I teach in a high poverty public school. My students come to me with varying abilities, attitudes, and backgrounds. Our classroom is authentic, supportive, rigorous, and engaging. Every student in my classroom has a unique voice and everyone in the room must respect it.
It is my belief that all children are capable of learning if strongly supported and encouraged with love and enthusiasm.
I believe if a teacher creates a learning environment with high expectations of achievement that is supported by the school and community, students will develop a positive attitude and begin to perform to and beyond the expectations despite any challenges they may face.
Creating a community is essential to taking risks and deeper learning. I care about my students and they know it.
I push my students to meet and go beyond my high expectations even though they may have been conditioned to believe they cannot meet them. Taking time to know my students, not just as learners, but also as people has helped to create a sense of belonging in each student. No matter what obstacles they face, they strive to be their best every day!
My Project
Imagine sitting in class, your teacher is giving a lesson on how to multiply a double-digit number by a double-digit number, but you keep forgetting what step comes next! You got to school late and missed breakfast, all you can focus on is hiding the growling noise your stomach is making so the other students won't hear.
It's hard to learn when you're hungry!
Then you remember that your teacher has a popcorn machine to make popcorn for when students are hungry. You know if you ask her, she'll get you some popcorn! Then you can promptly be back on your way to learning the new task at hand.
My students would love to have a healthy snack option that they all love for those times when hunger strikes. Your donation would mean the world to them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
