Hi everyone! I am a high school history and civics teacher teaching all recent immigrant and refugee students from more than thirty countries around the world.
Our community was very hard hit during COVID and as we return to school, most of my students will be entering the building for the first time in more than 18 months -- in light of this, I am completely re-organizing and re-thinking my classroom this year. I created a "calm corner" to center our Social Emotional Learning work, we now have a social justice library for my students, and I also want to help be thoughtful and intentional about teaching my students how to organize their learning this year. To do this last component I would like binders for each student. We will use these to organize their notes and materials, and also intentionally talk about how we build organization strategies to carry into college and careers. Many of my students were and are essential workers during the pandemic and I don't want there to be an economic barrier for some students being able to afford binders and some not.
In a year that I know will be difficult and challenging for my students, my hope is that these binders will be a small but important way to help create structures and supports for their learning as they return to school.
