I have the privilege of teaching a group of wonderfully diverse students. I teach students with special needs. I teach students who have IQs higher than mine. I teach students that come from loving families. I teach students who hear gun shots at night. I teach students who can't afford yearbooks and students who buy extra yearbooks for their friends.
We are a suburban school that buses students in from the city.
We are a school that believes each student can succeed. We are a school that focuses on relationship building between the teachers and the students.
I am a teacher who wants to give her students the skills to make a positive difference in the world. I am a teacher who wants each student to know how important they are to the world. I am a teacher who wants to give the world to my students and my students to the world.
My Project
As the first trimester of school comes to a close we are running out of daily supplies we need. We need Kleenex, lotion, markers, granola bars and more to replenish what we've used.
I believe every student should have all the resources they need to thrive in the classroom.
For many, this starts with eating breakfast. I like to have granola bars and other small breakfasts available to students in need. I want to keep my kids in the classroom and that's where the importance of lotion and Kleenex come into play. We also need a new bean bag chair as 1 of ours finally has a hole. These bean bags make for ideal reading chairs and group work.
Finally, I am ordering 3 sets of Crayola's Skin Tone Markers. I want my students to see themselves reflected in every aspect of the classroom, even the marker bin. Everything requested will enhance our everyday learning.
