My Students
My students are curious, imaginative, and creative kids who come into the learning platform everyday with endless energy and limitless questions. They just want to learn and have fun with their new community whether it is in the physical or virtual classroom setting.
My school is populated with approximately 230 children, many who receive free or reduced lunch.
My Chinese immersion classroom has a mixture of one-third non-English speakers, one third bilingual students, and one-third non Chinese speakers. 60% of them are on free and reduced lunch. Due to the budget cuts throughout the years, our classroom resources are only available when purchased by ourselves and at a time like this, more so with this pandemic. I believe that to be an effective teacher, I need to invest in my job and provide the necessities to make myself an effective teacher, as well as make learning fun and engaging for my students.
My Project
Learning off a screen can be daunting for any one of us but most especially for 5-6 year-olds. The manipulatives will change all that! Once the materials are received, I will be personally delivering the goodies to each one of them.
The children will be getting erasable white board paddles, which will give them the opportunity to draw, write, show and tell, right on the screen.
The playdough will be used to build letters, words and Chinese characters. The dice and Bingo game boards will be distributed to allow us to play these games over zoom online. The workbooks will be used to teach over zoom but completed at home with some pencil to paper activities. I will bring all these tools to each of the students and we will have so much fun learning at home!!
In addition to these learning tools. I am asking for some essentials to prepare the children to return to the classroom when the pandemic is over. With wipes, masks, gloves, thermometers and hand sanitizers, we will be ready when the world is ready to go back to the norm.
More than half of students from low‑income households
