My Students

My students are kind, creative, diverse, and so excited to learn! In my classroom, we value social action and getting things done. We're also super funny and tell a lot of dad jokes. We're cool.

My students want to do something, not just believe in something.

My students feel that it is important to listen to the voice inside of them, which almost always leads to the pursuit of action.

My Project

These resources will allow me to support my students' social, emotional, and mental well-being.

Please help me reward all my hardworking students.

They are learning what it means to have a great work ethic. During the week, students receive Dojo points. On Friday, they get to collect! Students will get to collect squishy toys for relaxation, mechanical pencils, and pens they can use in class. These things will specifically support the social, emotional, and the mental-being of my students.

I've also chosen items that will allow me to better facilitate small group work and the unique and individual needs of my students while aligning with academic content standards. I've requested stools, posters, name tags, and tape to create a conducive small group space that students will utilize daily. As well as the materials students need to participate in small group work within that space, like books (RL.5.2), markers, and colored pencils. Students have spent two years without these materials during distance learning. The items I've selected will help my students through more than a year of pandemic learning. The materials I am requesting align with Nevada Academic Content Standards.
