My Students
My students are reaching for the stars everyday. I strive to provide them with an educational experience that will impact them to their fiber in the most positive way possible. My students are special because they attend a school that is labeled economically disadvantaged. They are hardworking and resilient and it is my honor and privilege to work with them every day.
Modern classrooms require procedures and accommodations for almost every student.
It is an impossible arduous task to ask a 10 year old to stay seated or quiet for exorbitant amounts of time to just absorb information. Most students, if not all, need to move and experience different seating choices that will provide comfort and release of bottled energy.
I have had the pleasure of working with future LEADERS of America. I want to provide them a learning laboratory that makes them excited to come to school each day.
My Project
One of the focal points for this year is to offer students a plethora of books IN the classroom not from the library. I have been fortunate to be off to a good start for books but I need some where to display them and once students begin browsing and choosing they will need some place to store them. The bookshelf and book bins will provide these for my students.
Children today are not the same as they were 10 or even 20 years ago.
They often require special items to help them keep focused, the kick bands will help ease the anxiety some students experience or just provide a comforting release of nervous energy.
My small group table is often crowded and I cannot fit all of the chairs at the table, the stools will help ease that crowding we often experience during small group time. Additionally, the erasers will help with clean up at the students often write on the table. In the past we used wipes to clean up but this becomes messy and it doesn't dry well before the next group.
Behind my small group table I have a white board. The magnetic folder bins would allow students to seamlessly grab their folder and have a seat so that I can work with them during their small group time. Because of time constraints, I only have 60 minutes to meet with 20 kids, and some students need more of my time, things MUST move smoothly. Being organized is one aspect of teaching.
Finally, Storyworks subscription, this tool is unbelievable it has an online component that allows me to differentiate and scaffold text for any student. It also allows for children to interact with the text BEFORE they read it.
