Middle school can be tough. Socially, emotionally, and academically, there can be lots of challenges for students in the early teen years. My students are learning English and adapting to a new culture while navigating these difficult years, and this creates an extra layer of challenge.
My English Language Learner students are resilient, resourceful, and caring young teens.
These students have been through a great deal beyond their control in their short lives, but they use multiple talents and strengths to overcome current obstacles. We share hands-on experiences as a springboard for launching into a new language. Investigating STEM topics, history, and the arts in our language arts classroom allows my older new readers to develop key reading and writing skills with age-appropriate materials.
My Project
I am requesting three ASUS Chromebooks to add to our classroom collection of computers. We use computers every day in our class. Students write in Google Classroom and read websites to learn about the topics we explore. We create presentations to share our learning with others.
Chromebooks are speedy and efficient and we would like to have enough in our classroom for each student to use one whenever they are needed.
These three Chromebooks will help us meet this goal and will help us continue to integrate technology into learning in our classroom.
Please help us prepare for high school and for life!
