"Be silly, Be honest, Be kind." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. This quote is framed at the front of our room to remind us that we learn from each other as we work to become better readers, writers, mathematicians, and scientists.
We are a neighborhood public school in the heart of Baltimore.
Class sizes range from 20-28 and our students come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. We are a Title I school serving the city of Baltimore and we offer after-school enrichment programs which are available to every student. Our students have weekly instruction in art and gym. Every spring teachers work with students to stage a school musical for which students audition and create set pieces and props. We are vibrant, but we struggle with funding, to say the least.
Many of our students struggle with foundational skills in reading and math and work below grade-level. Small group instruction is an integral part of our classroom day. As a teacher, I supply my classroom with class library books, student book boxes, poetry journals, educational games, bookshelves and school supplies. These materials create a warm and inviting classroom in which my students work to become lifelong readers and learners.
My Project
I am requesting 6 Chromebooks for daily use in my 3rd grade classroom. These Chromebooks will be used for independent work during instructional time in math, reading, writing, and science. Students will also be able to use these as they work on group projects exploring history and culture.
3rd graders are expected to demonstrate proficiency on standardized tests using computers, yet many of my students have no access to internet or computers at home.
These Chromebooks will be instrumental in helping my under served kids gain critical literacy skills and demonstrate their knowledge. They are hungry for new experiences and they deserve to have access to necessary technology in their classroom which they may not have at home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
