My Students

Brightly colored murals, beautiful garb, fresh fruits ​and vegetables at the corner market, and the smell of delicious Indian food coming from the nearby kitchen; this is the environment my students live in.

We have a beautiful neighborhood that embodies the Indian culture.

Unfortunately, my school is in a low-income neighborhood. My students, who are a diverse mix of cultures, attend a school that strives to give them an excellent education. Many of them are first-generation Americans and are excited to begin school.

My Project

Creating a safe environment is something that I take very serious as a teacher. It is important for me to know that my kiddos feel like they are in a classroom and school where they can feel comfortable, safe and able to take risks when learning.

Promoting kindness is important for students to practice and see being modeled throughout the school, always.

A fun way to promote this would for the students to think of different sayings or words that would look great on a button! The kiddos could make their own buttons that promote kindness! Sayings like "you rock" and "be awesome" are just some ideas! The students would have a ball working together to create these buttons that we can possibly sell and raise money for charities! Promoting kindness never looked so good!
