The classroom has several ELL students and students of African American or multi-racial backgrounds. The teacher incorporates visual aids, pre-teaching, scaffolding, and multilingual websites to accommodate ELL students. Over half of the class is male, so instruction is geared towards hands-on activities, games, competition, and shorter attention spans. All students receive free lunch, indicating a lower economic status for many families. Several students are in RTI programs or are ELL, requiring differentiated instruction.

students. In order to accommodate for this, I try to incorporate more group work, visual aids, pre-teach whenever possible, and allow for language scaffolding when possible. For example, researching websites I gave them on their computer, I include some websites in English and some in the second language in order to give these ELL students the opportunity to read both. The rest of my class is African American or two or more races. Knowing this allows me to use instructional tools related to their demographic (for example: choosing some books with key African American characters).

Males and females, for the most part, learn best
in different ways. Over half of my class is male. Keeping this in mind, over half of the time in the classroom, I need to gear my instruction to be more hands-on, require more motor activity, involve games and competition, and suit the shorter attention spans of my third grade boys.

Classroom Demographics In my classroom, and the entire school, all the students receive free breakfast and lunch. This helps me better understand the economic status of a large majority of my classroom. My students may not have as many resources at home if they are from a lower economic status.

I have a number of students on RTI’s
and a number of ELL students. Knowing that I have a number of students who need a little more guided instruction allows me to know that I need to differentiate my instruction in different ways and have resources readily available for students who need further or different help.

School Demographics
Looking at these statistics
tells me a lot about the surrounding population of my school. This also explains why a large majority of our students are ELL students because there is a large majority of Hispanic students.
The male to female
population is close, but not exactly equal. More boys in the school mean more hands-on activities and involvement of motor skills. School Demographics
Knowing that the whole school
has free lunch tells me that the large majority of the surrounding communities of my school have a lower economic status. Therefore, as an educator I will try to keep costs low for my students when asking for supplies and field trips. I will also encourage the school to create experiences for these children who might not always have the financial means to go out and experience the world.
Whatever the disabilities are, a
little over a tenth of my school has at least one of them. As a result, there are a lot of pull out programs and more than one resource teacher. The teachers do their best to differentiate their instruction in order to help accommodate for these students.
