My Students

My incredible students in lower Manhattan come from all five boroughs, from various cultural identities, and from various economic backgrounds. Nearly half of my students quality for free/reduced-price lunch, one quarter of my students have IEPS, and one tenth of my students are ELL.

I believe that students learn best when provided with an authentic learning experience that enables them to construct their own meaning, author their own inquiry, and develop critical thinking skills.

Students must build their researcher identity.

My Project

These jump ropes will provide physical movement and exercise when we have breaks. My students are stuck inside the classroom staring at their screens. Physical distance prohibits them from taking part in gym class.

Together, albeit physically safe, the students will have the opportunity to jump until their hearts desire as they exercise with each other.

When the Spring comes, the ropes will also become safe distance markers when the students will learn in the park. The jump ropes will provide joy in the hybrid learning structure during the pandemic.
