My Students

I am a teacher at a Title I school where 90% of my students live in low-income households. Our school was shut down in March of 2020, and since then, the community has worked tirelessly to provide adequate virtual education for all learners. We are finally gearing up as a district to return in-person next month, September 2021! Although students will still be able to receive the free daily meals that they are used to receiving in school, there is still a need for basic supplies this school year due to the unforeseen challenges this year has brought for students and families.

I am so excited to welcome my third graders back to school in person; they deserve nothing less than the best experiences and materials!

Third grade is a year of rigorous yet rewarding work and my students always rise to the challenge! The encouragement, positivity, and collaboration of my students continues to amaze me every day. Despite all the uncertainty of this year and the amount of learning they have missed out on due to the pandemic, they continue to persevere and make learning so meaningful! They deserve to be afforded all of the opportunities in the world.

My Project

Picture this: You're in a third grade classroom for the first full week since March of 2020. Excitement is in the air; the kids are thrilled to be back in school. As the year gets going, the assessments start. But imagine those same excited kids taking these beginning of year assessments without testing privacy shields. Being distracted leads kids to not do their best on assessments.

These privacy shields will help students focus on their work and keep distractions to a minimum.

Assessments help me to plan meaningful instruction for students to fill in learning gaps, so it's crucial that performance matches students' ability levels. These folders will help students to maintain focus on the task at hand and not wander their eyes and find distractions. The small white boards will help me while completing small group testing, read-alouds, and to run effective stations. The Clorox wipes will help us to stay healthy; we can sanitize these privacy shields easily.

Thank you in advance for supporting the learning in our classroom!
