My Students

I have the ultimate pleasure of working with smart, enthusiastic and hardworking first graders at a Title 1 NYC public school. Our school services a beautifully diverse group of children who come to school ready to try new things in order to grow both personally and academically.

We believe that our students learn best when the class adapts according to the needs of all its students.

I am looking forward to a school year filled with problem solving, learning and growth. I have no doubt that our group of young and insightful students will achieve wonderful things this year.

My Project

My students are bright, enthusiast learners. Over the past two years my students have been learning in a variety of settings. Now that we are back in school together it is clear that some foundational skills are missing. Being that we are a new school, my classroom lacks a variety of fun and targeted literacy centers.

The literacy centers in my project will support my students in learning the skills they need to succeed in first grade, and beyond.

These centers, along with some centers I get from TeachersPayTeachers, and the dividers to give them space to do so will allow my students to have fun and learn at the same time.
