My Students

Our school is in a suburb of El Cajon in Southern CA. We have a diverse group of students and are a Title I school with 100% of our students receiving free reduced-price lunch. We are a TK-8th grade public school with a performing arts emphasis in the Cajon Valley Union School District. We provide an inclusive learning environment that inspires students to develop talents and grow in social, emotional, and academic excellence through the arts. Our vision is to create and inspire dynamic thinkers through the arts. I teach 6th grade English Language Arts to approximately 90 students who rotate to my classroom throughout the day. I integrate the arts into ELA instruction; and I also teach dance, PE, Social Emotional learning, performing and visual arts.

My Project

Whether in the classroom or if we return to distance learning at home, having access to tangible books to read as a whole class for novel studies and access to technology to integrate artistic expression, will make a positive difference in students' learning. Our class does not have class sets of these 3 novels we will be studying this school year. They are Hatchet, Percy Jackson, and The Breadwinner. Having a class iPad and Apple TV for instruction will allow us to use photos and videos for class projects and share our works of arts to truly shine this school year! With these books and technology, students will be empowered to express their learning from the novel studies and other lessons through music, dance, and the arts. Our green screen is already set up in the classroom, and we’re waiting for an iPad to start capturing our learning in action. Everyday after lunch my students will be reading these books for our novel study. When you walk into my classroom, you will see each student reading with a book in their hand as well as listening to me read; and this supports using multiple modalities of learning. Alan Bennet stated, “A book is a device to ignite the imagination."
