My Students

I love my second graders! Our Title I school in New York City is comprised of a diverse group of students who mostly receive free lunch.

Our students are very energetic and have very different learning styles, abilities, and needs.

Many of our students have learning disabilities and some are just learning English.

It is very important for us to encourage both group work and independent work so our students can succeed. In order to do this, we have to appeal to our students' interests by staying up-to-date with technology. Many of our students do not have computers, tablets, or Internet at home. In order to succeed today, we want to expose them to this technology as much as possible in school!

My Project

My students have been through a lot throughout the year. There were so many changes happening at our school that I think it's important to take a step back and reward them for all their hard work so far this year.

My students have shown a great interest in art this year.

Help us celebrate the end of the year and beginning of a new year with a painting party! Help me fill my classroom with some wonderful materials that will help my students explore their creative abilities using paint and celebrate a job well done.
