Whew! I just finished my 24th year of teaching. I come from a family of teachers. My mom, dad, and three of my five children are teachers, not to mention my two daughters-in-law! I am an ATPE teacher from East Texas. Teaching is a very rewarding job, one of the best in the world. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to serve as a teacher.
This year I am looping from 2nd to 3rd with my class.
This includes two special needs students. My students come from a socio economically disadvantaged district. Many of my students receive free breakfast and lunch - it is a luxury. Some, even receive food “backpacks” for the weekends. We also have a growing Hispanic population. But we are proud to say, through hard work and lots of care, our district has had a 100% graduation rate.
My students feel loved. Tolerance and acceptance is something that is fostered everyday. We live in a small rural community and continue to support former students through school activities such as sports, band and other district activities.
My Project
The iPad is an amazing tool in the classroom. The number of educational apps is increasing every day. Students will be able to use the iPad to practice skills, research science and social studies topics and read ebooks alone or with a partner. My desire is to have an iPad available to put into the hands of ALL my students. I am trying to slowly get resources to accomplish this goal! With this iPad, they could listen to stories, add and count money, do math centers, practice penmanship with letters and numbers. Our project is important because with your help we can increase the use of technology in our classroom.
The students of this day and time thrive in learning with the support of technology.
With the 20-1 ratio in my classroom, it leaves me feeling like I am stretched "way too thin"! With these tools, I hope to give my students an edge up on ignorance. Please help make this possible for my classroom full of 3rd graders!
