My Students

I am a first year teacher at a Title 1 school in an urban setting. The majority of my students come from low-income families and may not have the financial abilities to provide their child with everything they need to be successful.

All children no matter where they come from deserve a quality education.

My goal is to provide them with the tools they need to be successful. My students have dreams and goals and I want to help them reach their full potential.

My Project

Students do a lot of writing and will need pencils and erasers to complete various assignments. Students will also use highlighters to identify important information in various reading passages to help with comprehension. Students will use dry erase markers to complete math assignments.

Students learn material differently, the item I have chosen will help students find the best tools to help them succeed.

The items will also help them stay organized and feel accomplishment as they grow in their educational journey. My students have various abilities and talents and it is my job to make sure I am providing them with the very best. All the items will be used by my students to help them reach their full potential this school year.
