My Students

My students are faced with many challenges in and out of school. My students are so full of life and are eager to learn everyday. My students love to be actively engaged in their learning. It helps them learn each and everyday.

I work in a Title I school in North Carolina where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch everyday.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

The stability cushion and bouncy bands for our desk and chairs to help us remain focused! These will make such a huge difference in our classroom by allowing students to wiggle while they work! As third graders sometimes it gets difficult to remain seated during instruction time for so long, especially during test! These stability cushions and bouncy bands will allow us to remain focused and working to the best of our ability while getting all of those little wiggles our that sometimes hold us from either finishing our work or completing the the best of our ability. These will make a huge, long-term impact on our classroom.
