My Students

Our class of 25 second grade students is filled with support and respect. Morning meetings and closing activities, allow the students to connect and create a home away from home with one another. Their collaborative nature and care for one another enables them to find joy in celebrating when someone takes a risk in learning and the successes one another achieves.

They are thoughtful, creative, and enthusiastic.

They immerse themselves in challenging work and persevere. They work hard to grow their brains and push each others' thinking. The students love working in pairs and small groups. Their inquisitive minds politely challenge each others' thinking and delve deeper to strengthen their understanding. There is a quiet buzz of learning that permeates our room.

My Project

The organizing bins will hold the pens, highlighters and sharpies, among other items, and will be used in all curricular areas. We will now have a supply station for the students to use! They will write stories, analyze and explain math problems, respond to literature in reading, post wonderings up in the classroom to investigate in science and social studies, and much more with the materials provided. Chart papers and bulletin decorations will provide a welcoming, learning environment. The folders will be used for homework and communication with home. Additionally, the students will have different materials to chose from to keep them excited and engaged in learning, such as small notepads and bookmarks.

By implementing an inquiry approach, my students will see themselves as authors, readers, mathematicians, scientists and social scientists.

Your support helps make this possible! Thanks you!
