My Students

Our students come to us knowing they need help, and they are willing to work hard each day. Over half of our Title I school is comprised of low-income families. Our students look forward to coming to school to engage in learning experiences and activities each day with their peers and our staff.

Our staff is strong and creative, making our materials go far while looking for different ways to help each learner.

We encourage our students to show their learning in diverse ways and to embrace their independence. We provide choices whenever we can and embrace a school-wide feeling of inclusion and togetherness.

My Project

This year, half of our students are at home learning in a virtual setting. These students don't have access to materials that we use on a daily basis in school from their homes. With the help of two document cameras, we can share more materials with our students in a timely manner without the worry of losing materials or having only flat pieces of paper to work with during distance learning.

Document cameras are real time teaching in a virtual world - they can help bring to life 3D objects, colorful print and pictures and different manipulatives that before would have been dull, flat and colorless.

These devices help us to engage our students more deeply into our learning activities, and share with both our virtual and in-house learners a more rich way to look at fine details. We can project manipulatives on the board so students can see them or we can show full colored picture books instead of sending back and white copies home. This would completely enrich my team's teaching.
