My Students

Each day, second graders depend on me to teach them how to read, write, and develop critical thinking skills that will be the foundation of their education. These students come from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Their families qualify for free lunch and often do not have the means to provide quality literature, basic school supplies, and other educational tools at home. So, I feel it is my role to provide them with rich learning experiences on a day-to-day basis.

Due to their backgrounds and limitations in resources at home, my students often enter elementary school significantly behind their more affluent peers but all of them are eager to learn.

My Project

My students are returning to school in just a few short weeks and we cannot be more excited! While my school has provided some disposable masks, these are not the most attractive to students and cannot be reused.

This project is for the materials to make personalized masks for each student in second grade!

Students will receive a reusable, washable mask with their own name on it. This project will cover the materials- a cotton mask for each student and enough heat transfer vinyl to personalize each one. I will do the labor of printing and heat pressing these masks so that each student has their very own that they will be more likely to keep track of and take care. Most of all, students will learn that safety can be cool!
