Having the opportunity to teach at the school that I was a teacher's assistant at for seven years is merely a dream. As I enter my 11th year in education and 4th year as a classroom teacher, I am beyond excited! I teach at a Title I, partial magnet school in North Carolina where the students are introduced to the arts in addition to their academics. Working at a Title I school means that at least 75% of the student body is at the poverty level.
I love the fact that my students are curious about EVERYTHING!
They love making real-world connections from the topics that we are exploring. If I could describe my students using four words, I would say:
Curious: They question what they don't know, understand, and what they want to learn more about.
Talkative: Everyone has a voice.
Active: Learning while we move.
Team building: Working collaboratively together. Together Everyone Achieves More.
I am beyond excited for what the school year will bring us and thankful for the opportunity to watch my students GROW!
My Project
The materials request will help my students flourish more in our classroom. All of these supplies along with the desk organizer will help us to maintain a fun, clean, and safe learning environment while making sure that we have everything that we need. We are a magnet school, where integration happens throughout our building. So these materials will help bring our curriculum to life. There is a part of our curriculum where my students participate in four hands-on stations, which is known as Lab time. Students have the opportunity to experience the following stations: Imagination, Engineer, Explore and Create. Normally these rotations are done with a group, but because of Covid-19; we have to individualize the materials for each station. This is why these supplies are so important to not only myself but also to the students that I teach.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
