My students come to school every day (with 98.4% attendance) in a diverse, low-income, urban community. The demographics of my school includes Asian, African American, Latino, and Caucasian students. One goal, as a school community, is to focus on the whole child. My classroom is dedicated to tolerance and humanitarianism. I focus my lessons on the human experience to instill empathy into my students in hopes to create a better world for their generation and generations after. We utilize a vast range of texts, sources, and technology that is available to further understand our world and the responsibilities of a citizen of the United States. I want my students to continue to ask deeper questions about their world, analyze perspectives of others, and be able to support their ideas with evidence.
My Project
My students need shelving in the classroom for their projects. In my classroom, we do a multitude of three dimensional projects. These group projects excite students and help them work collaboratively with their classmates. The problem is that these projects take time and student need places to store their projects while we are working on completing them.
These shelves would be ideal for students to keep their projects safe.
With these shelves, the students would have plenty of space to keep their work so that they do not have to take their work with them from class to class. Currently, I only have 3 bookshelves that students can use the tops to store their work so these shelves would be a wonderful addition to the classroom.
