I teach a 4th-grade inclusion class at a New York City, Title I elementary school where all children qualify for free breakfast and lunch. My students are both general and special education.
My classroom is a diverse population of students from a mosaic of cultures.
My students thrive when I differentiate instruction to meet their learning needs. I have a diverse family of students who are in language acquisition and basic learning modes. With students of such different learning abilities, I strive to create an inclusive and warm accepting classroom.
This year with COVID, I'm faced with the challenge of a hybrid class that can provide students with a modified learning classroom. My goal is to create a dynamic and warm 4th-grade family where all my students feel free to express themselves and feel pride in who they are. As I tap into the talents of my students, it's important for me to have the supplies they need to create and learn.
You can make a difference by giving my students a wonderful new avenue for expression.
My Project
The use of a Dell Inspiron Laptop will help my students transition between remote and in class learning. My students will be learning throughout the year both remotely and in class. It is important for them to have the resources they need to conquer learning.
By donating to this project you will be able to provide resources for my students for both in class and remote learning days.
The students need a reliable computer to in order for them to research different communities and cultures. They will be able to focus on academic material at hand, and not worry about whether the computer is outdated or not. During this time where Remote learning will always be an option, any interaction with updated technology is welcomed!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
