My Students

Picture this: a classroom of twenty five-year-olds staring at you, eager to soak up any information being taught! They are excited and energetic despite the fact that many of them come from families with very little. I want my students to have the best resources in front of them all the time!

My students are from a high poverty area of DC.

Teachers are dedicated to ensuring students have the best of what's available and students are excited to learn and grow. Everyday I walk into school, I am greeted by the best-smiling five-year-olds around. It is my job to make sure I am doing everything I can to set them up for successful school careers that lead to the amazing lives that they want and deserve.

My Project

We have quite a few florescent lights in our classroom. This lighting is very harsh. The light covers will filter the light to make the classroom a calmer and more welcoming environment.

The students in my class also need more seating choices!

The bean bag chairs will provide them with more options and choice to help them focus on their learning.

The last piece of our project is a listening center organizer. Currently, the students don't have a good way to store the listening center, so it is difficult to use. If they had an organizer, they would be able to access the books and headphones more easily to get more out of their learning time!
