My Students

I currently work in South Ozone Park as a third grade teacher. My students are inquisitive, kind and full of positive energy. This year my focus is on helping students adjust to being back in school full time. All of the students deserve the opportunity to get the same quality education.

Although my students have faced many challenges, they are all enthusiastic and eager to learn daily.

This encourages me to find new ways to engage and promote a nurturing and fun environment for them. They have proven in just the first month of school that they are motivated and want to learn. I would love help with providing the materials that they need and deserve to help them.

My Project

I am requesting an easel which will allow students to move around and take an active role in their learning. This easel can be easily moved from group to group. Students can take turns solving problems and help each other learn. Education is constantly changing and improving. The focus is now on students teaching and learning from each other as the teacher facilitates instruction.

This is an easy way to create a student centered classroom and motivate students to become independent thinkers.

It will also help to teach them to work together and learn to take turns.
