The students really love coming to school. Our school is a Title I school with 100% free breakfast and lunch, which means that our students come from low-income families. They deal with a lot of stress at home and that stress most often comes with them when they enter the school building.
In my classroom, I focus on capturing the hearts of students by building meaningful relationships with each child.
Having a positive impact on our students is very important to every person who works at our school. We know that the stress that the kids bring with them from home can greatly impact how they learn. Teachers and staff strive each and every day to make sure that we speak to students in the hallways, we shake their hands as they enter the classrooms, we sit and talk with students at lunch, and we play with them at recess. We understand that our students come first. We understand that in order for us to be able to teach them, they have to feel safe and loved by the people around them. Each teacher at my school genuinely loves teaching!
My Project
I have an awesome idea and I need some help making it happen! I would love to do a classroom transformation where we learn all about snow! We will be talking about the water cycle and weather conditions.
Students will be learning all about how snowflakes form, what they look like, and they will be discovering information about Wilson Bentley who photographed snowflakes.
After all of our research and discovery, students will be completing a STEAM project to create their own snowflake designs on a piece of black cardstock with a lot of fun materials. Once everyone has finished their snowflake they will look just like the photographs that Wilson Bentley took!
