My Students

Our school is located in a poverty stricken neighborhood. Most of my students are raised by single parents that don’t work and or elderly grandparents that have limited income. Several of them were displaced due to hurricane Harvey.

Most of my students do not have school uniforms.

They wear clothes that appear to have been passed down which often times are too big and their shoes are worn out. Some times they come to school with their hair not combed and it doesn’t appear that they have bathed or brushed their teeth. There are times that some of my kids sleep in class in the morning.

My kids seem eager to learn in-spite of the circumstances that are out of their control. They walk into their classroom where they are greeted with a warm smile, print rich environment and a secure place. They can predict how their day will flow due to our repetitious daily schedule. My concern is that we are extremely limited in our resources.

My Project

As we move into the second half of school, it is important that my students learn how to read and write. They all need pencils and tablets in order for them to write. Our theme for t he next month is "Nature " and recycling. We will be working on projects and recording the outcome in our journals daily. My students are eager to work on their science projects which will include how recyclable items can be used in various ways. Thanks for you continued support. I will share photos of my student's work as they work with high expectations.
