My Students
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr. Seuss.
I want my students to be able to read at their grade level so that they can access information just as their general ed peers have.
My school is a cornerstone of a rural community with a high poverty rate. Our school staff strives to provide the students with a positive, safe, and nurturing environment where they can grow academically and as individuals. My students are those who require specialized instruction in order to experience success. They face hurdles that cannot be comprehended by the majority. They have an incredible amount of potential, but must first be given the resources to overcome the disabilities that block their access to that potential. The most common learning hurdle that I have seen with my student involves the many facets that contribute to reading well. While I have a nice, well-decorated room to include a reading rug that I purchased, I don't have any books at all. Resource room teachers are not given any books, leaving me to buy all the materials needed to succeed.
My Project
How can students keep their learning in one set place? Simple: using an easel to chart our ideas on paper. The easel will provide an area where students can chart ideas and can refer back to them when they need support while working independently or in a small group. Also, we need materials such as dry erase markers when we want to quickly write our thoughts on dry erase boards. Lastly, we need computer software to keep our learning interactive while our 21st century skills. We have used materials we have received from Donors choose, but need these items to keep our learning alive through easy accessibility and interactive format.
