I teach at a small school in Northern Utah. Many of the students that I serve are English Language Learners and many come from families where both parents work. We provide free breakfast for our students each day and do our best to take care of their physical and emotional needs as we meet their academic needs.
My students are a bright, energetic, hard working group of Kindergartners who are ready to learn.
These students come to school each day with positive attitudes and excitement about what the day holds. They are patient with the unusual distancing and mask requirements at school and don't let that stop them from being happy at school.
My Project
After last year's school closure, I learned the importance of beginning to teach students how to use technology and digital resources early on. One of my goals this year as I teach my Kindergarten students foundational number, literacy and social emotional skills, is to also teach them the foundations of digital literacy.
We are fortunate to have a Chromebook for every student in my classroom right now, but my students need headphones to enable them to work on differentiated tasks without distractions.
I plan to provide daily opportunities for them to spend time exploring and learning through self-paced, differentiated activities based on individual student needs. Doing this will help my students learn in engaging and student centered ways along with building a foundation for digital skills they will use throughout their lives.
More than half of students from low‑income households
