My Project
As a teacher, understanding the need to start the day with check-ins, fostering a positive classroom culture, using collaborative learning activities, teaching mindfulness techniques, encouraging open communication, and practicing role-play scenarios related to real-life situations help build student self-awareness and identity.
Valuable lessons address diverse perspectives and allow students the opportunities to practice these necessary skills, daily.
My "why" is directly correlated to the needs of my students; as a low-income school district, many come to school with worries. Worries a child should not have: food insecurity, lack of school supplies, family financial stressors, houselessness. Unfortunately, these situations affect how a child feels about themselves. It is my pleasure to offer them solace, a safe place to talk or just relax, a snack for a hungry belly, or simply being a trusted adult that brings comfort to their day.
I would like to enhance my classroom with more inviting decor, comfortable chairs, snacks, and materials that address social-emotional learning. Please help support my project and my students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
