My Students

The students in our class are motivated learners that press forward despite their hardships. They'll eventually improve with routines that encourage them to make their thinking visible, to confidently share their knowledge or thoughts without reserve, and to develop inquiring minds that are actively engaged throughout lessons and activities. Each student is heard, holds a classroom job, and leads intellectual discussions, assignments, or experiments regularly. They rely on each other, and on a loving, supportive setting to become resilient and to achieve success. I encourage confidence and trust in one another through our class motto: "We can do hard things! Climb, though the rocks be rugged!"

Every student matters, every moment counts.

My class of 30 students, mostly from low-income households, will require rigorous interventions to function on grade level by the end of this school year because of trauma, disruptive life events, and many already lacking essential skills. My third-grade class has several special needs, ESL, and below-grade level students enrolled. They all desire a safe haven for learning and to feel supported. We each hope to keep pressing onward, enjoy our precious journey, and ultimately realize our climb.

My Project

I hope to meet all of my students' needs. Being prepared is key. Every classroom should be well equipped with first aid supplies. Emergencies aren't what we want, nor what we like to think about, but a teacher's priority is keeping the chaos from such events to a minimum and having systems in place to promote calmness if something should ever happen.

All students must feel safe, happy, and secure at school in order to thrive and learn.

I chose some food products to keep in our classroom emergency kit and for students' hunger pains. Children often arrive at school hungry. I always buy and keep a box of soda crackers handy because students complain of empty stomachs. I try to ration those out a couple at a time. Having a drawer full of snacks will give us more of what we need. Also, several students stay after school for interventions. They get hungry late in the day. Having enough food helps them stay focused and energized.

I would love to update my classroom's calm-down corner too. A basket of fun, new books and a blanket to wrap up in should do wonders. When all else fails, I think some games could lighten heavy moods. I chose motivational stickers and warm hats or gloves as rewards students can earn when they self-monitor and correct actions, or when students automatically work hard without needing correction. These are actually items that students want and need, so I'm sure they will be enthused about earning them.
