My Students

Our sixth grade is comprised of 130 amazing students, many of whom come from bilingual households and receive free or reduced-price lunch. Thriving in an ocean of opportunity, on last year's end of grade test, the shark team showed remarkable academic growth, regardless of demographics. In fact, several of our learners made grade level proficiency in Language Arts and Math for the first time in several years. We need your assistance as we swim toward the shore of academic success.

My Project

We are in full swing with blended learning for my classroom. That means that I am teaching students both in-person and online at the exact same time. As you can imagine, that means I'm juggling a lot of technology and doing my best to make sure the needs of all my students are met. Having access to a portable monitor would be a game-changer for my students and me.

I have to travel between classrooms due to COVID regulations which means that all of my technology has to be mobile and easily packable.

When I share my screen with my students to watch videos or work out math problems with them, I am unable to see their faces and the chat because it all can't fit on one screen. I am requesting your help to receive a 15.6-inch screen as it would be a huge help for my daily teaching by allowing me to see my online students during instruction. I want to make sure that, whether my students are online or in person, they're getting the best education I can give them. I’m requesting a power strip as well to assist with connecting my technology centrally.
