This project will allow me to secure daily presentation of all digitally created lessons. Having grown up in the Silicon Valley myself (Mountain View, CA), I understand the importance of technology in the elementary classroom. Now as a teacher, I attempt to use as much technology as possible in my daily instruction. This will best prepare my students with 21st century skills for the Bay Area workforce they hope to enter in the future. Students interact with my lessons through class polls by using a whiteboard and marker to answer and raise important questions related to academic content. By having my own projector provided by generous donors like yourself, I will have more peace of mind and security in providing my students daily academic content in a digitially engaging and visually stimulating format. The printer paper will be used for daily assignments and homework. Paper surplus will also allow me to send extra copies of important notices home translated in the native languages of my students' parents.
