My students are growing learners who need additional support to spark and ignite their curiosity and love of learning. Some have struggled within a typical classroom all of their educational careers. At my school, our team of teachers hopes to break that cycle by using engaging projects, innovative teaching, instructional technologies, and partnering with businesses to offer more authentic learning experiences. We hope to help our students become the future boost the area needs to open new businesses and bring new ideas to make it the booming beacon it once was.
My students have great potential to be the change our area needs.
However, we need to continue to challenge and enrich their learning environment. By having project-based learning as our main focus to try and re-engage and enrich their learning, we also need to meet their other demands. We need to foster within them to independently seek out challenges and persevere through them. We need to develop within them the ability to become lifelong learners. By offering a variety of opportunities, we can help these students become well-rounded individuals.
My Project
By having accessibility to snacks, my students are able to focus on the lesson at hand and not rumbling stomachs. Over the past few years, I have made it a point in my classroom and school to make sure that outside factors such as hunger will not be a barrier within our building's walls. Students know they can ask for what they need and not be ashamed because of it.
Having the energy to focus and participate will lead my students to success.
By having a variety of snacks such as Kind bars, almonds, fruit snacks, and pretzels will meet many of the different dietary needs my students have.
