My Students

I teach in a Title I school where more than half of the students come from low income families. Many students have blended families and parents who work long hours, sometimes making it hard to provide the educational support at home.

"I can do it!" That is the excitement I get to hear when my students learn something new or have achieved a new goal they've worked so hard for!

Each student finds his or her own comfort zone when they are allowed to explore and find out what works for them, while working in an inviting environment!

I currently teach an amazing group of first grade students with various academic abilities.

My Project

Being in a Title One School, meaning more than fifty percent of the students are from low income families, many of my students come to school hungry or without a daily snack.

My goal, again this year, is to help improve my students' health and focus by providing them with a daily snack throughout the year.

When my students are hungry, they are distracted. When they are distracted, they do not learn to their fullest potential. Having had daily snack provided in previous years, I saw great improvement in my students' focus and classroom achievements.

We began a free breakfast program this past school year, which kept our students focused in the morning. By the day's end and after lunch, we're all hungry again and unfocused. My boys and girls need afternoon snacks to keep them going and each child deserves to have something!
