My Students

This year, I will be teaching 3rd grade for the first time. My students for this upcoming year are Second Language Learners and I am planning on incorporating many techniques to ensure they get the support they need. This includes small-group interventions, and leveled texts. Many of my students do not have appropriate books to read at home, which is affecting their growth in reading. Being at an inner-city school, these students may not always have all of the necessary resources or opportunities, but they work together as a class to make the best with what they are given. As their teacher, I am working to create a safe and engaging environment to help these students see the perks of education.

I am eager to help these students progress with their reading and bring them closer to grade-level.

As I will be teaching English Language Learners, having engaging lessons is important to help them with the classwork. I would like to create a classroom environment where students' creativity is encouraged and their voices and opinions are heard and considered.

My Project

This project is a large supply of cleaning supplies that will be used every day throughout the year. Everyone knows that in order to get the best out of your education, you need to be present in the classroom. More and more students miss school each year because of being sick. Not only that but having a mess-free room helps students have a clear mind as they are not surrounded by dirt and grime.

With these supplies, I am hoping to keep the germs at bay and keep the classroom fresh.

Having multiple brooms and the Swiffer will allow my students to keep the floor of our room dirt free. It will also allow the students to clean up after themselves in case they drop their breakfast on the floor or when the pencil sharpener drops and scatters the shavings everywhere. Having a hand sanitizer dispenser will allow my students to walk into the classroom and immediately sanitize their hands after playing outside at recess and lunch, or when they come back from the restroom. The wipes and spray will allow my students to clean off their desks to ensure that they have a clean space to work. Lastly, the air freshener will dispense lavender essential oils which is known to help keep headaches at bay and help with anxiety for those long days of learning and taking tests.
