Help me give my students start the day off by entering a nurturing classroom environment that helps them be successful in academics, but also emotionally successful and supported.
Our students are a group of diverse learners who enjoy school. They come from all types of family structures and often are children of working parents. Most of our students come from families with low SES. They often need materials, extra help and most of all our support. Sixty percent of our students are on free or reduced price lunch. We also have a large ELL population that needs extra support. Along with academics, many of students need emotional support and guidance.
Our school is a tight-knit campus where students feel supported and nurtured.
Our mission statement states that we want to instill in all our students the love of learning through high expectations, innovative instruction, parent communication and involvement of family and community.
My Project
Many students in my classroom are going through a variety of social and emotional challenges in their lives. Sometimes school is a play students long to be because they feel supported and loved.
The books I have chosen will help support the social and emotional needs of my students by teaching them how to make good choices even when life presents challenges.
Needs that are often not meet outside of school walls.
I want my classroom to be a safe and comfortable environment for all students. A place in which they know they will always be heard and a place they can always speak freely.
