My Students

Our classroom is a space where curiosity, creativity, and empathy are encouraged and practiced. We, third graders, are a diverse bunch--not only in our backgrounds but also in the way we think and learn about the world around us. Our Arts Integrated school encourages us to demonstrate our knowledge of Math, ELA, History, and Science in engaging ways that sometimes take us to be active citizens in our community. We are always eager and grateful for opportunities to learn more each day.

My Project

Diversity, empathy, belonging--these are all big themes that we are exploring this year as a class. First we started with ourselves and have been working hard to protect our classroom's values of respect, integrity, and empathy by upholding them each passing day.

Third grade is a big year for students because it is when they truly begin to think for themselves.

It is when most of them are able to read to learn (rather than focusing on learning to read). It is an exciting year in their learning, and we have a whole lot of learning ahead of us.

Our year ahead will include studying the history of Los Angeles in order to envision and plan for a better future. This study will include looking into the LA River; the Tongva Native Americans; the Pobladores; and more recent events like the LA Riots and the Women's March earlier this year. We will need iPads to do the best research we can to make informed decisions about our future. We will use these iPads for good, and they will be a vital part of our arts-integrated units in which we integrate Reading, Writing, Theater Arts, Visual Arts, Music, Dance, History, and Science into a GIANT unit on our city.

We also need iPads for having more opportunities to practice our math and reading fluency for all of our students. Due to our student population, many students do not have access to technology at home and so are unable to develop important skills that they will need in the 21st century.

Please help us dream of a better future for you and for us! Thank you!
