My Students
I have the most amazing students! My children are bright, but are at times unmotivated due to issues unrelated to academics. Many have both social and emotional challenges. A number of them also suffer from health issues that sometimes keep them out of school for extended periods of time. However, even with all of these outside challenges, it never stops my goals of helping them succeed in the classroom.
The issues that these children face is compounded in a manner that has a negative effect on their academic life.
They often carry the socio-economic burden of their parent or guardian. A place to call home is not always stable for my children. Our school has a high population of students living in shelters. The school is considered a Title I school with 100% free breakfast and lunch. One request that the students made while we were establishing classroom norms was that they wished for their classroom to feel like a home.
My desire is to create a safe, environment where my children feel nurtured and comfortable.
My Project
I am seeking supplies that will make our classroom more efficient and add to our children friendly stimulating learning environment. The lack of proper supplies can cause conflicts, frustration, lag time in learning activities, and other interferences that are potential hindrances to maximizing a highly productive day. I am requesting supplies such as. lap boards, dry erase markers, colored pencils and markers.
Having adequate supplies in our classroom would make our use of time and course of activities more exciting and efficient.
During small group work or partner sharing, my students are generally immersed when they are using lap boards and dry erase marker to share/ explain their thinking. We currently only have a few dry erase boards and markers are a scarce commodity in our class.
In addition, all students having lap boards and dry erase markers, will allow for quick assessments and prompt interventions during mini lessons.
The other supplies will influence innovation that include, creative ways to express their understanding, as well as develop communication skills.
These supplies will impact my students by facilitating writing, sharing, and critiquing each other’s work which will help them deepen their understanding of the content being covered.
