My Students

I have an awesome students. There are 56 of them in all. They are the best kids on the planet. We could use more I Pads in our classroom to maximize our classroom instruction time and give more kids the opportunity to be working at the same time. Maximizing time is the key.

I teach the Chinese Immersion Classes in 2nd grade.

My Chinese partner and I work hard to provide a balanced education while providing a rigorous Chinese and English academic program in a fun and supportive environment. Chinese Immersion gives children preparation, and cognitive development they need to succeed. The benefits are not only academic; students are also part of a diverse and multi-lingual community which provides them with the opportunity to see the world through new lenses and to gain a better understanding of themselves and the world around them. Children learn and grow at a tremendous rate at their young age. It is a privilege to be a part of this amazing program.

My Project

In the Chinese Immersion program, I have two classes for half day each. It is difficult to teach the language arts core and some math in such a small amount of time. So it is imperative to find creative ways to help students practice and master required core concepts with less class time available. Because of the immersions rigorous fast paced schedule, it has been vital to provide activities and lessons that will maximize their learning in class. I have had much success using I Pads for math fluency time. The kids log onto a website to do a demanding math fluency lesson every day. It is difficult to get all 28 students on 10 I Pads every day. My focus is to try and maximize this process by obtaining more I Pads so more kids can be working at the same time. This is independent. Teaching kids to work independently is important to their success in later years. In order to make this successful, the students need more I Pads.

There are a lot of ways to empower children into learning and engagement.

I've witnessed much success and motivation when some kind of technology is used. It’s a technology world. I am confident that if I can give the students quality time together all engaged in learning literacy and math based concepts on I Pads, they will love school. I Pads are an extremely powerful tool. Research shows that technology grabs students’ attention and students are willing to work harder and stay focused.
