Help me give my students an Epson Document Camera so they can watch exactly how I write, and resources from Teachers Pay Teachers to guide their learning.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
As a school on "The Hill", our children come from all different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. We are one of the few dual language schools in the district, but also one of the highest needs schools. My students are enthusiastic, excited, curious, and come to school everyday ready to take chances.
As children of the 21st century, they are fearless when it comes to technology and learning new things.
It is our job, as their teachers, to prepare them academically, socially, and now technologically, for the ever-evolving world.
My Project
I want my students to receive a meaningful virtual experience during these unprecedented times. Using the Epson Document Camera, will allow me to show students how to form letters and numbers while incorporating useful Teachers Pay Teachers resources I've downloaded.
In Kindergarten, students are continuing to learn the foundations of writing and literacy.
When they can see exactly how I am holding my pencil, forming my letters, and moving from left to right, they begin to mimic what the teacher does and eventually gain the confidence to do it themselves.
I plan to download various TpT resources, such a virtual expectations and norms to share with the families, digital math and letter games, and differentiated activities to help educate my students on varying levels. TpT has wonderful materials from a variety of educators, which lightens the load from everything else that is required of teachers.
