Since I teach two core courses to my 6th and 7th grade classes, they spend almost half of their day in my classroom. While they're there, they work individually, in pairs, and in groups. They solve problems, play academic games, read and analyze scientific texts, and perform experiments. In addition to their academics, students learn to be productive citizens. During their free time, they read books from the classroom library, explore college brochures, discuss current events, and watch news and movies. It is essential that the classroom environment allows my students the versatility to learn in ways that work best for them. The chairs will provide vibrant and flexible seating options as they move through various activities. The magazine rack will house brochures in our College and Career Corner, where students get inspiration for their futures. My students put in a lot of time in my classroom because they want to be the best people they can be. They live in the poorest Congressional district in the nation but lack of funds should not be the reason any child doesn't reach their full potential. Please help me provide an ideal learning environment for my students.
