My Students

If you took a peek into our first grade classrooms, you would see many little faces smiling back at you, all with their own stories. Our students come from all walks of life. In first grade they come into the classroom each day with such open minds, ready to learn new things. Our elementary is a Title I school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Many of our kids have experienced more hardships in their six short years of life than most people can imagine. No matter what is happening at home, we strive to make school a fun and safe place for our children.

My Project

In our classrooms we strive to make each day as meaningful, engaging, and fun as we possibly can. We need these materials to help meet that goal each day. In first grade this year we want to start interactive notebooks in math. We need the colored paper to make these journal activities visually stimulating and engaging for our students. Our first grade students will use the spelling dictionaries to keep track of new words to use daily in their writing. Each day we will use dry erase markers in both reading and math stations. These markers will help to make our activities reusable so that they can reach more students in years to come.
