My Students

My scholars from Philadelphia are talented, courageous, and intellectual learners. Philadelphia is a beautiful place to live with colorful opportunities to learn, and our school offers many of those opportunities. No matter what the scholars face outside of the school doors, we allow all bright-eyed scholars to walk through the door everyday, expecting them to soar as high as possible.

My scholars are eagles that love to soar when faced with difficulty.

Like true eagles they are resilient and fight hard for what they believe. From simply answering questions in class to learning about their culture in specialty classes, the scholars in my class are symbols of greatness.

My Project

My classroom consists of 25 unique children who after a full year of virtual learning are now back in the classroom. My students love center time and I created a sight word puzzle for them to complete. As they were completing the popsicle stick teacher-created center, I realized that many of them had never put a puzzle together before. Our classroom does not have much space but we have carpets that allow them to sit and do carpets freely when the center time comes.

Without puzzles, students miss out on organizational and critical thinking skills.

Sight word puzzles, CVC word puzzles, and some fun puzzles will ensure that my scholars go to second grade and understand how to build a puzzle. This will also give them a fun challenge during center time.

We appreciate all of your generosity and are so thankful for all that is donated to us.
