My Students
My school is a diverse blend of students from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Students in my class are inquisitive, creative, hardworking, and loving. I'm overwhelmed by how much the students crave and appreciate the genuine care and warmth they find in our room.
Although students have experienced academic setbacks due to COVID, they are fighting mightily to make up lost ground and achieve their maximum potential.
They grow through a multiplicity of learning methods, including reading, technology, dance, art, and hands-on math and science. They love to read, to express their interests through the arts, to investigate new areas in science and they celebrate with great enthusiasm the progress they make in every area.
With our recent short-term closure due to COVID, I recognize a marked increase in anxiety and stress. The needs of students in the school setting are much more than academic.
My Project
The potential for my students to grow and learn through explorative experiences with the materials requested in this grant is endless.
Reading opens worlds otherwise inaccessible to my students.
The books and educational games I ordered include diverse genres and ability levels that appeal to the varied interests and abilities in my classroom. Given enough books in my classroom library, I would be able to allow students to take books home, a privilege deeply desired but very rarely allowed due to the small collection in my new classroom.
STEM exploration builds interest and skill, triggering questions that produce present and future scientists. These games and activities will provide exciting opportunities for growth and entertainment!
Artistic engagement, a platform that allows students to express emotional needs often suppressed, requires materials. These materials, generally accessible at school, are often unavailable at home. We have discovered over the last few months and years that learning at home can become the new reality at a moment's notice. The art supplies provided by this grant will allow us to give students the same opportunities for artistic expression at school or at home, whatever the current conditions require.
