My first grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.
We work hard to create a classroom community where students can take a risk to explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.
We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.
Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are family. We learn, play, laugh and grow together!
My Project
My first graders will learn about coins, their value and how to count coins through books and hands on activities. Throughout the money unit, they will have opportunities to earn money by doing chores around the classroom. Then they will put the money counting skills to a real life experience. I will open a store where students can buy items for a care package for teachers at our school with the money that they earned.
This project will provide an authentic purpose for learning.
The students will also be able to spread kindness to hard working teachers! My students will learn a valuable lesson by working hard to do something nice for others. I would appreciate your support!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
