn how to read and become independent learners. I aim to make sure that all of my students, even those who are far below grade level, have a solid foundation in reading and math skills before leaving my classroom. I do this by creating efficient systems so that we can maximize instructional time and spend every minute learning.
A few extra minutes to pass out materials might not seem like much, but over the course of a school year they add up to days of lost instruction time!
This cart will allow materials to be readily available to students on the carpet, at their desks, or a centers because of the wheels to move it around quickly and room for numerous supplies. With this project, we will spend less time passing out learning materials and more time learning.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
