My Students
I work in an urban district of diverse students, but economically challenged. They come from various backgrounds of hard working families, broken families, single parent homes, all within an unsafe environment.
My students face challenges in their personal lives that most of us would be broken by and many see school as their safe haven.
But yet, my students come to school eager to learn and look to me to be almost everything to them.
I take that challenge with great pride and do everything I can do to ensure my students receive a comforting, safe, and nurturing class environment as well as a quality education.
My Project
We have daily recess as part of our physical education requirement. My students only have an empty field to play in. No sports equipment or playground accessories. Sometimes students will bring in their own ball from home, but they are always not in the greatest shape and not enough to go around. Unorganized play results in injuries from rough games of tag and also many kids just standing around not getting any physical activity. Sports equipment will allow for all students to be able to be included and play in the sport they choose. Also, organized games will cut back on unwanted injuries and trips to the school nurse. Most importantly, the students will be active and having fun with their friends!
