My Students

Our elementary school provides high quality, valuable education to many students in the Los Angeles area. More specifically, my classroom consists of 24-second grade students that are bright, curious about the world around them, and eager to learn. The school they attend promotes lifelong learning through enrichment and differentiated instruction. They thrive on exploring the subject matter in a deep and complex way.

My students work together collaboratively to share ideas, are highly motivated, and are always ready for a challenge!

My Project

In order for my students to be successful in the upcoming school year it's important to have up-to-date technology that will support my students. At this time, it's unclear if we will be back in the classroom, distance learning or on a hybrid plan.

Learning from home will require me to have a document camera that will capture what I'm writing or displaying so the students will be able to observe through the zoom platform.

In the classroom we will be practicing social distancing. Having a wireless microphone will help me project my voice so that all students can hear me clearly no matter where they are seated in the classroom.
