My Students

My classroom is a kind yet structured environment where students are eager to learn and know what's expected of them every day! My wish for my students is for them to develop a thirst for knowledge that will lead them to become self-efficient, motivated students.

I teach in a Title 1 School in Maspeth, Queens, New York.

Art supplies are low on the list of necessary supplies. However, creating art instills and motivates students to learn! My students come from many different backgrounds including Poland, Ireland and many countries in South America.They come to school motivated to learn and eager to please! Some come with brand new backpacks and supplies while others find it difficult to have all of their supplies on day one. However, all students arrive eager to learn new things!

My Project

I am requesting water colors, paint brushes and paint. I give my students vocabulary words for every month. We review the words and lightly color the words that we know. We go over all the words together. After the students are comfortable with the words, they write a story using as many words as possible. However, I'd love the students to also draw a picture using the vocabulary words and the water colors.

As stated in the previous entry, the students write a story using the month's vocabulary words.

I would also like the students to be able to draw a picture using water colors! This activity will further motivate them to have a knowledge of the monthly vocabulary words. Using water colors is so much more exciting than using crayons. The colors are much more vibrant and the children will really enjoy making their beautiful creations.
