My Students

Each year we have more and more students who have families struggling to make it and who often have to move in with relatives after a job loss. There are some families that are homeless and need more assistance. Many also come from military families. We have many cultures represented at our school. The students at our school really want to make good choices and we have a staff that is working to help guide students. Our staff continually goes above and beyond to help their students. The school is based on the idea that we are all part of the same team, and we work towards helping all students. Almost 100% of certified staff work as mentors during their personal time to give students who need extra help the attention they need. We are working hard to make sure our students are prepared for the future. We have added a Makerspace and are now working to extend our STEAM clubs, and we are encouraging girls to participate in STEAM activities.

My Project

Our students are working towards learning to control their behavior. It is very difficult for some of our students to manage their feelings, and to make good choices with behavior.

Students have individualized behavior plans to help them become more successful.

In order to help the students be successful, we want small items that the students can work towards that will motivated them towards better behavior.

Each morning I check in with the students, we talk about our goals for the day, celebrate previous successes, and discuss strategies to be successful for that day. At the end of the day we process how the day went. When they are able to meet goals, they get to a prize.

I have selected a variety of small items that might be motivational for students, from mini cars, mini animals, puzzles, dinosaurs, and dolls. Students have different interests, so I want to have a variety of items for the to choose from. There is also a lot of difference in ages, so items were chosen to appeal to boys and girls from each grade level.

I appreciate your help as we encourage our student so be successful.
