My Students

My students are hearing impaired ranging from the ages 8-11. They are very creative and loving children that work hard to achieve their goals. They have been identified as hearing impaired at different ages, and some of them are struggling to catch up with their peers of the general education setting. Lacking the language that that most of us receive when we are first born, my students missed out and are behind because of this. My goal for them is to always help them do their best to reach their goals and succeed in life. Just because they have an impairment doesn't mean they can't make an impact.

My Project

I have been told that "Technology is a tool that get the kids working together and motivating them to learn." I know that kids are excited about getting on the computers and taking a break from the normal instruction. BrainPOP Jr. was designed to engage students to learn in a new and exciting way. My students are hearing impaired, and because of this they learn their BEST through visuals. I am constantly looking for new ways to show them examples, and I get all of it from technology. With this I know it will be helpful in tracking my students' growth and helpful in having them learn and have fun! I have had a chance to try out BrainPOP Jr. and I absolutely love it. There are unlimited possibilities with this, and I know that with your donation, you will be helping me achieve my main goal as a teacher, which is to help my students succeed!
