My Students

Our school is in great need of quality supplies. Our school is a Title one school with 100% free and reduced lunch. Some of our families are very supportive but we also have students who are taking on the role of mom or dad because they come home to an empty home. Our school is in the turnaround process and due to the Covid19 we are still struggling to get kids caught up. I want this next year to be the best yet and have a classroom that is comfortable and inviting, especially since they've had two extremely hard years. My classroom becomes a safe place for my students. They know I will hold them accountable but they also know I care. I want to provide them with as many resources as I can. I want to be the teacher they remember when their my age.

My Project

The students I will be teaching this year have had two extremely rough years. In 4th grade this group of students missed 3 months of school because of the pandemic. This caused the students to fall behind and hindered their growth in 5th grade. Last year half of my students had a teacher who was not meeting their needs emotionally, or educationally. They will need consistent expectations and it will be hard for some who haven’t been held accountable for multiple years.

We have a very hard year ahead of us, and I want to motivate my students as much as possible to do their best.

When students set goals and meet those goals they should feel celebrated. These rewards will help me start the year off with an abundance of positive rewards. Behaviorally this group will need emotional and academic support, with as much positive reinforcement as possible.

These prizes will help me unsure my students feel safe, happy and glad to be at school receiving an education. The goal is to start off with a lot of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to help them find the joy in school again. They need to feel as amazing as I know they are.
