My Students

My students are all ELL students who come from the Philippines, Micronesia, and Polynesia. They are multilingual learners who try hard to learn a new language, English, and continue their education in their new community. Also, Because of them, our school is becoming a multilingual and multicultural community.

They love hands-on activities and accept challenges.

When they face challenges, they never give up and always keep trying until they accomplish their projects. In my class, my students need to write different types of essays and work on a variety of projects, such as writing story books, making presentation for social justice, creating posters to show their identities, and so on. Those are all not easy projects for EL students who just come to Hawaii for a few years, but they keep trying and looking for different supports to complete their projects. There are rarely any moments that they give up because they believe as long as they try hard, they will have opportunities to be succeed in the U.S.

My Project

In this school year, all of my EL students will create a multilingual story book that will benefit future EL students and bring multilingualism to our school community. To do so, students will need to write their stories in Google Doc and create graphics on their Chromebook. However, many of the ELL students' technology skills are still low and have a hard time to use the tracing pads on their Chromebooks. Many times, because of misuse of the tracing pads, students accidentally delete their work and get frustrated. These wireless mouses will help them to work on their projects easily and less frustrated. Moreover, it can also help to draw their photographs easier and able to express their ideas more through digital graphic design.

The gift cards from TpT will give a huge support on students' academic learning.

In order for students to learn how to write a story, there is a need to provide scaffold materials to help all EL students understand the structure of narrative writing. The gift cards will allow me to look for different academic materials and use them for my students. This will enhance my students' learning on narrative writing.
