My Students

My school is an economically disadvantage urban public school with over 80% of the students qualified for free or reduced school lunch. The school population is about 770 students for kindergarten through fifth grade. It consists of three programs: General education program and Chinese bilingual program. I am National Board Certified since 2009, and I have successfully renewed my certification in 2018. I have been teaching the first-grade Chinese bilingual program for 30 years. Most of my students are new immigrants with parents speaking little or no English at home. For my students, they have the disadvantage of not being read to in their early years. They also do not receive much help with homework with their parents due to the language barrier. However, these parents want the best for their children, and they put all their hopes and dreams in guiding their children as the leaders of tomorrow in my hands! Not only do I teach all the first grade standardized curriculum mandated by my district, but I also maintain the students' first language by teaching Chinese language instruction daily.

My Project

I miss my First Graders! In order for teachers to go back to teach students at the school site, we all need protection. These clear plastic sneeze guard shields for students' desks can help students to protect themselves and to others when they sneeze and cough. These shields are clear so students can see my teaching instructions clearly at their seats. Children will also be able to see their friends and have live interaction. The big shield is for teacher's desk so that when students come up to ask questions, I can feel safe as well.
