My Students

I'm a firm believer in keeping the focus on what is really important. That is students and their learning. Whenever possible, I stop by Starbucks on college campuses because it is where you see students in their natural element: learning, communicating, and experiencing. Imagine that for elementary kids!

We strive for hands-on, real-world experiences to instill important life lessons.

Our classroom isn't about pencils, paper, and tests to learn!

You might think that a school within walking distance of the world's most beautiful beaches has everything it needs. However, a majority of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. As a tourist community, a lot of our parents have seasonal jobs, and things get tight during the off-season. That doesn't stop our students from aiming high. We are a "Leader in Me" school, so we set and track goals weekly. We live by the 8 Habits. Our students have ambitious goals, and their aspirations will stop the cycle of generational poverty. We have future astronauts, presidents, and doctors. As a smaller school, we know most of our students so we're able to hit the ground running on day one of the new school year.

My Project

Our school has a large "Newcomer" program (100+ students strong) because we are seeing a large influx of immigrating families in our community. While we have students who speak a wide variety of languages, the majority speak Spanish at home, and some of these don't speak English yet at all.

These students work especially hard to learn, not only the grade level standards, but also a new language!

Our classes use book and novel studies to teach reading concepts, and students learning English are given a copy of such books in English. However, until they gain huge speaking and academic vocabularies, these novel studies can be a struggle and a source of frustration. This project aims to provide each Spanish speaking student with a copy of the novel study in both English and Spanish! This will greatly help with comprehension concepts as well as foster a bigger vocabulary. The students are able to work with their peers on activities based on the novel, as well as Newcomer resource teachers who support the students in their general education classroom on a daily basis. We have made a selection of books and novels that many classroom teachers use for instruction, as well as some children's classics that are translated in Spanish just so that the students have a variety of books to choose from when reading for fun.
