My Students

My students are a great group of students who are filled with a lot of energy. They are a mixture of Brooklyn natives and recent immigrants to our country. I have a large population of recent Yemeni immigrants. They come to school every single day excited to learn. Their excitement pushes me to do my best every day.

Many of my recent Yemeni immigrants have experienced years of interrupted schooling, destruction of their homes, and family members that have been lost due to the conflict in their home country.

Many of my students are also struggling in low income households, but despite all of their trauma, these kids are resilient and inspire me in new ways every day!

My Project

Finally being back in school has brought excitement to many of our students. For months they have sat home and stared at computer screens to complete their assignments. Many of them have fallen into funks and have also stopped working out and complained about gained a little weight. Being back at school gives them the opportunity again to participate in daily physical activity.

Providing my students with backyard games like corn hole, spike ball, kan jam, among other games, will give my students the opportunity to enjoy fun games while being active and practicing social distancing all at the same time!

Most of my students have never played any of these games before, and they have been so used to only having a weight room at our high school, so this would be an enjoyable change/addition for them!
