My Students

My class is group of students who are driven to become leaders in their community. They come to school with a fire in their bellies to learn. My diverse class means that I have many different learning styles in my room. My school is located in an area where not all of my student leaders have the means to enhance their learning at home. They are very driven to want to do well and learn new things.

One of the my goals is to give my students a safe environment to learn in.

I want my students to be able to come to school worry-free and confident that their learning space is a safe space.

I want to be able to give the scholars the experience that they deserve to have. I want to create an environment that is nurturing, engaging, and most importantly, safe!

My Project

Every year I try to make my classroom a learning environment that is warm and inviting for all my students. I have had to get creative over the years and usually have to stick to my own budget. This year I have a vision and would like to step it up a bit. These materials will give my classroom that extra little pizazz that will help kick off a great school year. I will be using all the decorations to make my classroom warm and inviting. Each student will be able to use the book baggies to store their books. I am requesting items such as the LED letters to add a little warmth to my classroom library. I am also in need of updating some standards classroom items, such as my bulletin boards and my calendar. First impressions are everything, I want my students to have the wow factor and want to give them a space that they want to come to every day.
