My Students

"Get ready to learn!" is what I always tell my 5th-grade students every day as a reminder of what they are here for. I start the day with song and dance and have my students pumped up and excited about the day ahead in Mrs. B.'s reading class. I strongly believe in motivation and engagement.

Because of language barriers, not all share the love for reading and writing in English, but I would say that the more they practice, the lesser the challenge-once they are motivated and engaged in the process.

My school has a high number of students who are English Language Learners, and there are a few who are part of special education and gifted program. Ever since Hurricane Irma devastated our community, my students now face the greater challenge of finding the supplies and accessing the resources they need, in order to succeed, as their families experience even worse financial hardship than before.

My Project

Our fifth-grade reading students have just begun writing assignments, utilizing figurative speech. Many have composed beautiful stories and poetry, but they are written mostly by hand in their journals.

Not only does seeing their stories in print, enhance the presentation of their written work, but learning to type saves time, allowing their dictation to keep up with the speed of their thoughts, "typing does improve visual motor integration as the eyes guide the hands," explains Yoder.

Being able to print out the stories and poems they have created would not only boost their self-esteem and pride in their work, but they would be able to print what they have completed.

We can also publish and post physical copies of the students' best works.
