My Students

My students are of all unique in their own way. They are all from different ethnicities and backgrounds. Many have different needs for learning and require multiple tools to succeed. Tools such as visuals and charts. They all have the opportunity to learn Spanish through their Middle School years. Seeing them grow academically each year is a pleasure and a reward.

They are enthusiastic and look forward to coming to Spanish several times a week.

They are committed to succeed and achieve their academic goals.

My Project

Many students need creative and engaging tools to learn and succeed. Many times students receive copies of material but it looks boring because they are in black and white. I want to grab my students' attention. I want to help my students create an interactive notebook so they can study and review their notes in a fun and engaging way.

Students seem to be interested in interactive notebooks, color copies and different activities that include cutting, gluing and coloring.

That requires a lot of copies and quick access to a printer or copy machine. At times color copies will help with color code or differentiation to understand certain topics of grammar in Spanish.
