My Students
I have the pleasure of teaching a group of 12 passionate, motivated, and unique fifth graders. There is so much that I can say about them, so much that I don’t know where to start. Residents of Pontiac, MI, these students have experienced many challenges that no one their age should have to go through this early in life. Despite their home environments and any other obstacles they face on a daily basis, they come into class every day with a smile on their faces and ready to learn.
I have been fortunate to have a group of students who are not only eager to learn but eager to become a better version of themselves every single day.
Of the 12, five of them have IEPs. Instead of isolating their classmates, the rest of the class encourages and includes them in everything. They all truly embody the concept of cooperative learning.
My Project
This year, I have put emphasis on our class being a team. Our team is not complete if one of our teammates is missing. Our team cannot be successful if one teammate doesn’t contribute their unique talent.
As a team, we decided that one of our goals is to have full attendance and full participation every single day.
To help achieve this goal, we realize that a cool down corner/reading nook would be beneficial to our classroom. This will help achieve our goal because it will allow for students to have a place to cool down/reset from any frustrations without having to leave the classroom and miss instructional time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
