Middle school is tough! Everyone remembers the social awkwardness and growing academic expectations during these few years.
My students, in addition to the growing pains of middle school, are also navigating a new language and culture.
My students are English Language Learners from around the world, with seven different languages and over twelve different countries represented in our classes. They face their challenges with enthusiasm, curiosity and hard-work. They are eager to learn and share their stories. As a class, we focus on projects that promote critical thinking and student voice, doing projects from classroom recipes, visiting local farms and creating our own bilingual poetry. COVID-19 has added additional hurdles, but we're still working as hard as ever to build classroom community despite the challenges of virtual learning.
My Project
Over the year, our students have gotten comfortable with remote learning. We have adapted and gotten through many hurdles together. Now, however, we face another daunting task: coming back to the classroom.
While there are benefits to in-person learning, I want to keep students and families as safe and secure as possible so they can be engaged with their learning.
Learning in person will only be beneficial if students, staff and families are kept safe. Hand sanitizer and masks will be essential to making sure our classrooms are ready for students. In addition, having these items will reduce the anxiety for many of our students who are scared to be back in person again.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
