My Students
I teach in an urban area. All my students receive free lunch. They often lack the basic needs that we take for granted. They come to school hungry and many unprepared to learn. Most parents cannot provide them with the basic tools they need to succeed in school. Many of my students, who are only eight years old, have already attended two or three schools.
My students come to school curious, wanting to learn and explore in a place that is safe and caring.
I do this by creating an environment that fosters their natural love for learning, a place where they can feel secure and cared about.
My Project
The Science of Reading, how do children learn how to read. My school is embracing this initiative; we want every child to become a proficient reader.
I want to kick off the school year by making the teachers and students feel excited about all we will accomplish and learn this year.
I want to give out candy bars (wrapped in the "I Love Reading" wrappers I will cover them with) so we have a sweet year. The bookmarkers with their wise words will inspire us. The sweet lavender scent (tied with our reading ribbon) will help relieve the stress that comes with learning and doing something new. And the socks (Shh, I'm Reading) are just for fun.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
