My Students

My name is Valbona Mazaj and I teach in the School District of Philadelphia. I have been teaching sixth grade for many years and I love every moment of it. My students are curious, fun to be around, and compassionate.

Whether at school or at home we try hard to Be Responsible, Be Prepared, and Be Respectful.

While we are teaching online and students are learning from home, I want us to all be successful on this journey.

My Project

Students will use these materials (binders and dividers) for school resources and keep them organized. The binders are big enough to include all the subjects. The students will use the dividers to separate each subject such as Reading, Writing, Math, Social Studies, Science, etc.

Organization is needed to homeschool.

They will have one binder for all their learning resources. These materials will also be used when we return to school. In middle school, they change classes for different subjects. Having the materials all in one binder is really helpful for them.
