My Students

Brave, Kind, compassionate and motivated are four words to describe my students. This is their first year ever being in school and they are facing hardships all around everyday, but seeing their smiles you would not know.

I teach the most compassionate students I have taught in 22 years of teaching.

The students are facing challenges every day with their environment, Covid, the economy and more. They live in a very low income area. Many of the parents stayed home last year and lost income. So this year financially is harder than ever. The students are given 3 full meals a day and sent food for the weekend. The students wear masks all day ( Inside and out ) and are tested weekly for Covid. Despite all these challenges they come to school each day so excited to learn, so excited to share and also a place to feel safe.

To give a simple example of my students.. We had Santa Zoom our class this year. These children have very little. However, when Santa asked them what they wanted , they asked for things for their siblings or parents. These are 5 and 6 year olds

My Project

This last month I was so fortunate to have my DonorsChoose project of five tablets funded and others gifted tablets to my class. My goal now if for each child to have their own tablet to use in class. They will use it for reading, intervention, creating and calming.

I am so excited to introduce my students to great programs on their tablets.

However, I worry about 5 and 6 year olds and dropping things. I am hoping to get child friendly cases that will help protect the tablets for years. So for each tablet we need a great case.
