My Students

Welcome to our classroom, located in urban South Los Angeles! My 4th grade students are energetic, engaging, and curious scholars. One of the greatest challenges in such a setting is helping my learners remain consistently focused and engaged, especially during distance learning.

Despite being faced with immeasurable odds, my learners show up eager to face the challenges of every distance learning school day.

Our learning environment is one of safety, risk-taking, and collaborative works.

My Project

This project will enable students to participate in listening center activities where they can read aloud and playback their reading to self-assess. Additionally, they will be able to participate in activities like FlipGrid, where they are able to exchange communications with teachers and peers.

These types of activities are pertinent to students' academic and socio-emotional development.

After being out of the classroom for much of the last year, I would like to provide as many opportunities for my students to speak and listen as possible. Thank you in advance. ;-)
