My students are a fun group of creative and active fifth graders. We live in a rural, isolated village in northwest Alaska, where many students practice subsistence hunting and fishing to support their families. Most of my students are Native Alaskan and are taught traditional native values. My students love playing sports, hunting caribou, riding snow machines and four-wheelers, going ice fishing, and sledding.
My students are a diverse group, with strong ties to their families, their culture, and the land.
In the classroom, they are an energetic group that enjoys working in groups, doing hands-on activities, and playing goofy games.
My Project
Every year, TeachersPayTeachers provides so many basic needs for my classroom. I get my posters, flashcards, worksheets, and sub-plans all from the TeachersPayTeachers website.
This year, I am looking at science and social-emotional lessons and activities that I need to download from TPT for my students.
These activities will affect their academic as well as their emotional well-being. That is important, considering the stressful year my kids have been through. I also need to update my sub plans and will need to buy those as well. These gift cards will go a long way in supporting my kiddos this year, no matter where we are learning!
