My Students

This year my district is starting the school year off with distance learning! I teach at a low-income urban school and most of my students are performing below grade-level. Despite this, I am up for the challenge of this new platform and so far we are all thriving!

My students are doing very well with virtual learning, they're trying very hard to learn to navigate the digital world!

They love being competitive at the end of each lesson - they're also great at utilizing teamwork and positive talk when participating in class!

Regardless of the challenges, my class is full of smiles and laughs! Now we just need some supplies to keep them having fun while they learn!

My Project

We are doing virtual learning for the remainder of the school year, which is great, but they changed our schedule a few months into the year and we now have only half an hour for lunch.

My students often complain they don't have enough time to make food and eat it so they end up eating nothing during their lunch breaks which causes them to then hungry for the remainder of our class time.

I'm hoping with these snack packs they'll be able to have a snack or two each day during our lunchtime to hold them over until the end of the day. They are in fifth grade so I am a bit limited in food options since they can't cook. These snacks are favorites among kids, even if they aren't the most healthy!

I also have a pair of gloves included. I asked my class if anyone needs any supplies for winter and one said they need gloves.
