Our school is full of eager learners! Our school is a Title I school with a high mobility rate. Our students love using technology to read and learn more, but many do not have technology at home. Many of our students come to us not knowing how to read and write. Our students have a strong desire to learn and want to do their best! Our students come from many diverse backgrounds and languages.
On average, about 50% of our school needs intervention help during the year to get caught up on skills they are lacking.
By the end of the school year, our hope and prayer is that we can decrease that number by half or more.
Our school is located in Glendale and you wouldn't think our students struggle as much as they do based on our location. Our students are full of joy and as teachers, we want the very best for them to support their learning. Our school won the A+ School of Excellence this past spring for the hard work our staff and students do each day!
My Project
Many of my students do not have technology at home so I want to create a "reading lab" where students can come explore reading at their fingertips!
Students will be able to access amazing programs like Imagine Learning, Read Theory, and Capit to help make reading more fun and hands on!
Students will be able to work on phonics skills, as well as increase their fluency by reading stories on their level while also working on much needed phonics skills. They can come during their lunch, stay after their scheduled small group time or get passes from their teacher to come to the reading lab.
Technology is the window into learning right now and it is critical that we get our students educated on using these kinds of tools while fostering their love for reading along the way.
