My Students

I teach in a 4th grade bilingual ICT class. Some of my students are English Language Learners(ELLs) and some have special education programs. Most of my students are from non-English speaking low-income families. All my students are truly an incredible group who are enthusiastic and excited to learn each and every day, and I am so lucky to have them in my class!

My Project

The laminator, hole puncher, file boxes, binders, and binder pockets are great tools to protect students' works, records of their progress, etc. Also, students will learn to use the tools to organize their own things.

The dictionaries with vivid illustrations and examples will help students better comprehend and apply the new words during independent reading or writing.

Especially for our English Language Learners, an at-hand dictionary will be a great reference for them.

The stress balls are a good means for students to cool down when some of them have big feelings.
