My Students

My students are absolutely amazing in every way. Our class is complete with 25 enthusiastic, curious, and animated first graders from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our class is an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom meaning that a portion of our students have special needs. Our needs range from speech and language disorders to autism but none of the labels stop any of the students from trying their hardest and always exceeding expectations. These 25 students are dedicated and excelling in the classroom is the norm!

Our class of students are a unique, clever, determined, and persistent bunch with a range of interests and needs - making each and every lesson new and exciting!

My co-teacher and I take a very hands-on approach to education which allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

My Project

We are in desperate need of some ways to organize all of our papers next year. This year, our classroom just has a bin for paper/folder/homework collections and it takes more work than needed! Next year, with classroom mailboxes, we will be able to teach our students independence by teaching them how to take care of their own papers and folders. We will learn how to go through folders and take out what needs to be handed in, how to distribute papers into the mailboxes and how to take responsibility of personal materials. With a color paper organizer students will have the freedom to make choices on what paper they would like to use. The mesh paper organizer will be used for our writing center. We will have writing paper choices organized (3 lines, 5 lines, 7 lines) so students can make personal choices on how many lines they need based on individual goals. On the top there will be erasers, pens and post-its that they can use whenever needed.

These various paper-related materials will help us stay organized, gain independence and thrive in the classroom!
