My Students

Teaching in a high-needs, Title I school, my students are often faced with challenges outside of the classroom. They are often unable to access technology outside of school hours for various reasons, including both socioeconomic status and stressful family situations.

My goal is to do my part in closing the achievement gap within my own district by providing students with opportunities to be fully exposed to and excited about all of their academic content.

I also aim to help them see the relevance to them!

We also have an increasing ELL population, so I have students who are great academically in their first language but having expected challenges in our content in English. I try to provide them with resources and materials in their first language where appropriate, and in tandem with the English materials.

Most of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch due to their families' socioeconomic status. This means their stresses outside of the classroom are regarding more basic needs. This puts them at a disadvantage in their early lives, to their peers competing for college admissions and eventually jobs down the road.

They are hardworking, motivated, and engaged in any content I present!

My Project

This resource is a 2021 upgrade to the old-fashioned reading log system to keep track of daily reading at home! It holds students accountable to make sure they are meeting their goals and growing their reading, even during this difficult time of distance learning.

Unfortunately, many free online book platforms merely ask students true/false questions to assess their understanding--but this program actually has them cite evidence from their text which is exactly the skills 4th graders need to improve their reading comprehension!

The program also allows teachers to give meaningful feedback within the site so that students can work on their writing as they respond to questions as well. This is extremely beneficial as it encourages students to improve, and gives specific paths to do so.
