My Students
"Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world." - Maria Montessori
Transforming children is par for the course in the Title I, K to 5 school where I teach physical education.
We have one of the largest enrollments of English as a New Language Learners of any elementary school in our city. The challenges these kids face are amazing. Many are learning to speak English for the first time, even as they continue to develop and master their native tongues at home.
There are over a dozen languages and dialects represented in our school. This, along with the long hours of school and after-school program enrollments, severely limit the time available for social interactions and the formation of meaningful friendships outside of school.
In every grade, there are students with special needs. All of the children are working hard to meet our rigorous curriculum. What is more amazing than all of this, however, is the dedication these students show day in and day out as they strive to reach all of their personal, social, and academic goals.
My Project
Why would you need paper and printer ink in physical education? Why wouldn't you?
In our physical education classroom, we use paper and printer ink for lots of important learning activities.
We make lots of charts and guide sheets that help us work independently in the gymnasium. We need progress tracking sheets to chart our individual growth and development and use our individualized data to set health and fitness goals. We produce all different kinds of evidence for our learning and need to publish our work to proudly show the world how much we know we can do. We need to be acknowledged for our hard work and achievements, so we print certificates and photographs to mark our successful growth benchmarks reached during our daily practice. So, we need lots of paper and ink.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
