My Students

Our students come from impoverished neighborhoods, the entire population are eligible for free lunch, and many lack basic “success” tools. What makes them so resilient is they come to school with the desire to get educated the best way they know how. Students who display positive behavior should be celebrated. I am in the process of creating a positive behavior room where students can play games, earn incentives, and hang out with other peers who display positive attributes. Classroom management has become an issue across the board for many educators, but giving kids an incentive to help adjust their behavior for a conducive environment.

My Project

These planners will be a huge impact for fifth graders matriculating into middle school in the fall. An organized student is one who is more apt to turn in work on time, show up to virtual class on time daily, is able to refer to notes quickly, and able to assist their peers who may struggle to identify the importance of having order. Elementary students move from having one classroom teacher up to seven in middle school. It can be overwhelming trying to keep up with dates for work submission, special events, and other deadlines. An organized student has a greater chance of receiving better grades than students who are not organized. As the saying goes, "Organization is key."
