My Students

I work at a wonderful, family-oriented, Title I Program Improvement school with awesome students! The majority of our families are considered to be low to low-middle income with many living below the poverty line. More than one-third of our students speak English as a second language.

Our school offers extra assistance and enrichment when needed.

We have a part-time intervention teacher who spends 100% of her day on student academic intervention. Our school is lucky enough to have three autism-specific classes with students who mainstream into general education classes throughout the day. We have a resource class for special education students and for those who need extra help; a garden teacher (paid for by a generous grant) who works with the students on the Next Generation Science Standards; volunteers who come read with and/or tutor our students several times a week; and many teachers who run intervention and enrichment classes after school.

My Project

During math, I see great value in having the students complete practice problems on small whiteboards that fit in their laps. Not only does it save paper, but it is easy for students to correct mistakes they might make. I also find a great use for whiteboards with my students who are learning to speak English.

My class needs all new whiteboard lapboards to replace the worn-out ones they are currently using.

Most of my lapboards were sent home during the pandemic school closures and never made it back to school. The lapboards left in my classroom are scratched and stained and unusable. I would love to give my students new whiteboards, pens, and erasers so we can use them during math to practice our skills.

These boards will also be used with my students who are learning to speak English. They can use them to show a visual representation of a new vocabulary word.
