My students come from a wide variety of places to call America home. They are English language learners from Bosnia, Bangladesh, Yemen, Pakistan, and Serbia. They are also American students, special education students, and overall, students with a drive to succeed. With the proper supports, they will be able to do so in their core curriculum. These students are hard workers whose families may lack the funds to provide our classroom with some of the essentials to allow for collaborative group learning.
As fifth-grade students, it is important for my students to rise to the occasion and succeed in their state testing, laying the foundation to help in their success as they prepare for middle school.
They are excited to learn and embrace the many opportunities presented to them in the American education system.
My Project
One of the direct impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is the fact that students are coming back to in person learning without the foundational skills needed to support 5th grade curriculum. On top of these academic needs, students also need support in understanding their social emotional needs. This leads to a perfect storm in which academic learning and social emotional learning need to come together to give students "What I Need" (WIN for short).
Please help my students to WIN in school, and help me to help give them "What I Need" in order to be successful in 5th grade.
I've selected materials to help keep us organized, give us time to strengthen our social emotional needs, and activities to help me to fill in the blanks from what they may have missed as they navigated life virtually last year.
