A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are 7th graders in North Carolina. We have a completely diverse population and range from extremely high ability levels to extremely low ability levels. A lot of my students come from single-parent families, and therefore they might not always get the support that they need at home.
My students come in every day, eager for fun activities to help them remain engaged in the learning process.
My Project
We were all thrown for a loop with having little notice on school closures. Due to this, we did not have time to prepare adequate lessons for student learning for the rest of the year. Starting this coming week, I am rolling out new content with my students, which will mean some will be left behind if I do not have the proper resources for them. I have really worked to make sure that the in-print packets are almost identical to online work. There are somethings that just cannot be done without Internet, so they have an alternate resource that day.
For my kids who speak and read Spanish this is a struggle for them, as they are new to the country and are desperately trying to catch up and learn English as well as expected to learn all content taught.
By having an account to Science A-Z, it will allow me to not only ensure that I can send work home or include differentiated work for my kids that need help, but that I can also send home assignments that are completely in Spanish. I do have some resources in Spanish from our textbook, however, the reading content in the book cannot be found anywhere in Spanish.
Thank you in advance to those that donate in providing this resource for my kids!
