My Students

My school is located in a low income area in Delaware. I am in 5th grade co-taught classroom. A lot of my children come from single parent families or are being raised by a grandparent. Most family members are not at home when the children are home because they are working hard to earn money for the family. The children come in to school wanting to share their stories and be heard. As a teacher I spend a lot of time trying to listen to the children and give them the love and attention that they so desire.

We begin and end each day with a classroom meeting.

This is the time where the children can share their stories and be heard. We bond as a class and work hard to accept each other and our differences.

The children in our class are loving and funny. We have a great time together learning. They have taught me a lot along the way too.

My Project

These materials will be a huge help in my classroom. I have a lot of children that can not afford to buy supplies. If I can have notebooks, binders, pencils, and tissues on hand this will help the parents feel less stressed in spending money for these supplies.

Most of my children in my classroom this year have one notebook for all of their subjects.

They usually run out of space and they have a really hard time keeping their subjects separated. If I had some extra notebooks on hand this would help the children stay more organized.

We are a Leader In Me school! We use binders to keep track of all of our work, tests, and accomplishments. Some children do not have the money to purchase a binder.

Being a classroom teacher it is always nice to have extra pencils and tissues on hand.

These supplies would alleviate stress and help the children be more organized.
