My students come from many different countries across the globe. They speak multiple languages and have some incredible life stories that I love to listen to as I learn about each of them. Their experiences are both incredible and harrowing, and yet we all come together in the same classroom to find comfort, education, a positive environment, and a unique learning experience.
What makes these students so special is that they come from around the world and all have something to teach each other, and they always have something to teach me.
Each year, I learn a great deal about my students and about the experiences they've had and the places they've been. In a world where new technology and traditional education is always at our fingertips, it's meaningful for me as a teacher to expose my students to special opportunities, unique trips, and a comfortable setting where learning is evident and expected, and all students remain engaged so that we can try new things and always remain successful. I hope to engage disengaged students by giving them reasons to come to school and get excited about learning!
My Project
We are flying through books this year which is amazing, but it's also making me realize how limited our book options are in my classroom and in our school library. As students read more, they are more aware of other books and are requesting certain titles, genres, sequels, authors, and so on.
I love nothing more than to hand a student a new book that they requested and are excited to read!
Students have asked for specific books for the new marking period and I will do everything I can to provide those books to them. They have asked for books connected to video games, anime, certain topics, poetry, and so much more. Oh, and we ran out of disinfecting wipes so we hope to get some more of those too as we head into winter.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
