My Students

The students In my class face daily struggles other students will never understand. These students struggle to survive, find food, and stay out of trouble. They struggle with their academics, social, and/or behaviors. However, we must meet these student's needs and help them succeed in the classroom. At times, unconventional methods reach these students.

It’s easy for kids to fall in with the wrong crowd.

They don’t have the basic Social skills to understand the world around them. They think outside the box and are misunderstood. We need to meet these needs head on and let them learn at the way that is best for them.

My Project

My students have accommodations to read and write on a chromebook. They are not able to do this if they do not have the adequate materials. They are in a room together all trying to talk to the computers. With these headphones, the background noise won't be picked up as easily. My students are just learning how to use this online technology so the words they want to say can be expressed. It helps them learn about sentence and paragraph structures. How to make it all matter and feel success in his/her writing. They can feel smart and more accomplished.
