My Students

Each of my students comes with a unique set of baggage that may include academic deficiencies, social challenges, economic disadvantages, language acquisition and emotional struggles, but they do not let that define who they are. Every day, they amaze me with their determination and perseverance. They are eager to learn and ready to tackle the world.

Our classroom culture is built around embracing these unique experiences.

We learn acceptance through character building, collaboration, learning to trust others, and compassion as part of our daily work.

My Project

With COVID restrictions in place, handling physical books is very different this year. My students need the ability to not only take home a book to read, but to have the ability to annotate within the story. The amount of skills learning in first grade is sometimes mind boggling. Currently we use a lot of sticky notes to annotate characters, setting, BME, main idea, and key details. However, sticky notes don't always stay sticky and first graders are not always the most organized.

Having the ability to write directly on the page is incredibly important.

With a color printer, I have the ability to better assist my students. I will find a way to pay for the ink, if someone is willing to help purchase the printer for our class.
