My Students

I am a Kindergarten teacher in a Title I building. My developmental classroom is a diverse population of students that speak English, Spanish and French. Most of the students are learning to adjust to an all day Kindergarten program. Academically, all of the students are working on reading, writing, and counting skills. The children love to learn especially through songs and movement.

We are a neighborhood school and often have generations of families who choose to be a part of our school family.

My Project

This year has been quite challenging for my students as we began the year with hybrid learning. The students were introduced to various forms of technology. Students have the opportunity to work on Chromebooks at home and at school. Google Meet is a platform that is used to communicate with students and families. The use of a document camera would allow me to present objects and text to my students as well as recording lessons in advance for home and school use.

Document cameras give students the ability to see an object or text clearly from anywhere in the classroom, which is important for comprehension and understanding.

Document cameras replace the need for costly handouts and help to save paper.
