My Students
My students are inspirational! They come from many backgrounds and face many challenges such as homelessness, poverty and abuse. Many are English Language Learners.
These amazing students show up with their challenges and try hard each day to do their best to learn the skills needed to be successful in school and life.
They have many different needs when it comes to the learning environment and have varied learning styles.
We work hard as a learning community to provide many different opportunities to meet each childs learning style.
My Project
Flexible seating options such as the bouncy balls, stability wobble cushions, and bouncy bands will allow students to choose a seating option that best fits their individual learning style. Students with a need to move will benefit from the choices given as they will be able to "fidget" while still learning.
Learning styles are as individual as the students we teach.
The manipulatives and hands on activities for math, reading and writing will allow choice and flexibility for each learner. For example, students will be able to choose to write a narrative piece using the Build a Story flip book and the Sequence and Write story tiles or choose to write and opinion piece with the Make Your Point opinion writing center. Self checking activities such as Match & Sort Language Quickies will provide hands on learning opportunities to practice skills at their own pace. Pick-A-Problem Math Warm-Ups will provide the class the opportunity to share and discuss a daily math question. Students can demonstrate their understanding by using the Magnetic Math Manipulatives Library.
More than half of students from low‑income households
