My Students

The section of the city where I teach in is a very low-economic area with minimal family involvement. Many have limited resources. However, they make up for that with their personalities and eagerness.

Many of my students come into school without previous education, minimal basic skills, and minimal supplies, but are eager and willing to work hard to learn all they can.

In order for my students to succeed and thrive, we need to have a safe and inviting environment. In order to do this, we need snacks for energy, centers that are exciting, and new, basic everyday materials that are readily available for the classroom and for home.

My Project

Here we go again! Virtual learning is back and hopefully with your help we can make it more productive and reduce some of the common challenges my class and I experienced last year. My students are provided computers, Chrome books, but with limited experience and lack of areas in their houses that are conducive for learning, I need to find ways to help them succeed. I am asking for headphones, with microphones, so that background noise is limited and hopefully will promote my students to participate more, as well as reduce the many distractions while they learn rom home!
