My Students

I teach in a low income, urban school district just outside of downtown Indianapolis. Our charming elementary school is situated in a small neighborhood. Over 60% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. Many of my students face a number of challenges inside and outside of the classroom that include special needs, behavioral challenges, poverty, traumatic childhood experiences, single-parent households, and stressful home environments. My students are not limited or defined by their circumstances!

They are curious, motivated, and capable of doing great things.

Every year my goal is to create a positive and safe learning environment where every student can be successful, both academically and socially. I do my best to make learning meaningful and engaging to my students, and most of all, fun! We are a school family.

My Project

In our Kindergarten classroom, students sit at tables rather than desks. In the past, supplies were kept in the middle of the table and everybody at each table shared. Now that we are dealing with classroom changes due to COVID-19, keeping kids safe is our number one priority. Individual seat sacks on the back's of the classroom chairs will provide each student with a personal space to store their supplies. The seat sacks will be used to store supply boxes (crayons, pencil, eraser, dry erase marker, highlighter) and folders used for different subjects. This will allow students to quickly access the materials they need throughout the day but also help keep them apart from other children using them.

Students appreciate a well-organized and managed classroom space!

Having materials close by and easily accessible creates security for young learners and makes them feel safe in a new environment. It also teaches students to be responsible by practicing organizational skills and taking care of their belongings.

When it comes to organizing materials and having a system for accessing classroom materials, seat sacks are where it's at!
