My Students

It is essential to build a sense of community for my students at the beginning of the school year.

My students are a diverse group of learners who come from all backgrounds and bring their unique experiences to our school.

They enjoy learning new things and, of course, having tons of fun. Our school is located in an urban setting with many of our students speaking more than one language at home. Over the years, our school has been focused on helping our students build positive relationships within and outside of school.

My Project

My students need name tags, journals, crayons, books and other supplies. As I get a classroom full of new kindergartners, I will use all of the resources and supplies at the beginning of the school year to help build the community in my class. From the name tags and journals to the people color crayons and character education books, all of these items will play an important role in developing the structure and community in my classroom.

Starting a new school can be scary yet exciting, but when students feel a part of the classroom and they make connections with their peers, they are calm and free to learn in their new environment.
