I have nine students who are K-first graders. Our school is a specialty school designed to be a therapeutic whole experience for a range of disabilities. Academics is a strong focus in our setting, and our students work very hard on all four subjects each day.
These students are artists, singers, and dancers, and love to participate in gym, art, and science!
Our school is located in an urban setting within Chicago Public Schools. Eighty percent of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
My Project
Right now, the majority of my students do not have their materials/printer, and rely on online books for their reading materials. I would LOVE to give each of my students a distance learning packets from TPT that are individualized for their needs. In addition, I was going to purchase readers that have picture support
for them read along during our Zoom meetings, and have discussions in small class ""book clubs"".
I know my students will love this new addition to our distance learning Zoom meetings, and they will have individualized work of their own to read with their family. I also hope this will entice them to want to read more!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
