My Students

Our school goes from Pre-K all the way to 8th grade. At such a large school, funding sometimes is hard to find for each and every classroom. We are a tight knit, school community with many dedicated teachers and staff members who put their hearts and souls into our school. Our students are from all different ethnic groups as well as socioeconomic backgrounds. In my classroom, we are a 4th/5th grade 12.1.1 class. My students are unique with amazing personalities, and strive to do their personal best despite the varying disabilities they may have. Despite the many challenges my students face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students the foundation they need to succeed in the future.

My Project

Help us get September ready! This project is about making sure my students are ready from the moment they walk into the classroom. I want them to feel confident from the first day of school. Let's allow them to walk into a classroom fully stocked with new supplies to start the year off fresh! These supplies will help them start out with the supplies they need! New pencils, books, and copy paper are just basic needs in any classroom. Now add some colorful folders and post-its to brighten up any of our assignments and the children will really be ready. Help my students feel successful starting on day one!
