Our population is very diverse. We have many nationalities, cultures and abilities. Our children come to school eager to learn and with a thirst for knowledge in spite of their socioeconomic hardships. Our parents do all they can to provide our children with the supplies necessary to succeed. We have an in-depth special education program, a gifted and talented program and a dual language program. My computer lab is used by students in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade.
An elementary school classroom is like no other place in the world.
It is a home for little ones for six hours a day. Teachers not only provide an education in math, reading and other school subjects, they provide stability, love, acceptance and support for amazing little people. Teachers educate the whole child. Personally, I strive to teach values, love and acceptance in my room as well.
My Project
My students need water, fruit snacks, pretzels, and sweet treats to power them through the end of the day. Our room is always buzzing with excitement and learning. With about 800 students per week visiting the lab, we always need water and snacks to help us power through after school, Saturday school, and those days when we are just in need of a snack!
Water bottles will keep students from sharing our germs at the water fountain.
We also need to replenish our band aid supply. Why send a student to the nurse just for a band aid. Sometimes, that band aid can fix anything! Any water and snacks that go unused by the end of the school year will be donated to our Relay for Life team for our Relay Day events so students can have snacks and water at the field while they perform, fund raise, and walk for a cure!
