My Students
My students are creative, hilarious, and endearingly hopeful children who love to learn. Their eager faces greet me every day, ready to learn. They are English as a Second Language learners who do not hear the English language beyond our school. Their parents do not have the language skills to ask them questions about their learning or reinforce lessons learned in school. I am teaching Special Education in addition to my English as a Second Language population. In order to truly differentiate my teaching and address all the needs of my students, I want to reach the wide range of interests. My students are eager and curious children who enjoy learning. I teach at a Title 1 school, meaning that nearly all of my students live below the nation-wide poverty line. Beyond the classroom, my students rarely interact with English. These new resources would excite the students' naturally inquisitive minds and motivate them to explore topics beyond my explicit teachings.
My Project
My students are such amazingly curious people. They generate such thoughtful wondering that truly extend beyond the lesson. Unfortunately, within the time constraints of a content lesson, there rarely exists time to pursue students' line of questioning.
A website like BrainPOP Jr provides a safe internet space for students to explore and answer questions, while still challenging them intellectually through games and fun quizzes.
I want to create a space where students have access to information they inquire about and can continue to push their thinking about that subject independently.
The investigative process is important for students in order to develop their scientific inquiry skills early. Students are unique learners and they deserve time to explore their curiosities. I want to provide opportunities that foster inquisitive minds and thereby creativity in my classroom; through this project, this will be possible for all learners.
More than half of students from low‑income households
