My Students

The lack of student engagement is a growing issue for many school districts including my very own. The trend of disengagement is causing absenteeism to rise. The root of disengagement can stem from multiple factors including broken homes and emotional and academic barriers. Many of the students within our district are also students with special needs and English Language Learners. These students can become frustrated when learning new concepts, which can lead to disengaged learning. It is important to find ways to continually keep students engaged in the classroom and motivated to attend school.

Technology, I feel is the best way to personalize students learning and connect with students who may find it difficult to engage in daily learning.

The students in our district come from all areas of town. In our district funding is limited, and access to technology can be difficult. The classroom should be a place where all children feel confident and motivated to learn. A set of Chromebooks will not only provide them with an outstanding learning opportunity

My Project

Everybody loves a good story... whether it's a novel, picture book, or even just a friend telling you one. Why does it have to stop at just that? What about telling a story of Science? At the end of each unit my students are asked to complete a culminating project of everything they have learned. Many of my students choose to do this by writing stories or songs.

My students love to write narrative stories or songs depicting themselves as an important part of Science.

Whether it's writing from the perspective of a sound wave as it travels through our classroom or singing as if they are the full moon way up in the sky, storytelling in Science is fun and engaging for all students! Students are able to take an informational topic and bring it to life all while showing their knowledge and comprehension.

My students have so much fun composing their stories and songs, but don't all have the technology to publish their work. After spending time drafting, revising and editing their stories and songs they deserve the technology to finalize their work. The Chromebooks would be a great way for them to do just that. The addition of five new Chromebooks to our classroom will continue to allow my students to storytell their way through Science.
