Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My first grade students are busy tackling the Common Core First Grade Standards while also concentrating on their specific I.E.P. goals and objectives focused on their language, emotional, and physical needs.

I teach in a high-poverty area in a public city school.

My first graders need grit to face daily challenges both in school and their surroundings. A typical day has my students focused on language, math, Spanish, science, while also receiving intervention services in reading, speech, occupation therapy, and more. My students access the general education curriculum using sensory materials designed to support their strengths and areas of need. Technology has opened the doors to learning for all the students I'm working with. By combining both "paper to pencil" activities and carefully selected software, my students will be able to face their challenges head on!

My Project

The students I'm working with this school year receive special education services both in the classroom and in an intervention space. They arrived in first grade with a great deal of interest and experience in technology-based curriculum. I have thankfully been given the opportunity to borrow a first-generation iPad to use to support their learning for the first few months of the school year. At this time, I'm looking to provide my students with more up to date technology equipment so that they can access Hooked on Phonics and other high-quality resources aligned with the Common Core Standards. My goal would be to eventually provide every one of my students with learning-focused technology to prepare them for their future.

Using these materials means my students will get exactly what they need to reach their potential!

They will also be receiving positive reinforcement by participating in appropriate and engaging activities using the iPad. Your donation helps tremendously in providing a high quality education to these first graders. Thank you very much!
