My Students

Our students are typical teens and preteens. They love sports and video games. The latest music can be heard playing on their phones before school. Most are from second language learning families. Working class parents come to meetings always eager to see how they can help their children have the best learning opportunities.

They love technology but don't always see how it can be used to help their education.

You see them snapping and chatting, following each other’s tweets and liking different posts. What they are missing is how technology can enhance their learning; both by making it fun and giving them more connections to their learning.

My Project

My advisory class is composed of a wide array of students; we see the outside of everyone, but the inside of them is what we don't always encounter. Friday advisory story time is a time for each of my students to stop. It's a time for them to be able to be a kid and have a story read to them. I sing them a song and mention them by name, then I read them a story that helps them be able to deal with their emotions, understand how to deal with conflict, improve their self view, and other important things in their social-emotional development.
