My Students

Since we live in a technological world I enjoy providing technology rich reading lessons to my intervention students. A new computer would allow me to provide this for my students since my current computer is outdated. A camera would also be beneficial for reading projects with my students.

Our Pre K-5th grade school is one of the feeder schools in our home town.

Our town is a close knit community and we have wonderful students here! Our school has about 550 students. I teach Reading Intervention to students in grades K-2nd. With the new Common Core Curriculum implemented, we are all trying our best to move forward and do what is best for our children. They are and will always be our number ONE priority!

My Project

I truly believe this statement Bill Gates has shared. "Technology is just a tool". In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. With that said, please know that I am a teacher who loves using technology in my classroom. However for obvious reasons, purchasing technology is not always in the budget of school systems. My current computer is outdated, so the purchase of a new computer would be beneficial to me and the students I service. With this new computer, my students could engage in richer technology Reading/Phonics lessons. The Internet offers so many free activities for our students. I know having a new computer would help them continue to engage in meaningful lessons to help them reach their potential in my shared classroom!

With a technology goal on the horizon and hope of new equipment, I plan to continue moving forward for my students to have a productive 21st century reading environment for my students.

Your consideration and help would be appreciated!
