My Students

I am a teacher in a high immigrant populated school where my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

Despite the challenges they may face, poverty, single parent households, non English speakers, These students are eager to learn and gain insightful experiences.

We are a diverse group that puts education first.

My Project

My students need privacy partitions when testing and doing some independent work. We are seated in groups on a regular basis and are engaged with each other and myself for most of our day. It gets tricky when we need to show our independent work and we are used to turning and talking.

My students are a great group of kids who are always eager to work together.

They work really hard at all times. It is a true pleasure teaching such a wonderful group of youngsters. These privacy partitions would be a huge asset to our classroom. They would help the children concentrate and show their amazing independent work!

We also need the stand so we have a place for the dividers to go to and to make our room neat and attractive. This would be so helpful!
