My Students

My students are amazing! They have been through so much this year already, not including COVID. The teacher they started out with at the beginning of the year quit quit shortly after the school year stared and they had a rotation of substitute teachers until the end of the school year. The students are special because they are so resilient to the changes that they have been through in such as short time and take it in strides. When their teacher left after a few months she took everything with her, including the library and all art supplies.

These students have a strong desire to learn and absorb all the information they can possibly take in.

They are so willing to take in new information and experiences and apply them to what they learn.

My Project

This project will help my students access to a classroom library they have not had. Their previous teacher left shortly after the beginning of the school year and took everything with her, from the art supplies, to the behavior reinforce the rewards, and including the classroom library leaving these kids with a pretty empty room except for their desks in. This project will help to fill the walls of our room and make it our own but most importantly increase our class library giving students direct access to books that will help increase their experience of the world and use of their imagination through literature.

The books in this project will help the students grow not only academically but allow them a space to take a step back from the crazy world we are currently experiencing into other exciting worlds.

I believe books are essential to help a student grow academically and emotionally as it helps the student build on their reading skills and vocabulary.

The art supplies will help the students move away from the constant computer screen assignments and allow them to express their emotions through hands-on materials. Many of my students have some form of anxiety, the sensory anxiety strips will help the students during testing, allowing them to relax and not feel as stressed while they are taking tests.
