My Students

Our First grade classroom is home to a group of 32 diverse students who come from all different backgrounds, abilities and interests. Our students attend a Title I school. Most of the students come from families of low socioeconomic status, with over 70% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in our state and there are approximately 30 languages spoken within the community.

My co-teacher and I are all about meeting the unique needs of each of our students.

Each morning consists of morning meeting where we establish a positive classroom community. Our students are actively engaged in their learning throughout the day during small group work, project based learning and hands- on activities. Our students are amazing and they deserve the best!

My Project

Our students need take home book baggies that are durable enough to bring plenty of books back and forth to school each day. Parents and students love sharing classroom books at home and these baggies will make it easy for them to do that all year long.

Your donation will help increase student attention and focus, which ultimately increases their academic achievement.

The flexible seating products I have chosen allow for comfortable floor seating during independent work time. This seating will provide an opportunity for my students to choose where they would like to complete their independent work, either at their desks or throughout various areas in the classroom. They can be extremely beneficial for students who just need to get their wiggles out! The kinetic sensory sand and the squish and squeeze sensory beads are great tools that naturally inspire tactile exploration. My students can use these sensory items throughout the day, when they need a break and during purposeful play. I am so excited, and I can’t wait until my students are provided with new items to use in our classroom!
