My first graders are an amazing group of individuals with an enthusiastic desire to learn and grow. Many face challenges daily but overcome them with a strength unmatched by most.
Our school has provided tools and opportunities that promote academic success, motivation, problem-solving, independence, personal growth mindset, as well as fostering twenty-first century skills that will prepare our students for the future.
My students are from diverse cultural backgrounds and varying academic abilities. Our technology-rich environment allows for students to creatively show their learning outcomes using a variety of programs and applications. The area around our school is growing daily, with construction occurring in every direction you look. We have a large student population, which enhances our diverse classrooms.
My Project
Our students completed their kindergarten year from home with limited notice and resources. Their dedication and resilience during this time showed their desire for learning and educational success. Google Classroom, in conjunction with our online learning tools, will continue to be utilized to provide quality learning opportunities for our students. However, my learners would benefit greatly from me having a way to access distance learning programs, utilizing strategies that will be reinforced through online assignments.
This project will provide an interactive iPad which will allow me to be able to provide essential lessons that model and reinforce lessons in a visual manner.
The future of our school year is still uncertain, while there is a large possibility of distance learning being a component of our school year. In order to enhance my at-home classroom environment, it is very important that I have the resources to help them grasp the concepts and skills they need to succeed in the upcoming school year.
