My Students

"Be silly, Be honest, Be kind." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. This quote is framed at the front of our room to remind us that we learn from each other as we work to become better readers, writers, mathematicians, and scientists.

We are a neighborhood public school in the heart of Baltimore.

Class sizes range from 20-28 and our students come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. We are a Title I school serving the city of Baltimore and we offer after-school enrichment programs which are available to every student. Our students have weekly instruction in art, music, and gym. Every spring teachers work with students to stage a school musical for which students audition and create set pieces and props. We are vibrant, but we struggle with funding, to say the least.

Many of our students struggle with foundational skills in reading and math and work below grade-level. Small group instruction is an integral part of our classroom day. As a teacher, I supply my classroom with class library books, student book boxes, poetry journals, educational games, bookshelves and school supplies. These materials create a warm and inviting classroom in which my students work to become lifelong readers and learners.

My Project

My 2nd grade students are lively and active learners. In 2nd grade, students become more independent in their awareness of how they do their best learning as well as learning how to advocate for their own needs. These floor cushions, wobble pads, bouncy bands, and floor seats will allow my students to choose a spot in our classroom where they can be focused and engaged.

Every student is different and thrives under different circumstances.

The wobble pads, balance balls, and bouncy bands can be used at desks for students who are movers and shakers. Floor seats will allow my more sensitive students to find a quiet spot to focus, and floor cushions will allow my wiggly readers to sprawl across the floor with a good book. I have chosen materials that are all easily cleanable with a simple clorox wipe (a must with 25 sneezy noses). The vacuum will allow me to keep our prized classroom rug (an earlier Donors Choose donation) clean and ready for morning meetings and independent work time.
