My Students

I'm hoping to inspire my students with technology and connect it to mathematics. We'll take on blogging, Twitter, video editing, 3D printing, Skype, and much, much more! My fourth-grade students come from a variety of backgrounds. Fifty percent of my students live in high poverty areas, and about 15% of them are English Language Learners from South Africa, Vietnam, Nigeria, Bhutan, and other countries.

Our school is a K-5 Vermont school that loves embracing STEM activities.

We put tools into the hands of students to keep them energized. My students are an energetic and inspired group of learners who love utilizing technology.

My Project

As students come to school we want to be able to provide every resource they need. It helps make the classroom feel like a more equitable community. Unfortunately we often end up asking parents to send in basic school supplies.

Please help my classroom have the basic supplies so that my students can look around and feel like materials are equitable.

With this funding school will have the basic materials they need to be successful. Students will get new folders and better writing notebooks. These seems like simple items but they make a huge difference in the organization of a classroom. Students will be able to write their response in a specific place, this helps them keep organize for each subject area and review their notes for a specific subject when necessary.
