My Students

My students inspire and surprise me all of the time! I have the privilege of working with small groups of learners who work hard, collaborate, and continue to build their reading stamina and language skills every day. We live in a small mountain community in Northern California. My first through fifth-grade students, many of whom are dual-language learners, need additional support with reading, writing, and language development. They thrive in learning environments where they feel safe taking risks; where they perceive reading and writing as positive and attainable; and where they know their voices will be heard and honored by those around them.

My students are eager learners who speak a variety of languages, demonstrate unique learning needs, and respond well to rich & engaging instructional approaches.

My students are continuously seeking answers to difficult questions and trying to make sense of the injustices that they see around them. This book will help them to continue to find answers to these, as well as other questions that may arise.

My Project

We have several fabulous emergent bilingual students who are fluent in their home language but are JUST learning to read, write, listen and speak in English.

We want to help them to access the learning in their classrooms by providing them with bilingual dictionaries, as well as translator pens to help them "hear" a variety of texts in their home language.

These translator pens can be used with a large collection of bilingual books that we already have, to help support content learning as well as gain access to great pieces of fiction. Plus, as described on the Language Lizard website, they include "special recordable labels allow teachers and students to record, save and playback their own recordings using PENpal. Record narrative, music, or sound effects... the possibilities are endless!"

We would love some help providing as many tools and points of access for our dual-language learners as possible. Thank you for your support!
