My Project
COVID-19 disrupted nearly every aspect of every person's life. For students moving from another country to live and learn in Hawai'i, the changes created additional roadblocks. Half of my Language Arts students are from other countries, and therefore face additional challenges in attaining their dreams.
High school students are just steps away from adulthood.
To be productive members of our community, they must cultivate their dreams, think critically, and create SMART action plans for success. Analyzing information and organizing their thoughts are essential to achieving their goals.
Reading promotes imagination and learning. Organization and planning set the foundation for accomplishment. The novels, bookcase, writing materials, and whiteboards help them to hone their English Language skills, plan and organize assignments, and remember schedules and guidelines. All of this helps my students to excel in their studies and as a result, boost their confidence.
As high school students with the English Language skills equivalent to native-speaking elementary students, many resources are too immature for them. Using word games helps to promote vocabulary and grammar skills, without insulting their intelligence. As they improve their language skills, the overall quality of their work also improves. This is just one way I can help them overcome the additional barriers of post-COVID learning.
Half of students from low‑income households
