My Students

The students in our class are motivated learners that press forward despite their hardships. They'll eventually improve with routines that encourage them to make their thinking visible, to confidently share their knowledge or thoughts without reserve, and to develop inquiring minds that are actively engaged throughout lessons and activities. Each student is heard, holds a classroom job, and leads intellectual discussions, assignments, or experiments regularly. They rely on each other, and on a loving, supportive setting to become resilient and to achieve success. I encourage confidence and trust in one another through our class motto: "We can do hard things! Climb, though the rocks be rugged!"

Every student matters, every moment counts.

My class of 30 students, mostly from low income households, will require rigorous interventions to function on grade level by the end of this school year because of trauma, disruptive life events, and many already lacking essential skills. My third grade class has several special needs, ESL, and below-grade level students enrolled. They all desire a safe haven for learning and to feel supported. We each hope to keep pressing onward, enjoy our precious journey, and ultimately realize our climb.

My Project

I teach in a S.T.E.A.M. school, so integration of science and math in most of our learning is essential. Science is supposed to be a regular part of daily instruction in my classroom. I only have three small reader sets for whole class use. Those readers make up about a month of instruction, at most. This means I need to do a whole lot of supplementing. The same is true for each of the other 3rd grade teachers and their classes at our school too.

The materials for this project will benefit all four 3rd grade classes in my school.

I am placing bins in a shared closet and working out a distribution schedule so that all of our classes will gain from this project. We plan to set up a common math intervention time and plan thorough science instruction together. This is all for the benefit of our many students.
