My Students

Middle school is tough! Everyone remembers the social awkwardness and growing academic expectations during these few years.

My students, in addition to the growing pains of middle school, are also navigating a new language and culture.

My students are English Language Learners from around the world, with seven different languages and over twelve different countries represented in our classes. They face their challenges with enthusiasm, curiosity and hard-work. They are eager to learn and share their stories. As a class, we focus on projects that promote critical thinking and student voice, doing projects from classroom recipes, visiting local farms and creating our own bilingual poetry. COVID-19 has added additional hurdles, but we're still working as hard as ever to build classroom community despite the challenges of virtual learning.

My Project

It would be wonderful for my students and I to have access to an iPad. Currently, I'm reaching classes remotely with our school issued laptop. It's very difficult for our school computer to run Zoom smoothly while also using other programs to enhance student learning. I would be able to add the iPad to my virtual learning toolkit.

When we are able to return to the classroom an iPad would be a major help for conducting small group lessons and promoting hands-on language learning.

We would be able to use it for recording our spoken word poetry projects, creating art for our presentations, and giving and receiving meaningful feedback. While it seems small, an iPad would make a tremendous difference in the virtual learning lives of both my students and I.
