A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are among the brightest yet most deprived students in our urban community. All qualify to receive free lunch. The typical school environment has not been one in which they have thrived; thus, they are attending our alternative learning school.
We are dedicated to providing an education to meet their academic needs while helping them to overcome many of the obstacles in their lives which may have been handed to them through generational poverty.
The traditional learning expectations have encouraged many students to drop out of school, thus impacting their future success. Our goal is to lead by example with a work ethic and high character. We want each student to feel loved, valued, and respected. We can accomplish this by meeting them where they are, setting high expectations, and permitting them to help us understand how to meet their goals.
My Project
Currently we are in a distance learning. These hands-on materials will help our alternative learning style students. They will be able to build the sun and moon rotations and physically observe the changes causing eclipses and phases of the sun and moon. I can share these at home with the school supplies to supplement our online lessons.
The magnetic tiles will serve as students work to rebuild social interactions following the extended quarantine.
We can also extend learning in our Geometry Math curriculum by building and naming the various shapes.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
