My Students
My students are amazing sponges. They have such a great capacity for learning. I teach students at an English-Chinese dual language school on the boundary of Chinatown in New York City. Our school is located in an area adjacent to public housing developments and old tenement buildings that have housed generations of new immigrants.
We incorporate songs and movement into our daily routine so that my students can learn language organically.
Non-native Chinese and non-native English speaking parents are always amazed by how quickly their children pick up the new languages. Just one month into the new school year and their children are able to pronounce English and Chinese words. The walls of our school are filled with writing samples in both English and Chinese.
My Project
This has been a very different year of learning for my kindergarten students. Instead of sharing a room with 25 students where I can walk around and peer over their shoulders and make suggestions, I am sharing my screen and showing them how to write and calculate through various illustrations. I have been using a Wacom digital tablet to do this work, but it is very old and it is starting to have issues. It would be very helpful if I can get a new one because it has been essential to my remote teaching. I use it to demonstrate writings in both English and Chinese in every class. Thank you!
