My Students

My students are absolutely amazing in every way. Our class is complete with 25 enthusiastic, curious, and animated first graders from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our class is an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom meaning that a portion of our students have special needs. Our needs range from speech and language disorders to autism but none of the labels stop any of the students from trying their hardest and always exceeding expectations. These 25 students are dedicated and excelling in the classroom is the norm!

Our class of students are a unique, clever, determined, and persistent bunch with a range of interests and needs - making each and every lesson new and exciting!

My co-teacher and I take a very hands-on approach to education which allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

My Project

We currently have a couple of these white shelving units in our classroom and they have been a total game changer! We have some that we use to store materials and some that we even use as benches to sit on. Unfortunately, a couple of our current ones have broken and we need some more to put in other parts of the classroom.

The new white shelving units will be used to hold our clipboards, as a book shelf to hold our new nonfiction books and as a reading bench to sit on, and as a unit to hold our choice time materials.

These shelving units will make classroom materials accessible to all students as they will be on the floor or at their level. This allows for added responsibility and independence--two very important skills we are fostering in first grade! We hope that we are able to get these shelves in to start off the 2019-2020 school year stronger than ever.
