My Students

Our school population is 50% low income and a fourth of the students are English Learners (EL). I work with English Language Learners in the 4th grade. My students come from the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, central and south America, and Asia to name a few.

My students want to learn and I am there to help them so they can succeed in their classrooms.

They are very proud of their cultures and we need to celebrate their culture and languages.

My Project

Our students in our school will be coming to school 2 days a week and working from home the rest. I will be working virtually with the students one to two days a week.

The students need supplies at home to participate in the lessons.

The notebooks will be used to reflect on what they've learned in the class each day. The pockets will store any items they may need in each lesson. The white boards are to participate in class. They will write or draw their answer to a question and show me on the screen.
