My Students

My sweet students come from diverse backgrounds and bring a large array of experiences to my classroom. One thing they all have in common is using their imaginations and creating a happy world within our walls.

Daily, our students overcome a variety of basic challenges - getting breakfast, making it to school, having homework completed.

Our school is a Title I urban school with the most diverse population in our district. Over 80% of our students qualify to receive free or reduced-price lunch. School becomes a safe haven for these scholars - where expectations are the same every day, and their basic needs are met. While they come to school to learn, they thrive when they are given the opportunity to utilize a variety of resources to make learning real and fun. This is what keeps them coming back and keeps them hooked into learning the rigorous academic standards.

My Project

In my classroom, we learn through talking, exploring, discovery, and...more talking! It can get loud in here! Often students complete academic tasks on the iPads and need to be able to drone out the banter around them.

By having their own set of headphones, students will be able to have peace and quiet to work on their iPads when needed.

The Osmos will provide a technology center where students will be able to work together to solve problems and practice critical thinking using the Osmo app. This will allow students to more freely use their iPads throughout the day instead of having to wait for a pair of headphones or try to work with the noise around them!
