My Students

My eager little learners come from a variety of family backgrounds with a host of needs needed for their overall growth and development. We are a class that celebrates each other and explores the world through math, science, reading, writing, and everyday life. Our school is a Title One school and sits across the street from two major homeless shelters, where many of our students stay with their families until they are able to find more permanent housing. The area of the school is in a low income neighborhood, however, my students come with a vibrant spirit and hopeful hearts for their future.

My Project

With these items, I will be able to more effectively offer the learning and support that my students need, while at the same time guaranteeing a place of wonder and excitement in the classroom setting. My students will be able to use these school supplies not only in the classroom, but at home where many of them do not have these basic materials.

Learning is a continual journey, and as the teacher I consider it a great responsibility to train my students how to become lifelong learners.

Having access to these materials and resources, would help me to be able to provide my students with a more effective and joyous process of learning in first grade. What we do for our students now, sets them up for their future and, thus, the future of our world.
