My Students

My students attend a Title I school in the heart of New York. They are special needs students and English language learners, which makes learning challenging. My students come from a variety of economic backgrounds, with all of them qualifying for free lunch. The school's population is very ethnically diverse as well. We serve a rising number of Hispanic and African students. Needless to say, students come to school with their own unique set of struggles and successes.

One thing the students have in common, though, is their love for school and learning.

I hope to create an environment at school and at home that meets their unique needs.

My Project

To keep kids learning these Unusual times calls for unusual measures. During this Coronavirus outbreak and shelter in policy, especially here in NYC, many of my students still find comfort and relief in going about their daily school routine online. But, some of my students still needs reliable devices to access their classes online. The kindle fire provides a inexpensive way to get reliable devices to my students. With the help of Google Play, they can install the apps needed to go to Google Classroom and Google meet, the programs used in NYC DOE. I know for me, it is a relief seeing my students, talking to them, teaching them, and in some cases, learning how to navigate this new platform from them. But I would like to see all my students.

I want to somehow have these devices delivered to their door and help them continue their education.

My students are strong, resilient and, very supportive of our new situation. They are the one giving me encouragements and positive messages keeping safe and healthy. We as adults could learn from calm cool heads of the thoughtful scholars.
