My Students

My students are a diverse group of children from low income, immigrant families. Most of them will start the year with limited or no English which makes communication difficult. They usually have the opportunity to absorb a lot of language in a short period of time by interacting with their peers and adults in the room. They love to learn and explore new topics. I love seeing the pride they take in their accomplishments.

My Pre K students are bright, imaginative children with a thirst for learning and working in small groups.

They are sweet, innocent, and caring children. Our school is mainly made up of families from non-English speaking homes. It is a warm, safe loving environment that provides students with the opportunity to expand their education and take intellectual risks. Due to their backgrounds, they face many struggles that hinder their opportunities. We would like to give them as many opportunities to become ready for Kindergarten by learning in small group lessons. They are creative and imaginative when interacting with one another and love working with the teacher in a small group. They really fully indulge in the units we study.

My Project

Unfortunately, what was the first day of school last year will not be how it will look this year. I would like to use many different apps with my students to help with the transition into "Blended Learning" Pre K. The computer I am using from school is limited, the Macbook Air will allow me to video chat without issues to help my students get to know me.

We are all unsure what our first day will look like in September.

Will it be a few students? Will it be a video chat with individual students? No one knows. I would like to prepare myself for both in person and remote learning. The Macbook Air will make planning and interacting less of a challenge.

With a Macbook Air alongside Classroom, I can easily launch the same app on every student device at the same time, or launch a different app for each group of students. When working on a small group lesson using iPads, some students are more experienced than others. With the Macbook Air and Classroom, I can assist and monitor the students privately.
