Middle school can be tough. Socially, emotionally, and academically, there can be lots of challenges for students in the early teen years. My students are learning English and adapting to a new culture while navigating these difficult years, and this creates an extra layer of challenge.
My English Language Learner students are resilient, resourceful and caring young teens.
Many of my students this year are recently arrived refugees from Africa and the Middle East. They tackle problems cheerfully and with gusto, but they also experience significant adjustment challenges. These students have been through a great deal beyond their control in their short lives, but they use multiple talents and strengths to overcome current obstacles.
My Project
This attractive sign will serve two purposes. First, it will advertise progress towards learning goals in a splashy way that will draw the attention of students. Second, it will brighten up an otherwise dim and gloomy location.
This brightly lit sign will be hung in the hallway outside our classroom to show the world what we can do and to keep us aware of next steps in our learning journeys.
The ceiling tile hooks will be used to hang anchor charts, student work, and word lists inside our classroom. The two Bone books will fill gaps in our collection.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
