My Students

A majority of my students are from low income family and receive free or reduced lunch. Many of my students take home bags of non perishable meals to get them through the weekend. Despite their economic status, my student arrive to class with a smile and are eager to learn each day. The community surrounding our school consists of abandoned houses and vacant lots full of debris. My students often tell me about unfortunate incidents that occur in their own backyard. My goal is to create a safe learning environment that they can call their home away from home.

My Project

Our classroom will benefit from additional math materials that will add engaging, rigorous activities to our learning stations. Math games, flash cards and manipulatives will strengthen our counting, adding and subtraction skills. Math board games will not only keep us entertained but will require us to work our brains as we play.

Look up to the sky, it's a butterfly!

A live butterfly observation kit will give us the opportunity to track the life cycle of an insect inside of our classroom. What an awesome experience to add to our bucket list! We will be the talk of the school once we begin to use our new learning materials.
