My Students

I currently teach a self-contained class in a Title I school. Funding is very limited and so are the materials. Many are English Language Learners; many are special education, and most (approximately 90%) qualify for free or reduced lunch. These students come to school excited for learning and love to get their hands on anything that will help increase their learning. Many of these students go home to houses with little to no updated technology. All students are reading 2 years below grade level. Beyond these odds, my students work hard to achieve a level one status and are fabulous human beings. These students are excited to learn and absolutely love learning

The students have been slowing growth with their work and feel so excited to continue to learn more.

My Project

The items I picked out are to help my students become engaged readers. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word. The easel will be used to hold morning meetings and to have a central place for the students to come sit around. Here we will work on our word study materials by placing our morning message on the board and turning that into a interactive writing station. The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in ELA.

The centers games are to motivate them into playing games with new words.

Students love working in small groups to help each other advance their reading. The students love to play games and are always engaged. By supplying them with new materials and games, the students will be more engaged.

The sight word journals will also help the students feel like stronger writers and motivate them to write more using their sight words. The students will work together to place their new sight words into sentences and use these materials to have a chance to show off their skills.
