Imagine having a group of students that tell you that your class is the best! My students love my class because it is a smaller class setting and all of the information that they are taught reaches them at their level. These students are not only engaged they also ask questions in class when they don’t understand something. They are so motivated to learn that they will even tell me to go back if I skip or miss a part of the lesson on a slide. Not only do they care about learning they also care about each other. They always help each other when they can, and often without even being asked to help.
Our school strives to engage all of the students.
Our building has a total of about 147 English Language Learners. Of those 147, seventeen are Newcomers (Beginners) that are all trying to learn English. Now because of covid-19 they all have to learn English remotely. Even though they cannot go to the building and see their teachers and classmates in person, they still keep a positive attitude in class! I am so blessed to have such amazing students to work with everyday!
How would you feel if you were in a new country trying to learn a new language and then all of a sudden you had to do it virtually? Our students are newcomers and they are struggling to learn online during this pandemic. Finding a program that is interactive, age appropriate, and engaging for the students has been a struggle. However, my colleague and I were able to find a program that the students can use, learn from, and they also enjoy it. We have been able to pilot the program for free for about a month. However, now that our month is over we have lost access to this valuable resource that was really helping the students begin to make significant gains in their English learning. This program is not only useful for virtual learning, it can also be used for hybrid learning because it can be displayed on the smartboard. Donating to this project would have a profoundly positive effect on many lives.
