My Students
My students are creative, hilarious and endearingly hopeful children who love to learn. Their eager faces greet me everyday, ready to learn. They are English as a Second Language learners who do not hear the English language beyond the four walls of our school. Their parents do not have the English language skills to ask them questions about their learning or reinforce lessons learned in school. I am teaching Special Education in addition to my English as a Second Language population.
In order to truly differentiate my teaching and address all the needs of my students, I want to reach the wide range of interests.
My students are eager and curious children who enjoy learning. I teach at a Title One school, meaning that nearly all of my students live below the nation-wide poverty line. Beyond the classroom, my students rarely interact with English. These new resources would excite the students' naturally inquisitive minds and motivate them to explore topics beyond my explicit teachings.
My Project
In this modern age of digital learning, it is necessary to teach children the importance of being socially aware, thoughtful and caring. They need to have access to a variety of literary genres to spark their curiosity and keep them engaged and culturally connected. Scholastic Storyworks allow them to read articles on their reading level with videos, vocabulary and games to support their comprehension.
I had one prominent goal this year for my class; create an environment that allows students to enjoy learning.
Sadly, seeing them everyday might not continue for the next year. But that doesn't mean learning needs to stop! There are digital curricula available that mirrors what we do in class, but my students just don't have access to it.
During this challenging time, we can easily lose focus and self-control, but it's important to focus on things that we can control. I still want to prepare my students for the future as good readers, writers and spellers. Using a program that they're familiar with will help and also calm them. Too many new things can be overwhelming, but this is an old, reliable program they know.
More than half of students from low‑income households
