My Students

My students come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Some might have more, and some might have less. However, this does not change their love for learning. They are all eager to learn.

There should not be limitations to students' learning.

Students have different learning styles. Our school serves all students, and we do our best to meet the needs of students. We promote joyful learners. It is very important to provide access to our students with different learning styles and needs, especially at the early stage of learning.

My Project

I will use the "All About Letters" pocket chart to teach students each alphabet and letter sounds. Students will learn letter formations and letter sounds in a whole group setting. Afterwards, students will work in a small group with different activities to deepen their understanding of each letter and how to make words with the letters.

There are different activities at each small group.

Students will use the magnetic whiteboards to build new words, some will use the fishing poles to pick up letters for letter recognition, some will practice writing the letters in a sandbox, and some will use the letter stamps to make notes and spell.
