My Students

My students experience difficulties both academically and socially. Their problems relate to their home situations, financial stability, poor parental involvement and lack of motivation. This transfers negatively into their learning. As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, I would like my students to experience learning in an enjoyable environment. I want to provide activities where they would be engaged and thrilled and get the chance to change their negative feelings of learning into positive ones.

My students need to believe in themselves, that they can be creative thinkers and assets to the community.

Therefore, these activities/projects will give them the chance to do so.

My Project

My new students who were displaced due to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico are really settling in with the other students. They have met new friends and are following through smoothly with the routine of the academics and expectations.

Now that my displaced students from Puerto Rico are permanent members of my class family, I want their recess time to be fun and exciting.

This is the reason why I am asking for the K'nex activities. I want all my students after a long, hard day of work to sit and enjoy a fun time at recess.

These activities will not only bring enjoyment, but my students will be still learning while having fun. Please help me to bring a smile to my students' faces.
