My Students

My school is very large and growing rapidly. This coming year we are expected to have 1900 students. The classrooms are full but a welcoming place to be. Students enjoy coming to school each day to learn new ideas.

My classroom is very diverse.

I have multiple level of students which include special education students, as well as English language learners. Although, there are multiple levels of students within my classroom, each student is given what they need in order to succeed.

My Project

The classroom is a noisy place with the multiple interactions that occur between the teacher and the students. My students also have the opportunity to interact with technology in order to enhance their reading skills.

Students all read at different levels and should be given the opportunity to work at their own level.

The online programs my students have access to have them working at independent levels to meet their specific needs. In order to best use these programs, headphones are needed. The headphones allow students to be able to listen to stories, directions, and work at independent levels while limiting the noise around.
