My Students

I teach two classes that are a part of the Chinese Dual Language program at my school. These students have been learning Chinese since they were in 1st Grade and understand what it means to work hard, because they have to learn every subject in about half of the time of a regular education classroom. As I have taught them so far this year, I noticed major holes in their understanding of multiplication and subtraction. I was also surprised that about half of my students are reading below grade level. Usually these Chinese classes are above average in these areas, but missing so much of 3rd Grade had a profound effect and they are still struggling to catch up. My students are bright, inquisitive, and amaze me every day with their creativity and kindness. The desire to learn is part of their nature and performing well academically is a key element in their confidence in themselves.

My Project

In my classroom, we have limited time to work on basic skills, because DLI requires that they spend an equal amount of time in both classes.

The math activities that I chose are to help practice skills that students should have already learned or are learning this year, but they are tricky concepts to master.

The literacy items I have chosen are books that are in genres that we use for our book reports, comprehension practice, and an activity to help with vocabulary and spelling/phonics. Some of the books also pertain to our social studies curriculum.
