Carli Vroman - Teaching

Within the 7th grade class we have one ELL student and a handful of students with IEPs varying in need. Working with these students each day has helped me see the different needs and help differentiate the work that they are doing or the help they need with the work. Looking at my ELL student he came to this district at the end of last year and comes from anhosuehodl that speaks Spanish 99% of the time. Working with him has been really neat because you can see how bad he wants to learn and get his words correct for the English language. He is working around the order of his words a lot right now and also just how to translate his words to English.

 So far in my placement I have made some connections with students. I am still struggling with learning their names but half these students look very similar to me so it's been a struggle. I have worked one on one with a few students who need a little more help then others. Students were allowed to ask me ant questions after I did my speech so they were able to learn more about me and I was able to do the same with them which I really appreciated. I have learned a lot about them and one of my students let me know that their dad teaches at my next placement so I have a mission to go meet him then.
