My Students

My students are a unique group. They live in different cities all across the state of Utah. You see, I teach 3rd grade online.

A lot of the students I teach have come to our school looking for a place that has a strong educational foundation, but that is different from traditional school.

They come for various reasons, including COVID-19. A lot of my students have suffered hardships and need a break from traditional schools. I am here to help them meet their educational goals and support them in any way that I can.

My Project

I teach 4 reading groups each day online. It is often difficult to do book groups and discussions with chapter books on the students level, because they don't have access to the book. I don't want students to lose out on an important part of school because they are at home because of Covid-19 or other reasons. I am going to use the books and mailers to deliver books to students to read at home, and discuss in our reading group. I am excited to be able to have meaningful discussions with them about some amazing books!

When teaching online it is important to grab students attention.

I will use a Brain Pop Jr. Account to help get students interested in topics and present it in a second way than just my teaching. The resources it offers will be a great help in my online lessons.
