My Students
Many of my students come from a wide variety of places to call America home. Most are English language learners from Bangladesh and Yemen. Most are also American special education students who are well below their level. All students have a drive to succeed and with the proper supports, will be able to do so in their core curriculum. These students are hard workers whose families lack the funds to provide our classroom with some of these essentials to allow for collaborative group learning.
As fourth grade students, it is important for them to succeed in their state testing, preparing them for fifth grade and beyond.
My kiddos are so excited to learn new things embrace the many opportunities presented to them in the American education system.
My Project
As a 4th grade teacher, my students often come to my class lacking knowledge of their basic math skills. In 4th grade, students are expected to learn many new math skills. Since a majority of my students are ELL {English Language Learners} they are lacking with the basic skills they need to know as a 4th graders.
Power Pens put the power in the hands of students.
These pens and cards help students to practice those basic math skills during independent work time. When my students know their basic math skills, we get to dig a little deeper and not worry so much about those basic skills. It's a WIN-WIN for everyone!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
