My Students

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela

We are a community of fourth graders, within the School District of Philadelphia, who are very eager to learn.

Our classroom consists of 32 students, a few of which receive special education services, as well as students who are struggling, English-speaking learners. Being an urban school setting, 100% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches which means many of my students do not have the resources or tools at home to help reinforce their learning.

Since implementing Reading Workshop into our Literacy block, the students have been increasing their reading stamina and growing as readers. Their passion for reading has been spreading like wildfire throughout our classroom, truly establishing a culture of reading. They come to school excited to learn and read, and look forward to Reading Workshop each day. The sadness when Reading Workshop is over for the day is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

My Project

Students have to see what others have gone through in order to gain empathy. The Amazon Echo will allow students in my classroom to learn about certain social injustices in our American History. This will give them another level of understanding by helping them answer questions while building tolerance through their understanding. With an Echo, students will have access to information when they come across something in our curriculum that inspires them to expand our knowledge with more information. The possibilities are endless and the benefits we would gain are limitless. An Amazon Echo will help us celebrate diversity and tolerance, as we learn about the world around us.
