My Students

Every day I greet students with a hug and a smile at the door. We start off with "circle" time. Students are able to express their feelings in a circle. This technique helps with the social/emotional aspect of their lives. We engage in a rich text that helps with reading, writing, and expressing ideas.

They are students who are products of generational poverty, but every day strive to do their best.

They are children who are always wanting more, and never allow their challenges to prevent them from learning and striving to be all that they can be. My scholars are very outspoken, and enjoy having their voices heard. I call them the "great debaters" because they would rather verbally complete tasks with groups versus independent practices on a worksheet. They all enjoy hands-on learning. They love for their work to be displayed around the school or on bulletin boards. Our school is such a family-oriented environment. Every staff member takes responsibility for each child's well being. It is never "my students”, it is always "our students”.

My Project

Summer is nearing and the new school year will be here before we all know it. I am excited about the new year, but I know many of my students’ parents just can't afford items on the back to school supply list.

I try my best to stay away from pencil and paper in my classroom while teaching new concepts.

I find that the students are always more engaged with Expo markers and white boards. They are able to erase immediately as I give them immediate feedback.

During independent practice, students must use pencil and paper and often times they aren't coming to school with supplies. I really want them to start the school year off with these basic supplies and not be frustrated about when mom or dad can get them.
