My Students

Teaching in a school with low-income families is a daily challenge for my students both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, my students are always ready to learn and look forward to coming to my class.

My students are AWESOME, SMART, CREATIVE, and always willing to help one another which is a great quality to have in a classroom.

They love physical education, reading, math and love positive attention with some good laughs. Some of my students are being raised in single parent households. All my students receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. Some of there factors may prevent them from getting ahead early in life . The minute they walk in my classroom I focus on their potential and ability to growth. We cheer each other on as our classmates make progress and encourage those that need more help. As an educator I try to provide the best possible environment where they can feel safe, feel free to make mistakes, and best of all learn!!!

My Project

One area where we constantly struggle in the classroom is access to technology. Having 5th grade students requires us to use technology for many different reasons. One thing we would love to do more of is research projects. Having only two computers in the classroom and sharing two computer labs with 20 other teachers, projects like that are very limited.

Since most of my students come from low income families, most of them do not have the privilege of having a computer at home.

Having an extra Chromebook in our classroom will not only help us with research projects, but also with typing our essays and using our educational websites like Lexia, Khan Academy, and Read Works.
