My Students

My school is an economically disadvantage urban public school with over 80% of the students qualified for free or reduced school lunch. The school population is about 770 students for kindergarten through fifth grade. It consists of three programs: General education program and Chinese bilingual program. I am National Board Certified since 2009, and I have successfully renewed my certification in 2018. I have been teaching the first-grade Chinese bilingual program for 30 years. Most of my students are new immigrants with parents speaking little or no English at home. For my students, they have the disadvantage of not being read to in their early years. They also do not receive much help with homework with their parents due to the language barrier. However, these parents want the best for their children, and they put all their hopes and dreams in guiding their children as the leaders of tomorrow in my hands! Not only do I teach all the first grade standardized curriculum mandated by my district, but I also maintain the students' first language by teaching Chinese language instruction daily.

My Project

There are so many basic necessities that children need to thrive for Distance Learning. I spent so much time preparing work packets, notebooks, folders so that my first graders can practice their fine motor skills. Children at this age cannot do everything online. They need to hold a pencil and write; pick up some crayons to color, and get excited about school when seeing all these supplies in their bag! Students also need to be able to read with their classroom teacher. A document camera is a basic necessity to share a text with my children.
