My Students

My school is located in a low-income neighborhood, where most of the students have a low socioeconomic status. My school is a Title I school, where most of the students receive free or reduced-price lunches. This year is unknown and we as teaches are working extra hard to support and keep our students safe at this time. I am currently at a new school in Harlem.

I currently teach in a 12:1:1 self-contained classroom with students who have various academic and social needs.

My 12 students are in first and second grade. They are all loving and enjoy coming to school every day.

Due to COVID, this year is unknown. As teachers, this is very stressful as we want the best for our students. My students are very active and learn best through a hands-on approach. I want to provide my students with different types of materials to help them grow as learners and enjoy school.

Due to this new year being very different, each child will need their own materials to keep themselves safe. Students are not able to share materials anymore. This school year will be very different and we want our students to receive the best.

My Project

As the new year starts, I am starting off a new school. I am excited to continue and support new students. As I think about the year, I continue to think about the needs of my students.

The classroom printer will allow my students to engage in different learning activities and grow as learners.

The sight word and sand materials from Lakeshore will allow my students to grow as learners. The other cleaning materials will keep my students safe and ready to learn. I want my students to feel safe.

This is a new school for me, so I want my students to feel safe and ready to learn! Thank you for all your support.
