My Students

My second grade students come from a huge range of cultural backgrounds, family history and experiences. They also travel to our school from all over our school district to participate in a gifted and talented program. Their similarities, however, far outweigh their differences: they are enthusiastic, perceptive and very motivated to participate in classroom activities. They are eager to learn something new every day, and it's so fun to watch them absorb new knowledge. And, most importantly of all, they are super fun!

My Project

“Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.” – George F. Kennan

We have just started on an extended “wax museum” history project: my students are researching a historical figure, dressing up to give a prepared speech about them, and making a poster.

It’s very exciting, and the students are really throwing themselves into the assignment. We are using a variety of different resources while we work on this project, and a major limitation is ensuring that the students have access to computers and the ability to print out their work. This is particularly true for making the posters.

Adding extra computers to our classroom will mitigate some of the pressure that the students are under. At the moment they work hard to finish their turns on the technology in a timely manner. Because we are a large Title 1 school, we can’t assume that all of our students have access to computers and printers at home, and try very hard to give them reliable opportunities to use them at school.

When this particular project is completed, the computers will be used to support every aspect of the curriculum – from using math game programs, to working on other long-form projects, book reports, design activities and more. Their entire curriculum can be enhanced by judicious use of technology. Moreover, comfort with using technology in general is increasingly becoming a crucial part of elementary learning – especially in light of the fact that assessments are increasingly conducted on computers. The students and I would be so grateful for any support with this project.
