My Students

I am a middle school ELA and Social Studies teacher at a neighborhood K-8 elementary school located in southern north Philly. I work with 7th and 8th-grade students. As with most schools, my students are on multiple academic levels, and my job is to teach them new material while reminding them about past material that they learned.

My students are creative, kind, and funny.

They want to understand the material. The curriculum that we are using is hard for them to understand, and they cannot follow. I want to give them all the resources that they need to understand everything I need to teach. I want to give them the opportunity to expand their horizons in all areas of life.

My Project

These materials will help make a difference in my students' learning by creatively enhancing a different way of learning in the classroom by being hands-on and engaging. The Post-it charts will be used in the "parking lot" method which I use for interactive learning and for small group instruction. My students will collaborate and organize their thoughts onto the chart paper. The highlighters will serve as a tool for emphasizing specific details in a text or essay. The glue and poster boards will help my students' parents avoid expenses when we have projects that require those materials. The colored paper will engage my visual learners more and help organize their materials. We always need extra pencils around state exam time. The spiral notebooks are used for my students' morning journals. This is where my students reflect on the given topic and write their honest responses.
