Did you ever survive a hurricane as a child? Fortunately many of us have not. The students in my class witnessed a horrible weather event that has left many of them without homes, without clothes and without hope. They need materials to help bridge the technology gap when they have none at home.
My students are the best thing about my job.
I look forward to seeing each of their bright sunny faces everyday. I teach in a low-income school district which means many of my families work very hard to provide for their families with many of them working more than one job. This hurricane has devastated the town they live in, play in and go to school in. It is a very small town and the majority of it was under water the day after the hurricane. I know my families will rebuild and move on but it is going to take a long time and it is such a time of the unknown and anxiety for the young children in my class.
My Project
I have requested these chromebooks in the hope to help families at home as well as school. My goal is to use them in school and also use them as a lending library to help my families during this terrible time of transition. Some of my families lost everything so if I can loan these to them when needed until they get back to where they were pre -Sandy I think it would be such a great help. They can also work on programs with their children. In the classroom, my students will be able to use them to explore their world.
This project will bring technology to my students in school and at home.
In this time of need for my families, your donation will help me to help them put their lives back together. Each of my students has suffered in different ways from this massive storm. WIth your help, we can make a difference. It does take a village. Thanks for your help.
