My Students

First grade is an exciting year full of many social and developmental changes. I have a very engaged group of students and they love to learn. However, there are times when “teachable moments” are interrupted due to outdated and insufficient materials that I am using to teach them.

Our 100-year-old school is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural school, serving students in pre-l through 8th grade.

We celebrate diversity on a daily basis and look for ways to create a learning environment that appeals to all types of learners. We are nestled in a southside Chicago neighborhood, walking distance from a large university.

My Project

You will be helping to provide hands-on materials to support remote learning at home. So much of what we missed when we were sent home in March was providing every student with access to manipulatives and work station items we used every day in the classroom. Students will have dry erase boards and markers to demonstrate their understanding of all subjects. They will use their writing journals to create high-quality narrative, informational, and persuasive writing. I have searched for high quality, less expensive products and I am confident this will really help support student learning. Thank you for your support!
