My Students

My students come from hard working, low-income households where English is their second language. They are of different cultures and ethnicities. These are kindergartners and 1st graders in a self contained class that includes students of English Language Learners and students with special needs. They were in fully remote preschool and kindergarten last year

They have missed out on a lot of hands on learning while attending class remotely.

They had a tough time learning remotely at such a young age. It has been a very tough year for everyone.

My Project

Since my students were fully remote last year, making it their first experience in school, they have not been getting the hands-on practice to learn language and phonics skills. This has hindered their reading skills and they have fallen further behind. Now that they have switched to in person, these activities will promote reading for our precious students, especially those who are tactile learners. These activities will give them hands-on, center-time activities to learn and practice in a fun way. Students will be excited to be using these new activities.
