Collaboration within the classroom allows students to learn what it means to work in a teamwork setting. With the skills of teamwork, students can learn how to collaborate with their peers.

In my Effective Communication II class, I worked on creating a slideshow with two other classmates. Our research was based on After School Tutoring Practices within K-8 education and how our service learning roles connected to it. It consists of personal experiences and how our research supports them.
Early Literacy Family Workshop
Fall '23
I had the opportunity to assist in the Early Literacy Family Workshop where other bilingual Dominican students taught Spanish-speaking parents various reading strategies.
FIELDWORK NOTE:
I met with an ELL student weekly during my 3rd semester of fieldwork. This image represents some of the activities we worked on during our weekly encounters. When I began to meet with her, I learned more about her lifestyle before coming to the U.S. and how she was adjusting to her current school environment. As a bilingual student, I enjoyed connecting with her and getting to know her academically and socially.

This lesson was designed by a classmate and I during our EDU 3000 course. The lesson was guided by the music standard K.MU: Cr1. It provides students with the opportunity to collaborate as they develop musical movements.

Reflection #2
The institution of All Children Academics (ACA), is structured to support students in grades K-5. The school mainly focuses on serving the neurodiverse population and it diversifies its curriculum to provide children with the best education. Throughout my time working with the second to third-grade combo class, I’ve been exposed to the accommodations the classroom teacher develops to help students collaborate. The teacher teaches a Social & Emotional unit at the beginning of each week to help students get familiar with a group working setting. As a way to end the week, students participate in a show & tell activity where they can actively engage in asking each other questions. This Antiracism reflection highlights the importance of diversifying group settings among our students in ways that best support their academic performance in the classroom. I also connect my fieldwork experience to the “Try Tomorrow” activities included at the end of the chapters to help me recognize the way my classroom teacher is incorporating antiracism strategies into their classroom.
Everyday Antiracism: Getting Real about Race in School
Reflection #5
The reading on Everyday Antiracism expanded my knowledge of developing activities to help students engage with one another. As teachers, we must get to know our students beyond stereotypes that have been embedded into society. An unwelcoming environment can keep students from actively participating in the classroom, however, the text emphasizes that other factors contribute to our students’ silence. We can develop an inclusive classroom where students feel valued when we take the opportunity to get to know them truly. As teachers, we can take steps to break down the barriers that students from marginalized groups undergo that keep them from expressing themselves in classroom activities.
Early Literacy Workshop
⟡ collaboration with DUC students & Parent Services Project Inc. ⟡
In my Spring 2024 semester, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with the Parent Services Project to expand the importance of Early Literacy workshops to Spanish-speaking students in grades TK through second grade. I worked with a group of Dominican University of CA graduate students to develop a STEM workshop to help Spanish-speaking families introduce STEM activities to their children. The workshop took place at Coleman Elementary School, where families and their children at the institution were invited to try out the activities. Overall, the workshop emphasized the importance of teaching students activities that incorporate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These concepts were also connected to their connection with art and reading which helped families better understand how STEM can become STREAM.
