My Students

My students need extra support. Students at this school are hard working learners. They may come from homes that are struggling. More than three-fourths of them are on free or reduced-price lunch, but that doesn’t stop them from wanting an education. The students are multiracial, including 40% White, 31% Hispanic, 23% Black, 3% Asian, and 3% multi-race. This creates an environment of acceptance and tolerance for all. My challenge is to level the playing field so that students with fewer opportunities are able to compete academically with those who have more opportunities.

Creating learning experiences for these students is the best part of my job; the joy on their faces as they are discovering something new and integrating knowledge into their “personal toolkits” is priceless.

In my learning environment, I endeavor to set them up to win in an environment that is inviting and comfortable. Sometimes, that means school supplies, mending clothing, a band-aid or a kind word. I believe this will not only help the students focus, but will also produce a higher level of work from the student. Teaching these young learners is a privilege.

My Project

As a Media Specialist, it is my job to not only develop the love for reading, but also to supply the students with books that they will enjoy. I work in a Title-1 school and have over 750 students in my school with grade levels ranging from grade Pre-K to 6th grade. That is a lot of students with a lot of different personalities to please.

These books will be a great addition to our library.

Because of the sudden closing of our school due to the Covid pandemic, many of my books that have been checked out will likely not be returned to our school due to various reasons. These books would lesson the void in our library. Our students love to read, and I would love to be able to have new books for them to read when we return to school. Please help me do that for them.
