Chromebook Needed For Our Math and Science Centers. Part II.

My students need a Dell Inspiron Chromebook for our Math and Science Centers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Francois's classroom raised $264

My Students

I teach fifth-grade math and science at a Head Start through 5th-grade elementary school in North Miami. Most of my students are high-poverty and have very limited technology at home.

After Hurricane Irma struck, the financial situation for most of our students became even worse and now we have started welcoming students who were displaced by Hurricane Maria.

Sadly, for most of our students, Internet access and the use of computers or any kind of technology, are luxuries that they just do not have at home. My students are always excited to use technology in our classroom, and when we do math or science center activities, they rush to the workstations, in order to explore online resources. As aforementioned, most do not have computer access at home, so the only opportunity they have to learn using technology is at school. Also, we need consumables/classroom supplies related to math and science, so that our students can get "hands-on" experience while learning.

My Project

I teach fifth-grade math and science, at a Head Start through 5th-grade school in North Miami. Most of my students are high-poverty and have limited technology at home.

After the hurricanes struck, the financial situation for most of our students became even worse and they are still facing the challenges of coming to school with basic supplies.

For most of our students, Internet access and the use of computers are a luxury they do not have at home.

As we are embarking to be designated officially a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) school, technology has now infiltrated every aspect of how our classes are taught. After Hurricane Irma struck, most students came back with fewer supplies and less access to the tools they need to be successful. Even with limited resources, using technology in my classroom has proved to be quite a success as the students learn quickly, discover and enjoy every lesson while developing scientific exploration, analytical and critical math skills.

I am requesting a Dell Chromebook, which will be used for STEAM activities. My students now need to experience actually utilizing technology on a personal "one-on-one" basis, to enhance their language skills as well as computer skills.
