My Project

The items, jump ropes, flag football belts and egg race game sets, I am requesting will make a difference in the scholars learning by allowing students of all backgrounds to come together and engage in a non-academic social setting. Students will have the opportunity to strengthen their social skills. Students will be able to explore, eat, and play together.

Due to the rise in migrant students joining our school school community, the goal of this project is to foster strong relationships and create a safe space for all students which can in turn be beneficial within the classroom.

Students will learn the importance of building close connections as well as sustaining them.

My students are very unique. They are extremely special because they come from various cultures, backgrounds, and countries. In addition to the students who are from the United States, there are students who come from multiple countries including Africa, Ukraine, Venezuela, Columbia, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. When they are amongst each other they are able to discuss their cultures, tell their stories, and celebrate their unique differences.
