My students are some of the most inquisitive, optimistic, enthusiastic, and eager learners that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Many come from homes that are far less than ideal but are able to take their differing outside experiences and use those experiences to actually enhance their schooling. They know what it is like to do without, and come up with new ingenious ways to make the best out of everything that we do have.
My students, all from very diverse backgrounds, are able to come together to form our wonderful classroom community.
When someone is in need, there is always a group of fellow students waiting and willing to offer that needed helping hand. Often times, those with the least, seem to give the very most. My students are living proof of this every day!
My Project
My students are coming from an area that is heavily impacted by Covid-19. One of the last things that I want them worrying about during this crisis is how they will get school supplies for this upcoming school year. Obtaining school supplies is often a challenge for my families during the best of times. Adding the current pandemic into the mix is going to make obtaining them near impossible for so many of these families.
It is extremely difficult to achieve success when you don't even have the needed supplies to start off the new school year strong.
Many of these kids are worrying about where their next meal is coming from. I don't want them to have to think about if they will have folders, notebooks, and pencils for class. Let's try to remove any extra burden that we can during these trying times.
