My Students
Every day I greet students with a smile at the door. We start off with "circle" time. Students are able to express their feelings in a circle. This technique helps with the social/emotional aspect of their lives. We engage in a rich text that helps with reading, writing, and expressing ideas.
My champions are inquisitve children who are always striving to learn beyond the curriculum.
They are children who are always wanting more, and never allow their challenges to prevent them from learning and striving to be all that they can be. My scholars are very outspoken, and enjoy having their voices heard. I call them the "great debaters" because they would rather verbally complete tasks with groups versus independent practices on a worksheet. They all enjoy hands-on learning. They love for their work to be displayed around the school or on bulletin boards. Our school is such a family-oriented environment. Every staff member takes responsibility for each child's well being. It is never "my students”, it is always "our students”.
My Project
The weight of the world has been on the shoulders of educators all across the world. This stress has also trickled down to children. I have witnessed numerous forms of stress and anxiety in children after returning to in person learning this year. After having a conversation and observations with my students they have expressed interest in different "pop its." I didn't realize how much these pop it toys ease anxiety until I tried them for myself.
Students seem more engaged when they are able to keep their hands/fingers busy.
I want them to remain as focused as possible after they have endured so much learning lost from last year. They always ask to fill up water bottles during the day due to our school being required to wear masks. I would love for them to have water bottles that can be personalized and "pop it" fidget toys to help them remained focused on learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
