Holly Wight
teacher
My students are the definition of high needs. In our school, 25% of our students are homeless and 90% receive free/reduced lunch. My students come from a variety of backgrounds. Some have grown up in the same traditionally African-American neighborhood as their grandparents, and haven't ventured much further than our city limits. Others are first or second generation, Spanish speaking, immigrants to our country. With our wide cultural range, we spend much of our time learning about each other and the characters we read in our texts. There's so much to share and learn just among ourselves.

My name is Chantel and this year I have the pleasure of teaching our English Language Learners in a small setting! I am very excited and look forward to the many adventures I will encounter with them. I love my students and I get super excited when they learn, as I know that each day they learn they become more and more successful! Many of my kiddos do not like to read and I have found that many of what they read in class can come off "boring " for them. It is my goal to push literacy in a fun and exciting way to help motivate them to grow. I know that with the support of great community members, like you, our students will not only be successful but will enjoy the journey as well. Thank you!

That drives me to nurture them as critical thinkers who connect science lessons to anything and everything outside the classroom so that they continue to be good stewards and problem solvers.
