My Students

One of the best parts about my teaching job is the crazy joy, enthusiasm, and chaos that my students bring to the classroom each day. They come from incredibly diverse homes, and they bring that diversity to the classroom. The best part is that our students are all open to diversity, and they love to learn and share with others. They share willingly anything they have, and they are incredibly open to discussions about their differences and similarities.

My students are very curious about the world around them, but many do not have the financial resources to have access to anything but the basics.

Many of my students are the first generation of children going to school in America. Many other children are in homes where finances are a challenge. Because of that, our teaching staff works hard to find creative solutions to keep students moving forward.

Your support allows me to meet the needs of my students, and in some cases, indulge the kids in knowing that they are loved, supported, and valued. Having creative materials allows the kids to learn about themselves and how they learn, creating small advocates for learning along the way!

My Project

How do you teach a language when you are not able to be present with your students? How do you give them enough listening practice so they can hear the sounds and put the words in the correct order in their brains? We are about to find out!

While we are out of school for COVID-19 reasons, I want my students to continue to learn French using BOOM Cards as their learning tool.

Boom cards are online interactive cards that allow students to do a variety of things with their French skills. Some of these sets focus on hearing certain sound combinations, some focus on parts of speech, others focus on reading for fluency. All of them are highly engaging and make the kids feel like they are playing a video game, not reviewing their learning.

I want my students to continue to be highly engaged and safe while we are away from school. But I also want them to develop some new skills while we are learning from home. This project will provide the resources to make that possible.
