"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney. My dream is to have technology available in my classroom, on a daily basis, so I can provide the optimal learning environment for my students. This, in turn, will help make their dreams come true!
My students are a diverse group of kindergarten students with some students speaking English as a second language, some with learning disabilities and others that are achieving beyond grade level expectations.
More than 75% of my classroom is on free and reduced price lunch, and they do not have access to technology at home. Even with the obstacles they face they are a motivated group of kids with hearts of gold.
My Project
My students will use the Chromebooks in many different ways. They will use the computers in our classroom tech center for listening to e-books, educational software, math games and so much more. Students get really excited when they are able to use computers, especially when they don't have access to them at home. They are practicing their technology skills while learning valuable academics. Our school is also required to allow the students time to use I-Ready, an educational website, on a regular basis. Unfortunately, our computer access at school is extremely limited, so every year, we have less access to this site and use technology at all. The resources I am requesting will open up our learning opportunities in many different ways. It is very important for my students to learn how to use technology properly since most jobs today require technology skills and/or knowledge.
These donations will enhance the learning in my classroom.
The opportunities are endless, with the right resources. These are the right resources to make learning come alive in my classroom and to make many dreams come true.
