My Students

COVID-19 has pushed elementary school students to learn like college students with online videos and components - something no one expected would occur. It has impacted my students' emotional well-being by trying to learn online without the support of their teacher.

Many of my students come from dysfunctional families that don't provide them with the emotional support system they need to feel loved and safe.

Without this support, students come to school feeling abandoned and closed off. COVID-19 has made mental health the utmost importance in my classroom. My students need a safe haven because it impacts their academics.

My students love when I foster relationships with them. They feel empowered to learn, try, and fail because they know I'll love them regardless of how they perform. They are willing to get out of their comfort zones when answering questions they are still confused about. In addition, they support each other with comments like "You got this!" or "Don't give up!". They work hard to make our classroom feel like a family.

My Project

Children want to feel like they're a part of a community, which is why I want various games, crafts, and books they can access to provide them with opportunities to engage positively with their peers. Additionally, there are resources I can read to my students to help them with the mental health challenges they are facing. Everything I picked is for my students so they feel like their teacher, and their classmates, care about them.

All of the resources I have requested will help my students foster relationships with one another to create a sense of family, belonging, and inclusivity in my classroom.

For students who need friendship, I chose games that put them in partnerships or groups so they can be inclusive of others. For students who feel like a minority, I chose books where they'll feel represented in the classroom. For students who struggle with mental health challenges, I chose books to give them additional support and empathy for their situation. I found space posters and tools to excite my students' various passions and hobbies. I considered a vacuum to keep our classroom sanitary for students who live in unfortunate living conditions. I chose everything with a specific purpose - how can I reach all the students in my classroom so they want to be here.

I strongly believe that students struggle with learning when they don't feel supported emotionally and academically. I strive to give my students the emotional and academic support they deserve. I believe that I've accomplished my goal as a teacher if my students leave my classroom knowing they have a lifelong friend they can always turn to - whenever they need it. My hope is that they feel like I am their lifelong friend, in addition to other peers in their class.
