My Students

I am a 1st grade teacher at PS 109 Glenwood Academy. My school serves children in the community of south Flatbush Brooklyn NY. My students are bright, bubbly and energetic with the most beautiful personalities. Year to year I am have been fortunate to have students who enter my classroom ambitious and eager to acquire knowledge. Their eagerness and enthusiasm to learn,make my passion for teaching more fulfilling

Unfortunately, my school is a Title I school which means that the majority of my students fall far below the poverty line.

Many of my students reside in the local shelters. Although their parents/guardians try to meet the needs of their family especially their children, they are unable to successfully meet their needs.

My administrators work hard in trying to help parents and teachers obtain much needed resources, however there is still a deficit that needs to be fulfilled.

My Project

Many of my students are from a shelter with parents that are unable to help them develop and improve their literacy skills. These resources will be a great asset to my classroom as it will allow students to develop their literacy skills independently.

Due to the frequent movement of students from temporary housing to temporary housing, many of them enter my class at different times in the school year, with many deficiencies, especially in phonics.

By having those resources, I will be able to work with these students in small groups and reinforce the phonetic skills they are lacking. My students will enjoy these resources.
