My Students
I work in a diverse and exciting school and represent 4 classes - 1 ICT class, 1 General Education class, and 2 Gifted and Talented classes. Many of our students are striving readers, writers, and mathematicians who are below grade level and working hard to foster a love of learning. We are working hard to foster this love by giving students multiple opportunities to learn and get excited to read, write, and learn about the world around them.
Our students are creative, inquisitive, and hardworking.
Whether they are working independently, in partnerships, small groups, or with the entire class, our students love overcoming challenges together.
My Project
Scholastic News Magazines will be used in a variety of ways in our classroom. The videos that accompany the magazine will be used to hook and build background knowledge for the students before they start reading. Students will have opportunities to read the articles as a class, in small groups, and independently. During this time we will work on students' literacy skills by focusing on key vocabulary words found in the text. To build reading comprehension, students will participate in close reading activities, in addition to developing their writing skills by writing about the topics we are learning about.
In our new digital learning world, we are going to work with both blended, and fully remote, students at the same time.
These resources will help all students in an equitable way during distance learning.
We will also use Teachers Pay Teachers resources to help connect with our blended students and supply our students with digital resources.
