My Students

Wow! Where do I begin, I haven't seen my students physically since March 2020. It has been so abnormal for my students and I to not see each other and to not be given the proper sendoff for the summer. My students are within a low income area where everyone receives free lunch. Our school consist of majority African American students.

Our students deserves the best education either if it's virtual or in-person.

I don't know what this upcoming school year will look like but I'm willing it takes for my students. I want the best for them and I want to learn as much as I can to help them along the way!

My Project

These materials will help the students become better learners and students. This will help me stay organized and also open up creative ideas. I am starting a new grade this year and want to have materials that my students will love and enjoy whether it's virtual or in-person. I want my students to be able to look at the pocket charts for reading a calendar or just simply looking at the schedule of the day. I want my students to own their classroom and make it part of their home as well.
