My Students

Bright colored murals, beautiful garbs, fresh fruits and vegetables at the corner market and the smell of delicious Indian food coming from the nearby kitchen; this is the environment my students live in. Parkchester is a beautiful neighborhood that embodies the Indian culture. Unfortunately, my school is in a low income neighborhood. Many of my students, a diverse mix of cultures too, attend a school that strives to give these eager students who are ready to learn an excellent education. Many of them are a first generation Americans and are excited to begin school!

My Project

Being a reflective thinker is a great way to help you internalize what is going on around you. In school, we often ask students to reflect on what they have learned. This helps them better understand themselves as a learner as well as helps the teacher assess whether they understood the material taught.

However, I intend not to use these journals for academics but for more of a journal on how they are feeling.

With the recent tragedies that have been happening in schools, I feel it is important for students to express how they are feeling/concerns. These journals will help them get their thoughts down on paper each day. Whether they're feeling happy, sad, or just want to reflect on something that happened. Teaching them to get their feelings down on paper can help in so many ways. Having these journals can give them a sense of ownership and knowing that they have something they can turn to to express how they feel.
