My Students

My co-teachers and I are lucky to teach 150 wonderful students. What makes our job challenging is that each of these students learns differently, behaves differently, has a different level of comfort in class, and has different challenges and goals. They have different interests and are engaged by different things.

Ensuring that our students become fluent writers is dependent on having the supplies to do so.

We have been lucky enough to have 15 laptops funded by Donors Choose and our goal is to get a full class set. However, we need a place to securely house and charge these laptops to ensure that they are secure and last.

My Project

We have been lucky enough to get 15 laptops through Donors Choose. They have been invaluable to our students who use them to create writing pieces, communicate with each other, research important information and participate in educational games that develop their knowledge and engage them in our curriculum.

Housing these laptops has become difficult as they all need to be plugged in to ensure that they are ready to use as well as locked up to ensure that they are safe and secure when not in use.

If we had a laptop cart, we could transport them to any room we need to use them in as well as make sure they are safe, secure, and fully charged (ready for use at any time).
