My students love to come to school, where for some of them it's the only place they feel safe and loved. I love teaching them and they are not without their challenges. So many of them have lived a life I could never imagine. Their eagerness and enthusiasm to learn makes me strive to find a variety of programs and materials to enhance the curriculum so they can enjoy learning so much more. My students come with a variety of skill levels since some this is their first experience with school and they lack the basic foundation to move forward with their education.
My Project
The Learning Alive Studio will provide my students with an interactive way of learning letters, numbers, and reading skills. The curriculum's twenty-six alphabet cards spring to life in 3D through augmented reality. Each card features an animal that corresponds the letter, and seem intelligent as they respond to the questions and sentences that the students build. Even reluctant learners enthusiastically respond to the animals, sounds and interactive learning. Letters Alive builds students' phonemic awareness and phonics skills. There are vocabulary cards to strengthen comprehension and reinforce concepts of print through sentence-building exercises. Math Alive builds students' number sense, computational skills, understanding of data and probability, pattern and shape recognition, measurement skills, and introduces them to concepts of money and time. The materials will also provide a fun way to provide interventions or enrichment to all learners.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
