My Students

My amazing students come to school eager to learn and ready to do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can to be successful one day. As a teacher at a Title I school, my students are faced with several challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide an engaging student-centered classroom experience that encourages learning and keeps my students relaxed.

My Project

The pandemic that our World is facing has truly been something we have never had to deal with before. As a teacher, I am planning how I will change my classroom routines so that my students are able to get the most out of their learning. My district is putting requirements in place so that students and teachers can safely be back at school this coming fall.

My students are needing materials so that I can create individual centers for each of them.

Children need to be able to touch and manipulate things so that they can learn. Help me give my students what they need this year.
