My Students

My classroom is full of amazing and unique students who are catching up on missed educational time every single day. Due to a variety of physical, mental, and educational differences, each of my students learn in different ways, so providing them with a variety of resources and learning skills and tools is my number one priority in the classroom.

My current students were affected by Covid-19 at a vital educational and social-emotional time period for them.

They missed out on the opportunity for in-person preschool, when the majority of young children learn how to interact with their peers in a socially typical manner. They also missed the developmental milestones during these formative years, including letter and number identification and formation.

That is why it is so important now that I can provide each student with math and literacy resources to support students who have been struggling to catch up for years at this point. They also need tools to learn how to interact with other students and adults, experiences that they have been unable to have up until now. Any small-group targeted resources are my number one goal to help these students acclimate to a typical school year and environment.

My Project

The materials in this project will be used in individual and small-group settings to provide additional support for all of my students. Each of these students learns in unique ways so giving them a variety of learning tools ensures that each students' needs will be met.

Every student deserves a chance to catch up and keep up.

These students need personal time and practice, which these materials will help with. My plan to do this involves one-on-one teaching with students who need extra time and guidance in their education, as well as specific tier-two instruction provided to all who need it.

The writing boards will provide students with personal literacy and writing practice all on their laps, without needing to go through pages and pages of worksheets. The power pens with literacy and math cards provide a great review for students, with self-pacing provided through each pen and positive reinforcement delivered. The sight word, writing, phonemic awareness, and phonics cards and centers allow for small group guided plans, and I intend to use them to support struggling students with reteach and practice opportunities. The sound phones help students to hear themselves as they talk and read, helping them to practice pronunciation and articulation. Finally, the social-emotional matching cards allow for the students who missed out on important social skills due to Covid-19 to practice how to respond to situations they may face in school.

Overall, these materials will mostly be used in small group and one-on-one settings with students who can use these resources to support their learning. I will also be using them to help reteach difficult subjects, especially for students who missed out on a solid foundation of their academic and social-emotional learning during the pandemic.
