My Students

I teach 23 enthusiastic, eager to learn, fun and loving students! They all have their very own personalities and ways to shine! They enjoy lots of learning centers and working with one another in partnerships and in groups. I have created some literacy centers and bought games for all components to help increase literacy skills. Although my students enjoy the literacy centers created for them, there was just one piece missing and that is a listening center!!! With a listening center my students will become more confident in themselves especially when it come to questioning time. They will have the ability to listen to a story a number of times to get the full effect and understanding of the read aloud!

My Project

My students come from all backgrounds. I have students with special needs as well as an English Language learner in my generally education class. To help support my students further, they need many means of exposure to literacy. I have many hand made literacy centers along with computers but found that there was one missing piece: the listening center!!! With more exposure to literacy I believe my students will get a chance at becoming better readers as well as critical thinkers. A listening center will help my student with fluency, decoding, engage in the text as well as expose them to new vocabulary. It will also lend itself to group discussions about the text they just heard!
