Help me give my students safety measures during the pandemic we're experiencing. We hope to avoid extra distance learning. To be proactive, we need essentials like a touchless thermometer for health checks each time students enter our classroom.
The students in our class are motivated learners that press forward despite their hardships. They'll eventually improve with routines that encourage them to make their thinking visible, to confidently share their knowledge or thoughts without reserve, and to develop inquiring minds that are actively engaged throughout lessons and activities. Each student is heard, holds a classroom job, and leads intellectual discussions, assignments, or experiments regularly. They rely on each other, and on a loving, supportive setting to become resilient and to achieve success. I encourage confidence and trust in one another through our class motto: "We can do hard things! Climb, though the rocks be rugged!"
Every student matters, every moment counts.
My class of 30 students, mostly from low income households, will require rigorous interventions to function on grade level by the end of this school year because of trauma, disruptive life events, and many already lacking essential skills. My third grade class has several special needs, ESL, and below-grade level students enrolled. They all desire a safe haven for learning and to feel supported. We each hope to keep pressing onward, enjoy our precious journey, and ultimately realize our climb.
My Project
I have carefully sought out essentials to keep my students safe this year. We have new needs during the pandemic. Communal supplies are no longer shared. With my own funds, I purchased small individual bins to fill. I'm lacking enough whiteboards, library book bags, and masks for my classroom. In addition, our first-aid kit needs some updating. We must have large bins to safely store and isolate contaminated items until they're sanitized.
My priority is to keep students safe and healthy each day.
We sincerely hope to remain together on campus all year.
