My students are Ninth Graders this year aging from 13 to 15 years of age. They are very smart and can maneuver all over and through the latest cell phones, but cannot navigate through a dictionary because as a school we have never had enough of them to use in class.
Etymology and spelling are big factors in vocabulary and context clues; therefore, I believe they struggle because they don't have the resources in my classroom needed to be able to master these skills.
My students range from privileged to those who are low income and they all put their best self forward each day in my class. I think it is vital that everyone feel welcomed and feel secure so that learning can take place.
My school is one that maintains a very welcoming environment and I feel that the students love to be there. I base this on how they interact with each other after a long weekend away from each other. They are always so excited and full of energy on a Monday morning while us teachers stand with coffee.
