My Students
My classroom is full of energized, engaged, and creative students who live in Chicago . My students come from various backgrounds and different areas of Chicago. This diverse environment creates a wonderfully accepting community in my classroom and school. Currently over 60 percent of our students receive free or reduced price lunch services and many do not have access to resources at home. My goal is to be able to provide educational experiences for all the children in my classroom, that will keep them excited about school and become lovers of learning.
My Project
With a new focus on limiting contact between students, my classroom needs seat sacks in order to store student school supplies. Seat sacks will allow each student to keep their school supplies separate and easily accessible. I want my students to feel ownership of their learning supplies. Because their supplies will be readily available to them in their seat sack, they will feel empowered and independent. We will not lose valuable instructional time passing out materials. Students will be able to access their own supplies when needed.
Kindergarten students want to be independent but organization is a skill that needs to be developed.
I believe organized people are more successful and an organized classroom is more effective. Seat sacks for all my students will be the key to achieving safety, organization, and success
