My classroom is full of children that are trying to get the best education possible while dealing with many issues in their home and social lives. I teach at a Title I school and many of these students come from a less than ideal background. These children are 10 and 11 years old who have been through more hardship than I have in my 35 years of life.
A high percentage of these students are also English Language Learners and have that additional challenge.
They really do their best and have the "yearning for learning", but this is an additional challenge. I am inspired daily by how resilient and tenacious the students are in their lives and their education.
My students range in grade level abilities from K-6. Most of the students are in the 3-5 range. I have 6 special need students this year. Some of my fifth graders are so severe that they cannot even write their whole name.
My students struggle with many things. Some social, some academic. I am hoping to be able to use your generous donations to motivate, teach to my best ability, and maintain an atmosphere where the students feel safe and considered.
My Project
These resources will be used to help motivate students to continue doing their very best work online during the pandemic. Students can earn points with good behavior, participation, and trying their best in live class zoom sessions, as well as with work that they turn in to Canvas. They will then turn in their hard work points and use them as money towards these donated prizes! This way students can aim for prizes that match their personality and will still have an incentive to learn and participate in their online classes!
Many students are struggling with mental health during the pandemic and fun motivational tools are what I am trying to give my students with this project!
Students who struggle with intrinsic motivation can have these prizes to strive to earn to help keep them motivated!
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
