My Students

I work in Brooklyn with some great fifth graders. They come to us with learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral struggles. Our daily goal as teachers is to not only teach them new skills and concepts but it is to provide a safe and loving environment where they are challenged to be better people and pushed to reach their fullest potential. They spend the entire day in the classroom and so the classroom should be a warm and inviting environment....a place they love to come to everyday!

My Project

Most of my students are struggling writers and need a lot of supports as they create their writing pieces. They receive this support in small groups as well as during 1:1 conferencing. My current desk is extremely small and very VERY old. I sit with students individually when I am going over their work or discussing behavior plans with them. I want to create the feel of being call into "the conference room" so that there is a greater feeling of importance put on the actual conference. We also need an easel because we work in small centers where I conduct mini-lessons.
