My students have limited access to technology and English exposition at home. Many of my students are just learning English, which placed them in disadvantage in contrast with well-funded schools. Therefore, my goal is to provide my students the necessary tools to help them continue develop their academic goals. I have students with IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) which still don’t know the alphabet, others struggle recognizing it. Some are reading at a level A and others are emergent readers.
At the beginning of the day we meet in the meeting area to do morning routine. After that we do readers workshop, writers and math workshop in which I model the strategy that I want them to learn and put it in practice during independent practice. While they do independent work I confer with a small group. Every other day I teach ESL science and ESL social studies. At the end of the day I use the I-Pad to review sight words, the words and letters of the week.
