My Students

I currently teach 5th grade scholars in the Miami, Florida area in a difficult neighborhood of extreme poverty. I have enjoyed my year so much that I want to continue on with my scholars next year to 5th grade. My students are bright, intuitive, and have the drive to succeed no matter their circumstances. My students attend one of the lowest-achieving schools with little access to resources and experiences.

My students face unimaginable obstacles inside and outside of the classroom.

A majority of my students are at least a grade level behind where they should be, but that doesn't affect their determination to succeed. My students have a growth mindset, and they continue to amaze me with their perseverance and persistence. They will succeed. They will achieve.

The sky is the limit at my elementary school!

My Project

5th grade is a big year for students. Its their final year in elementary and I want to prepare them for Middle School as much as possible. I feel that project based learning is important for student success. I have created a unit in which my students will research someone important in Black History. Students are able to choose their person, and write about them. They will also present their projects to other classes in the school.

I am building knowledgeable, world-changers in 5th grade, but they need the proper resources to do so.

The Who Was? Who Is? books are going to be a great addition to our classroom library and provide students with the opportunity to read and find research for their essays.
