My Students

My students come from a very high poverty environment. Many are from homes where education and literacy are not a high priority due to parents' work schedules or difficulties meeting the individual needs of their children.

In my classroom, I am not only teaching students literacy and writing skills but life skills, manners, honesty, compassion, patience, and cooperation.

For most, the primary love, positive feedback, and nourishment they will receive for the day will come from my classroom and the school.

My Project

Many educational websites such as Scholastic.com now provide students with the opportunity to listen and follow along as a narrator reads the articles to them.

Hearing the passage is extra beneficial for my students who are struggling readers, but students need a good set of headphones to listen without being distracted by others.

Other websites such as study.com, and Edpuzzle also provide students with the opportunity to watch lessons and respond to question. In addition, students personal electronic devices can be set up so that tests can be read to them. This is a lifesaver with ESL students.

Headphone are a must to make these programs successful.
