A typical day in my classroom in busy, busy, busy. It seems there is never enough time to get everything done. I try hard to help all my students grow. By the end of the year I hope they leave my class feeling not only that they have learned many things but also that they ARE special
I have twenty-one very active and very inquisitive students.
They are very eager to try new things which is why they are so excited about coding since they have recently tried it.
Our school is a large K-5 Elementary school and is considered to be a high poverty school. Of our six hundred students around 75% qualify for free and reduced lunch. Our school has many programs such as the Back Pack Program that provides food for needy students on the weekends. We also have free breakfast for all students. Our school is a place where students not only receive a education but come so that they feel safe and loved. I attended this school myself when I was small and it holds a special place in my heart!
My Project
My students will be able to use these requested four Dell Chromebooks to explore Coding. They are really excited since they have been introduced to this. I would love for them to be able to have the resources in our class to practice more.
Also, they use the reading program Razz Kids where they listen to, or read books, on their own level and then answer questions. It is a progressive program.
Donations to this project will help to improve my classroom by providing the technology resources my students need.
It will also give them a chance to connect what they are learning to the real world by having a tool at their fingertips to do research, look for answers and feel good about themselves.
