My Students

In any given year, over 150 9th grade students walk through my doorway hoping to learn something from me. These students come to me with differing personal and academic struggles, and I strive to help them grow and flourish as students and individuals.

This August, new students will walk through my door seeking advice, comfort, direction, support, compassion, and so much more.

They will come from many different walks of life and academic experiences and hold numerous opinions different from those around them.

My Project

A few years ago, my students helped me write a Donors Choose grant to purchase fun alternative seating options for my classroom. With the money, we bought two bean bag chairs, two exercise balls, and a cover for an old couch. My students have enjoyed having the opportunity to sit in unconventional seats as they learned about literature and writing so much that the bean bags have lost their fluff! We need to make them comfy again to encourage the student's to think more about literature and less about finding the right position.

Not only do students need to be comfortable in order to succeed, they need to build their vocabulary in order to succeed.

I am hoping to purchase some book displays to showcase more books rather than have them on the shelves traditionally--with the spines out (those tend to stay on the shelves). The more books my students read, the stronger their vocabulary will become.

I am also hoping to purchase some motivational posters to encourage students to read more and try harder. My students need encouragement from every direction of my classroom, and these posters will add to the verbal encouragement I provide in the classroom.
