The students in my class attend an urban school district with limited financial resources. Most of the students receive free or reduced-price lunches. Many of them have experienced crime in their lives and find it difficult to come to school. It can be overwhelming to know how to help. They are sweet kids with big dreams. They dream of learning, being successful athletes, helping their families, and reaching their full potential.
Many of these students must overcome obstacles such as poverty and uncertain home situations.
A high-quality educator can make a significant difference in a student’s life. When I look at my students, I see unlimited possibilities. Overall, my students living in poverty are just like other children, but they can encounter limitations and barriers that make it harder to learn, including students whose first language is not English. My main goal is to give each student the chance to have success in school and beyond.
My Project
This school year has presented many challenges in education. Due to the current health crisis, students are at times put on quarantine until deemed safe to return back to school.
Teachers Pay Teachers is a website providing high-quality materials created by teachers for teachers.
TPT activities will allow me to plan interactive lessons for my students while they are in the classroom and at-home learning. These resources are aligned to the standards and curriculum.
These gift cards will allow me to purchase materials needed for my awesome kindergarten students and make it easier for them to be successful in their learning. This site is a valuable resource for teachers and students and would benefit the whole class.
