My day is never a typical day. I teach students who are English language learners. The biggest challenge in my classroom is keeping my students engaged in learning.
Our school has over 16 different languages spoken, and 74% of the students are at risk of educational failure.
I work with students who have challenges with expressing their emotions appropriately. Students in my program do not learn through traditional teaching methods. Their materials need to be engaging and offer my students spatial awareness to stay on task.
My students are eager to learn. I just need materials to help them. I am asking for Lakeshore math centers like Making Ten Instant Learning Center, Counting Instant Learning Center, Unlock It Number Match and more for our math stations. My students face a variety of learning and behavioral challenges every day. They have diverse learning skills and needs. Having hands-on learning materials for my students to use when they are struggling to learn is essential.
