Help me give my students a little privacy. These privacy boards will help them focus.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parks's classroom raised $501
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are an enthusiastic, imaginative group of fifth graders. They are living in an inner-city community. Many are living in shelters. Some are English Language Learners and others have an Individualized Educational Plan. There are many students who have repeated a grade. Most face challenges both inside and outside of school on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, they love learning. They work hard every day in school and at home. They work with classmates to problem solve. They have goals and are working hard to achieve them.
My Project
We have many students in a small classroom. They are busy throughout the day. Mostly they are working closely with their peers. But sometimes they need alone time.
Having privacy boards will help my students focus when working independently.
Distractions abound and while we often work cooperatively, there are times when we need to work individually and be able to focus on what we are doing. Our rooms are set up for important group work, but sometimes this can be very distracting
These privacy boards will enable us to read independently and focus on independent writing.
Sometimes we just need time to feel alone to sort out our thoughts and feelings.
Nearly all 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
