This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach at a Title I school. Most of my students qualify for free lunch and do not have the money for even the basic supplies.
Due to covid-19, the majority of our students are not currently on gradelevel.
My students still strive to achieve success every day. I try to give them every advantage that I can to ensure their success.
My Project
Students are provided differentiated instruction based on what sound features they need support with in order to spell words correctly. Students participate in word study activities every day, so I want to make it as an interactive and fun as I can for them.
I want to use the pop-it fidget bracelets to allow students to push the sounds they hear in a word.
Students need to be able to identify the number of sounds in a word in order to figure out how many letters are in the word. Being able to identify the number of sounds in a word also helps students when they are trying to sound out a word.
I want to use the word building activity to provide students a fun way to practice spelling their words. The students would be given a set of letters and a board to build their words on. Students would spell a word given by the teacher based on what sounds they have been learning that week. This will allow the teacher to understand if students have mastered the spelling feature before moving on to the next one.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide my students with interactive ways to improve their spelling knowledge, which also helps improve their reading and writing skills.
