My Students

Distance learning has been hard in the beginning as everyone was trying to adjust to a new way of learning and learning in the same time. This is extremely hard for a class of ENL students where their parents can't support them. Within these couple of months, my students have learned to navigate and become independent on using google classroom themselves. A lot of them have shown me that they are still really interested in school work and really missed being in school.

Even though I go live with my students three times a week, there is still students that are struggling.

I really want to help change their perspective of distance learning and make it a little more interactive and fun for them.

My Project

During distance learning, I noticed that a lot of students are missing the essentials of going back to school. Transitioning to remote learning without a warning has taken a toll on a lot of my students.

Therefore, I would like to be able to have some social emotional books that can help boost some of their social emotions at home.

This will also be beneficial to students when they go back to school. Social emotion is a topic that not a lot of people know how to talk about, therefore, with books, it can be easier to transition as students can see it happening to there's and not just them.
