My Students Will Stay Focused, Each Student Will Have Headphones!

Help me give my students the opportunity to work independently without any distractions while using my Chromebooks with the use of headphones. Also, some non-fiction texts to boost our writing skills.

My Students

I teach 26 7-year-olds how to manage their emotions and navigate the day learning so many things each day. My students have a great love of learning. They love sharing what they learned with anyone who will listen. They like to gather as many details and share them with everyone. We have a symbol that students show often when they have connections to what we have read or what another student has described. My students are creative and also show their unique creativity through a variety of different methods we have tried.

My Project

By allowing every student to have headphones they will all have the opportunity to stay focused on their own work, and I will see an increase in their academic learning by meeting their goals in Lexia and iReady. Also, I chose Spot the emotions book to help students identify their emotions and validate their feeling and this will help their social-emotional skills. I have a lot of students who will benefit from learning about the big emotions they are feeling and ways to manage them. Students will also see a wider variety of non-fiction texts that will build their academic language skills. This will also broaden their writing skills when they are discussing these non-fiction texts and writing their thoughts. I also purchased Owl Diaries books to interest my high readers which will greatly impact them and I will see growth in all students in my class.
