My students represent the full range of San Francisco's energy and diversity. Speaking over 15 languages and with families from across the globe, they come to my classroom excited and ready to learn.
Almost half of my students are English Language Learners (ELLs).
These students, many of them from Central and South America and Asia, are striving to learn not only the critical Social Studies skills of historical thinking and citizenship but also English (a second or often third language for them).
In the coming weeks, these students will be returning to the classroom for the first time in over 18 months. I am committed to building a classroom environment with them that is caring, humane, equitable, dynamic, and filled with questions and learning.
My Project
This class set of erasable whiteboards will help my students engage in myriad activities in the classroom - from quick assessments, checks for understanding, sketching out ideas, or paired writing, these boards allow it all. The notebooks will be made available for any students needing one so that all of them can learn to think and write like a historian.
Writing is essential to the work of historical thinking; these supplies will ensure that writing can take place daily in my classroom.
With class sizes of over 35, supplies are a vital necessity.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
