My Students
My students are hardworking and eager to learn! During the first few weeks of school, we learned the word "persevere" and ever since my crew has persevered even when the learning got really tough! Kindergarten is completely different than what they were accustomed to in Pre-K, they entered the classroom shocked to see a room void of dramatic play and nap mats!
After getting over the initial shock of "what was missing," my students quickly adapted to the new routines and procedures and settled in as Kindergartners.
While they often reminisce on their old classrooms they are chugging along on the Kinder train working on becoming readers and writers and critical thinkers each day. We learned to become active listeners and to engage our peers in conversation by not only listening to what they have to share but adding on by agreeing, disagreeing, or building upon what was said.
Each day is an adventure with this bunch and I am so proud of their progress!
My Project
My students go to workstations or centers once during our literacy and math blocks. One of the stations is the technology center where they are able to work on Lexia-a computer program that helps them work on literacy skills, and iReady-a computer program that helps them work on math skills.
We are currently using outdated laptops therefore they turn off with no notice and students are not allowed the entire time to work as they wait for the laptop to restart.
Earlier in December I created my first donors choose project requesting the same Chromebooks on this project and in the interim I reverted to allowing my students to use my personal laptop so that so many would not fall behind in their usage as well as it is one of the favorite centers to work!
Each Friday we celebrate, not because it is my favorite day of the week or because we get to share our weekend plans with the class, but because we celebrate growth! Lexia provides certificates when students progress through each level of the program. This has become one of their favorite parts of Friday and during the week they share their progress after leaving the center. The VP visited one day and was impressed they knew the level they were working on! We work hard each day and your contribution will help my students get closer to their end of year goals and some will surpass them!
More than half of students from low‑income households
