My Project

I work with many students coming from environments of lower socioeconomic status, and limited prior knowledge and accessibility to resources. Families in our community typically struggle to make ends meet. More than seventy-five percent of our students receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch daily, which is calculated based on income.

Along with students of a lower socioeconomic environment, I also work regularly with students with increased academic and social needs.

These students can be on specialized plans that are set to meet their academic needs. Visual and hands-on materials as well as a flexible classroom space can assist in academic improvement and in forming connections. I try to encourage the students in nontraditional ways to encourage discussion, plus the building of vocabulary and topics they have limited knowledge of.

For this project, my students will have a chance to learn about the environment around them through the use of stories, news reports, and articles. Along with this, the students can have their own copy they can later take home and share with others. This project also allows me access to videos and additional learning resources that can aid in giving students a fully rounded and rich learning experience each time we use a new magazine from these Scholastic subscriptions.
