My Students
Our sixth-grade students are very diverse and have a lot of personality! At this age, students are "awakening" their "adult minds" and asking all the questions they can. It is a lot of fun to work with students in this grade level because they have a lot of opinions and ideas, as well as curiosities.
At our school, we have lots of cultural capital and we focus on working together and supporting each other as a community.
Many of our students tend to praise and recognize one another on a regular basis, and often, the "new kids" are immediately "folded" into the existing social structure, gaining a family of friends in an instant. It is a real joy to watch them interact and explore as they mature.
These kids are at the "top of the heap" this year, as they finish elementary school. They start the year with a lot of confidence and bravado. That turns to nervousness and worries later on, as they begin to realize they will have to learn a whole new school and daily routine the next year, as they enter middle school! In June, they will cry, but we tell them to come back any time!
My Project
Students use in-class laptops on a daily basis, with external, USB-wired mice. Their learning programs also require the use of headphones. To keep these items safe in their own desks, we usually would use zip-top bags, but those need to be replaced quite often and really don't offer a lot of protection for electronic items.
These "storage bags" will reduce the amount of plastic waste we produce in our classroom, as well as provide a more safe and sturdy storage method for student electronics.
Each student will be able to keep their accessories in their own desk for both easy access, and for hygiene, in these times of continuing COVID infections.
More than half of students from low‑income households
