My Students

"Look! I did it! I wrote my name!" My sweet students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a large array of experiences to our room. One thing they all have in common is using their imaginations and creating a happy world within our walls.

Daily, my students overcome a variety of basic challenges - getting breakfast, making it to school, having homework completed.

Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district, serving over 80% free/reduced-price lunch. School becomes a safe haven for these scholars - where expectations are the same every day, and their basic needs are met. While they come to school to learn, they thrive when they are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of resources to make learning real and fun. This is what keeps them coming back and keeps them hooked into learning the rigorous academic standards.

My Project

My students are always excited to learn new things, but the ideas and concepts that stick with them best are those that are real and tangible. By having an incubator in our classroom, we will be able to watch the life cycle of chickens happen and see it happen first hand.

Hatching chicks and then caring for them will not only teach my students important academic skills, but also important social and emotional skills about taking care of others.

By taking care of chicks in our classroom, my students will learn about how to be responsible and take care of the world around us.
