My Students

My students attend a small school in West Virginia. We are a Title I school and are located in a low socioeconomic town. Our students walk through the door every day eager to learn and willing to embrace new experiences.

I want my students to feel empowered to become lifelong learners that can face any challenge that may come their way.

Many come from broken homes and the drug epidemic is high in our area, but our students are continually trying to rise above. They are filled with passion and hope. Our motto is to believe in ourselves, and with that belief, anything is possible.

Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Our staff and our students work hard to make that a reality.

My Project

This year I will be having my students start their day with Morning Bins. This gives them an opportunity to come in to the classroom and do hands-on learning before we get the day started. The materials in this project range from building materials to logic games.

The morning sets to tone for our day, and I want to make sure we start our day on a positive, educational note.

Students will be able to build and create when they first arrive, instead of doing busy work. This will allow them to think critically and creatively right from the start of our day.
