My Students

Bright, energetic, and hard working, my students make me smile everyday. However, many face hardships outside the building that make it difficult for them to maintain a positive attitudes. Coming to class is often an escape from these hardships. We come together as a classroom community five days a week, where we work together to grow and see them flourish. I want to provide a space that works to provide an atmosphere of growth, comfort and mutual respect between teacher and students

My Project

The classroom basics that I have requested will help to ensure that students stay in class, and are able to use their time productively. We don’t have tissues and the other basics that students need in our classroom, so they tend to spend too much time leaving class to go to the office or another teachers classroom asking for tissues or asking other students for supplies like pens, pencils and highlighters. This then puts them at a disadvantage to completing the work needed to help them better themselves academically. With these supplies, it will keep my students in the classroom more and hopefully ensure that they are present for the lesson both mentally and physically.
