My Students

My first graders are kind, hard working, and curious! They love to create and use their imagination when learning, and they come to school each day eager and ready to learn! They truly are sponges in all that they take in on a daily basis.

My main focus this year was to build a safe, responsible, and respectful classroom community since they are coming in from a hybrid schedule last year.

Our district did a hybrid format where the students came everyday but for only half of the day, so we had half the kids in the morning and half the kids in the afternoon. I knew it would be challenging to get the kids used to a larger class and in school full time, so the classroom community was crucial.

Our school is located in an agricultural community in Northern Nevada and made up of a wide variety of demographics.

Each child in my classroom has different strengths and different needs. I try to differentiate to meet each students' unique learning needs by incorporating a variety of learning strategies, collaboration, and alternative seating to ensure that each student's needs are met. They are awesome!

My Project

The Covid pandemic has put a number of challenges on my students and myself, and the items I have requested will fulfill so many needs in my classroom and in the lives of my students.

Our Chromebooks are and have been a very essential part of learning during the pandemic.

The charging carts will allow me to organize the students' Chromebooks and charge them all together. This will allow them to be ready to use at any given time and having a specific location for them will teach the students some independence. The students will be responsible for getting their Chromebooks for assignments and putting them back when they are finished. This frees me up to work with students instead of handing out and putting back Chromebooks several times a day. The students use their Chromebooks for reading, math, and writing and will be proficient in their use should we ever get quarantined and have to work from home. (several ELA, Math, and writing standards are affected)

The remaining items will help with the day to day running of the class, reading groups, and a planting project in the fall. The face coverings and Dixie cups will be available to students that forget or lose their masks or water bottles - our fountains are not in use. The 9 oz plastic cups will be used to plant small plants in for our plant unit in the spring. The plastic files are used to protect the reading group books that go home each night, and the set of Minnie and Moo books will used in guided reading groups.

I would appreciate you funding my project to take some of the burden off of teaching during the pandemic. Thank you so much for considering my
