Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am the proud teacher of an amazing group of 3rd graders in a community school in Harlem, where more than three-quarters of students come from low-income households. My students are hard workers, enthusiastic and eager to become stronger readers and mathematicians.
My biggest challenge is that the majority of my students are significantly behind academically.
Over 70% are starting the school year reading below grade level; 40% are considered English Language Learners, and too many have not mastered second grade math learning standards.
I am committed to helping them reach their full potential! With your support I can meet my goal of 80% of my students making a year and a half growth in reading and reaching proficiency levels in this year's math and reading state exams.
My Project
My goal for this academic school year is to move 80% of my student's reading level 1 to 1.5 academic years. In doing so, students will have a greater chance at succeeding academically as they will be able to work with grade level text and expand their critical thinking skills. To accomplish my goal I am implementing two online reading programs.
Unfortunately, we don't have enough classroom computers to use online based programs.
The first program, RazKids, is a "research-proven kids' reading program that takes students on a digital journey to become better readers." The second, Accelerated Reader, is a reading motivational program in which students choose their own independent reading books and take short reading comprehension quizzes online. In addition, students have the opportunity to use a math program, DreamBox, which focuses on improving critical thinking skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
