My Project
In our first-grade classroom, we’re building the foundations of literacy every single day. To support our young readers and writers, we’re requesting a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop. This device will open up new ways for students to engage with reading and writing through interactive literacy apps, digital storybooks, and educational tools.
The 2-in-1 touchscreen design is perfect for small hands and allows students to navigate technology in a way that feels natural and fun.
They’ll use it to record their own stories, listen to audiobooks, and practice phonics skills in a dynamic and engaging format. For our struggling readers, it will also provide access to assistive technology and resources that help make literacy more accessible.
With your support, we can bring 21st-century tools into our classroom and give every student the opportunity to grow as a confident, capable reader and writer. This laptop will be a game-changer for our literacy centers and for preparing students for a future where technology and learning go hand in hand.
