My Students
There is so much that I can say about my students, that I don't quite now where to begin. As residents of the city of Pontiac, Michigan, my students have gone through many life challenges that no one their age should go through. Seeing loved ones killed in front of them, having to stay up late or even miss school to take care of younger siblings are just a couple of things they go through, day to day. In spite of their home environments, my student are not only dedicated to the success of their future, but are committed to making sure all the peers succeed.
In my class we are a family, and my students do very well with making sure everyone feels welcome.
I get emotional thinking about our classroom environment, knowing that it is not common for middle schools in urban/poverty stricken areas, to be so peaceful. I am truly blessed to have all of my students get along and look out for each other. My class is self contained and several of my students have IEP's and one is autistic. However, the pleasant environment my students created lets everyone feel comfortable and secure to be themselves.
My Project
It is the goal of our class to have everyone at grade level in math and reading. The headphones will help with their independent computer work. Right now, we don't have headphones for the students and with them all being on Chromebooks at the same time, it gets to be a little loud and distracting. The wireless headphones will help our Cognitive Impaired students when using our class I pad to work on their assignments.
Students will utilize Study Island and Compass Learning, that gives them assignments at their level academically, while going to higher levels after successfully completing each assignment.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
