I just left behind a small, rural school in Alaska for a large intermediate school in Johnson City, Tennessee! What a change! I've always taught 2nd grade, and now I'm teaching 6th grade English Language Arts to about 80 students. These children, who come from very diverse socio-economic backgrounds, are smart, hard-working students who have so much to say during our discussions. They amaze me! For example, at the start of the school year, we read articles and novels that focus on culture. Last fall, we enjoyed deep conversations about tolerance and diversity in light of the readings, which focused on current and outlawed traditions such as girls skateboarding in Kabul or Chinese foot-binding. Hearing the thoughts and ideas of my students spurs me on to do more for them. They are so deserving of the very best I can give them. Projects I request through Donors Choose are part of my plan to make their education rock!
