My Students

The beauty of working in an extremely diverse school is getting to learn about different cultures and work with a melting pot of students. When every student in my class comes together, they are always learning from each other.

Being in an emergent classroom, it helps me appreciate teaching them even more as I can connect to how they are learning.

My students are always trying their best to learn the English language through visuals and active listening. I am always learning from my students and using what they teach me by observing them to help me better plan my lessons for them. Understanding their struggles, I try my best to make learning fun for them and hope that they enjoy going to school.

My Project

Basic supplies mysteriously disappear in the classroom. Students are often looking for supplies such as pencils. Help give my students these materials so that they are able to have pencils for the rest of the school year. My students are in a low-income household, therefore, sometimes it is hard for them to come to school prepared.

Therefore, I, as the teacher, need to be prepared and have tons of pencils, glue stick,s and art supplies in the classroom so I am able to supply them throughout the year to enable learning without the stress of worrying about not having enough supplies.

In addition, due to the pandemic, it is also important to stay safe by having lysol wipes to disinfect their space every day. The other materials such as 2-gallon zip lock bags are good to store student's art supplies for fun art days.
