I am a teacher of English Learners in a low-income, high poverty school district. My elementary school students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom. These challenges are both academic and social-emotional.
Despite these challenges, my students have a love for learning and give their best effort every day.
Our vibrant school community embraces diversity in every form. We celebrate the inclusion of all students in our programs and classrooms.
My students not only work hard on building their academic skills but also on their social skills. I am always amazed at the perseverance, bravery, and resilience they have when they arrive at our school with little or no English and succeed!
My Project
Due to Covid restrictions, my students will not be able to share supplies. These materials will enable me to give each student their own basic supplies to store in my classroom. They will each get a pouch with scissors, glue, crayons, and pencils. Dry erase boards will be used in small groups and can be easily cleaned. Kleenex is always in short supply for runny noses. This project will also supply much needed Kleenex boxes for my students. My goal is to make sure students have personal pack of supplies to keep everyone safe and healthy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
