My Students

I teach kindergarten in a diverse urban setting in the Philadelphia School District. I have 30 learners in my classroom, many of which do not come to school with supplies they need to be successful due to living in a high poverty area. My students come to school eager to learn and I am happy to greet them everyday and instill a love of learning.

In my school 100 percent of the students are eligible for free lunch.

Many of my students in my classroom have not been exposed to education previous to entering my classroom.

As a kindergarten classroom many of my students have never been in school. In order to maximize social skills, as well as academic skills, my students sit at tables to support cooperative group learning. As a result of this seating the students do not have space to store their materials for easy access.

By providing my students with chair pockets to store their materials they will be able to quickly and easily access their learning materials and writing tools to participate in our daily activities.

My Project

Many of my students have never been to a pre-k setting and therefore my classroom is their first experience at school. In order to maximize their social skills , my students sit at tables to support cooperative group learning. As a result of this seating the students do not have space to store their materials for easy access.

By providing my students with chair pockets to store their materials they will be able to quickly and easily access their learning materials and writing tools to participate in daily activities.

This project will have an immediate positive impact for my students by increasing their time spent in their cooperative learning groups with their materials.
