My Students
"Are you ready for a great day Tigers?" is what I always ask my first-grade students every day. They always answer with a resounding, "Yes we are!" as they enter my class with smiles on their tiny faces.
Most of our students and their families were affected by the hurricanes last year, and some are still recovering financially.
Because of their financial situation, basic amenities that they need to prosper and succeed, are not readily available to them.
Even though we have to cater for and adapt to such a diverse range of learning needs, we strongly believe that all children will learn if given the right tools and technology. As their first-grade teacher, my main objective is to enhance and improve their young learning experiences, especially when it pertains to their learning environment.
My Project
Last school year, Donorschoose.org funded my very first project and the hands-on materials requested, helped my first-grade students tremendously. My students were engaged and their handwriting skills showed a marked improvement.
This school year, my new students show similar areas that are in need of further development, specifically in their motor/tactile skills incorporated in our STEM and STEAM curriculum.
Learning how to hold a pencil and write on the lines are of paramount importance and the triangular-shaped pencils are ideal for helping little hands learn how to write properly. The lined paper and journals will be used by the students for practicing and classwork. The journals will also be used by our first-graders daily as they start each day learning to write a new sentence, express a thought or copy new spelling words.
The following directions kit is very useful in helping first-graders students improve their tactile skills while interacting with others. The Spectrum workbooks are reproducible and will help them in preparing for their end of year assessment in March.
More than half of students from low‑income households
