My Students

Our students live in an urban area that is very diverse. The majority of the students are from extremely low socioeconomic backgrounds. The students range from high performing to extremely far behind their grade level. Lastly, we are now part of a program that invites refugees to our school and creates a diverse family of students. I want my class to have all of the experiences that every child deserves. Most of the students in our class have no concept of life outside our city. Most of the students have not left the city. A large number of students come to school without supplies, full stomachs, or stable home environments. With this being said, the students are eager to learn and eager to make their lives meaningful. They see, with encouragement, that they can be what they choose. With hard work and good attitudes, these kids can be successful, if given the opportunity.

I am from a Title I school that provides free lunch for the entire student body.

My Project

With the COVID-19 pandemic, my students have the choice of hybrid or home learning. My students have used all of the supplies this year so it is time to replenish for next school year. Students will have to have their own supplies in the classroom, as well as at home. We will have to be extra cautious with our supplies and check for cross-contamination.

This new school year, my students will need their own supplies for learning.

They will need to keep things in their spot and bagged. Students will need crayons, pencils, markers, paper, dry erase boards and markers, pattern blocks, and glue for their own learning. These supplies will be the students and they will be able to take them home for their own use after the school year is complete. Making sure my students are prepared and ready for the school year, will be one less thing to worry about, as we will be able to focus on this new and challenging school year.
