My Students

A typical day in my classroom is filled with a ton of energy. It comes from both myself and my students. I love to read write and that love is contagious in my classroom.

The students in our school are primarily middle class, however we do have a little over 25% who receive a free or reduced lunch.

We run several interventions and study labs to not only increase student achievement, but overall confidence in our student body.

My Project

Newsela is an extremely powerful tool for Language Arts Teachers to use in their classrooms. It offers free materials that I have been using this past year. Newsela offers a variety of articles on current events that interest middle age students. The difference is that Newsela can align the article to students' on Lexile levels. This allows teachers to diversity the materials based on students reading fluency and comprehension. With Newsela Pro, which I am requesting students are able to access the materials at home, and make annotations and answer comprehension questions digitally. As a teacher, I am able to digitally access this information and make comments and have conversations that will enhance their overall comprehension and critical thinking skills.

This project would improve my classroom and the instruction my students get at school and at home.

Having Newsela Pro allows students to interact with with and other students in the annotations they generate when reading a leveled piece of expository writing. The SBAC is in this format. It requires students to analyze and use critical thinking skills when reading articles. Have a digital model of this will allow students to increase their understanding of this skill.
