My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

Many of my students come from low income families, who are struggling financially, and start the year off with limited to no school supplies. Pencils, papers, and art supplies would help those families who cannot afford to purchase their children these supplies.

The school supplies will be readily available to all students who need them, at the beginning of the school and throughout the entire year.

This will help take the pressure off of families and keep my students from feeling upset or embarrassed. Thank you for your support in making our year successful and our classroom a positive environment.
