My Students

My students are so incredibly passionate. In my classroom English is a second language for every student. These kids have dived into an SEI classroom with a desire to learn not only the curriculum but English as well. When students go to doctors appointments, instead of going home they insist on coming to school. Students are disappointed when they don't have a worksheet to do at home because "how are we supposed to learn?" At the beginning of this school year I had students who could not recognize their own name, and now just a month into school and they are attempting to write sentences.

My Project

Having never picked up a pencil before entering my classroom, most of my students have never experienced the joy of creating. With these supplies I would be able to encourage not only creativity but independence in their work. My students need to be able to expand their thinking beyond mathematics, English, and more English. My goal is to incorporate the use of art throughout lessons in writing, math, and reading. Through the use of literature my students will be able to create meaningful pieces of art that will allow them to make real solid connections to the stories we are reading in class.
