My Students

The students are eager and willing to learn despite the many challenges that they face in and out of the classroom. They live and go to school in a low-income neighborhood and lack the materials and supplies needed to be successful in school. Many of the students do not have books of their own to read at home or the basic supplies to complete their homework.

90% of my class is reading below a second grade level.

We are an Investment School in Cleveland, Ohio. Investment schools are the lowest 10-15 percent of schools in the district that call for immediate and dramatic action. This network of Investment Schools represents not only our clearest need but also our greatest opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students. The majority of the entire school is performing at least 1-2 grade levels below grade level. Despite their challenges, they are eager and ready to learn!

My Project

My students are involved in Inquiry based learning where they develop questions, investigate and explore the world around them. My students are eager to learn how things work, and about things in the past. These hands-on social stations and file folder games will give them the opportunity to explore different aspects of social studies. Many of the children in my room are from poverty stricken homes.

I would like to provide my students with engaging social studies centers to discover fascinating facts about American symbols, identify continents and oceans, explore cultures around the world, landforms, maps and globes, and economy.

I want to give them the tools that they need to explore different forms of science in a fun and engaging way.
