My Students

My students are a group of low income students who thrive on doing their best in school. Kindergarten is their first year in school and an important step into their education career. I want to create an environment for them where they can collaborate and learn and grow from one another.

My students are eager learners with a lot of different personalities.

They come to school ready for new tasks and challenges. They love to talk and make new friends. Flexible seating allows them to make new friends everyday. They love learning and enjoy doing group work activities as much as they can.

My Project

As we enter the new school year for full in person learning, I want to make sure that I can still keep my students safe when distance is not an option. The plastic bins will be used to keep each individual students supplies safe so that we do not have to worry about cubbies. Students will be able to store all their materials in the bins and it can be sprayed and wiped down for germ free cleaning at the end of the day.

Plastic bins are great for organization and the Plus Plus buckets will be divided between all the students so that each student will be able to have their own set in their bins for brain breaks.

Plus Plus are great additions for students to be creative and build things since it will difficult to have the students play with classroom toys without worrying about contact with other kids.
