My Students

I work in a low-income school. All my students come with different challenge they face each day. Challenges range from not eating dinner the previous night to not having a pair of clean clothes to wear. My school offers free breakfast and lunch to students as well as food bags on Fridays. Even though students face these challenges every day, they always come to school ready to learn. They know that in our classroom, everyone is welcome and loved.

In our class, we focus on learning powers (collaborating, persevering, curious, self-mange and reflect).

We use our learner powers every day, and face challenges we may come across and my students come ready to face those challenges. They use their learner powers to become independent learners and problem solvers both inside and out of the classroom.

My Project

My students love to learn hands on. They love to play games related to math and reading. Through playing hands on games, they are learning how to communicate, self-manage and reflect (learner powers).

Students are learning so many skills, and they don't even realize they are learning.

I have a variety of students in my class, and they all learn in different ways. With the Versa Tiles for reading and math, I hit all different types of learning styles (hands-on, visual, kinetic, etc). These materials will help students grow as learners and individuals. Students will get feedback as soon as they flip their answer case over. The tiles create a picture that match the page they are working on. If the picture doesn't match students can go back and reflect on the missed questions. Students are then learning from their mistakes and taking charge of their own learning.

Fluency is something we are always practicing. The whisper phones will help students improve their fluency without distracting students around them. Students will be able to hear themselves read and work on expression and reading rate. Whisper phones also help student hear different sounds more clearly (/v/ and /f/). Some of my students don't like to read out loud, whisper phones can help build confidence in those students. Again, students are taking charge of their own learning.
