I have an awesome second-grade class in Bloomington, Minnesota. It is a very diverse school. My school is classified as a high-poverty school, with many students on the free or reduced-price lunch program. My students are made up of a wide variety of abilities, interests, and challenges.
They are all at different academic levels and have an array of talents.
My students come in daily with a positive attitude and are ready and willing to learn. From learning support students to English language learners, I am here to teach them all, and give them the best education. Our school is a community working together to create a positive, academic, and social experience for all learners to soar.
My Project
A microphone for our iPads brings out personality when you're seven! It gives confidence and a voice to those who do not display these things easily, on a daily basis.
These iPad microphones will allow students to tell the stories they have created and block out the other children's voices in the room so their parents hear only their child.
This will help their parents hear only their child and NOT what their child's neighbor is talking about. Not only will this tool help parents it will also help students to create and retell stories meeting second grade standards. Students will be able to create, illustrate, and record their story on our iPads and with this speaker will complete the publishing and sharing as a culmination.
