My Students

My students are a diverse group of learners that come from many different backgrounds. I have students that speak two languages, including Spanish and Russian. Many of my students face difficulties in their home lives. Yet, they come to school daily with a passion and willingness to learn.

I have a very engaged group of students that are excited and motivated to learn new things every day.

They are a group of respectful, on task, safe, and responsible learners. I love that my students are eager about coming to school everyday and are ready to learn when they walk through the doors.

My Project

Through the use of a Swivl, students will be able to record themselves learning to read, write, and engage in math activities. The Swivl allows students to become more fluent readers because they will be able to hear themselves and correct their mistakes. Due to multiple playbacks where they are hearing and seeing what they are reading, comprehension skills will improve.

A Swivl for handwriting can be used as a reference for students and parents.

I would be able to record the handwriting lesson and then post it so that parents could use the video as a reference in helping their student with proper handwriting skills. I could record the process of using a graphic organizer and the way in which parents could help their student use a graphic organizer for writing.

The use of a Swivl to engage students in math would mean recording lessons that include number sense activities. Counting, one to one correspondence, and patterning are just a few examples. A Swivl allows for all of this and so much more!
