My Students

Our 5th-grade class is very diverse. We come from a variety of social, economic, religious, and racial backgrounds. We speak different languages and perform on a variety of different academic ability levels. We all come to school each day with a wide range of gifts, talents, interests, issues, hopes, and fears.

Despite these differences, there are so many more ways we are alike and connected.

We have just been through a very strange (and disjointed) couple of school years. We are all adjusting to a new "normal." We are uncertain about what this upcoming school year will look like, but we predict it will still not be a typical school day of years past. We are all, however, excited to get back to learning and we cannot wait to share what we know. We are still curious, will ask a lot of questions, and will celebrate when we are successful at learning new things. Most importantly, we will work hard while appreciating everyone's unique voice and talents to support our varying needs in order to succeed. We know our teamwork is what will make our dreams work!

My Project

During our school days, we will have multiple opportunities to come from behind our desk and gather together in a large group, but this will not be very comfortable considering our classroom will not be carpeted. Prepandemic, we would bring our chairs, or stand, to form a circle for some of our activities. Read alouds were just enjoyed from our desks.

The addition of a large carpet will allow us to more comfortably gather and build a stronger sense of community.

Students will come to the carpet for morning meeting times to start the day and work through socio-emotional themed lessons. They will be guided in whole group reading activities, listen to stories, and gather on the carpet as a choice during independent reading. The carpet will provide a place to play games during indoor recess, and for conflict resolution with restorative practice methods, as needed. During all of this, we will be building connections to each other while creating the strong community we will need to all be successful this school year.
