My Students

My students are hard working and optimistic about the future. Our school strives to promote and cultivate a college-ready mindset in every student because only a quarter of my students report having a family member attend college.

If you ask my students what motivates them to succeed, they would talk about their family.

Despite facing many challenges, my students come to school ready to learn and be their best in order to make themselves, their family, and their community proud. Every day I am humbled that I get to be their teacher because they recognize the power of education.

My Project

I want to create vertical working stations for each small group in my classroom. Each group will have their own whiteboard to show their work and ideas. The whiteboard will be secured to the wall using the command hooks. The Expo markers will be attached to the board using the Velcro strips, and handouts can be attached with the binder clips.

Table space can be maximized by organizing their materials in vertical configurations.

For example, their whiteboard erasers, small whiteboards, and other supplies can be put in the large Ziploc bags and attached to the side of their desks using the Velcro strips. The sheet protectors are a lightweight, convenient, and clever way to create personal whiteboards for students. Each group will have an organized workspace that allows them to collaborate instead of clutter!
