My Students

My students are amazing, marvelous, and challenging on many levels. Our new reality of virtual learning comes with its own set of advantages and challenges and my sholars are rising to the challenge.

It is a journey to discover how best to serve every single one of my students and get them ready for college and for life, and I am enjoying the ride.

Our school is a Title I school in Atlanta where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of our students are facing many socioeconomic challenges that hinder their academic success. As I observe them via the lens of our Zoom sessions, enthused in a lesson, I regain my conviction that a future is possible and achievable for all my students.

My Project

We constantly reinvent our language classroom in the midst of this growing pandemic. One of the ways to get our scholars involved in live participation is by using clear folders and dry erase markers.

Each document is handed out and handled safely through the plastic cover and allows students to engage safely and with excitement.

As we complete reading comprehension activities or any checking for understanding activity, we will use the clear pocket/folder and the dry erase markers. The same class set will be used over and over and all we need is to sanitize after each use.
