My Students
My students are a very eclectic, diverse bunch. Some students have been with each other since kindergarten and some are just walking into the country for the first time. A lot of them are on different levels, so it can be difficult at times to have everyone working at the same level. Most of my students come from a variety of different socioeconomic backgrounds and countries. I am the ENL (English as a New Language) teacher for all the students in grades K-5. My students' demographics consists of Egyptian, Colombian, Mexican, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rican, Slovakian, Israeli, Bengali, Arabic, Tibetan, Brazilian, Korean, Chinese, and Ecuadorian.
Given the recent climate, distance learning has been extremely difficult for me and my students.
Receiving a new iPad, created for distance learning would be extremely beneficial to the students and me. I work in a Title III school in NYC, where more than half of the students receiving free lunches. Having access to new technology will enhance their distance learning and educational experience.
My Project
This printer will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. I am constantly creating my own resources on the computer and having direct access to a printer will allow me to print and make copies for my student. My students are learning English for the first time, therefore I make very image-driven resources for them to develop language more efficiently.
My students also have the opportunity to create their own works of art on the computer.
Having access to a direct printer will allow them to see their creations come to life. Please help give my students the opportunity to grow!
More than half of students from low‑income households
