My students need a set of five classroom tablets and learning resources, like a word whiz electronic flash card, to better engage them in math and reading centers.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aguiar's classroom raised $501
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David Warlick. In our classroom, we're all about being tech-savoy mathematicians and readers.
Our school is located in the heart of Miami.
This year I will be teaching a wonderful group of third graders. I truly believe that they CAN and WILL succeed despite of what society, prejudice, or others might think about them. I hope to affirm their strengths and give them the space to discover that they are capable of achieving their goals and meeting high expectations through the use of technology. My hope is to build a positive classroom culture where students strive for excellence everyday, that take pride in their work, and that always have a "CHAMPION" mentality. I know for a fact, that my students will become critical thinkers, strong leaders, and positive members of their local and global communities.
My Project
The resources that are being requested are to allow my students more access to technology more times during the day. Many of them don't have access to a computer or Internet at home. School is the only opportunity where kids have the chance to explore the world wide web. I believe that requesting these tablets will allow us more time to complete research that is needed to broaden our common knowledge of the world around us. These tablets will be utilized in our centers and will be used during all subjects areas. We will be better engaged in our online programs to reinforce what we practiced in math, better our fluency by listening to online books, and we can learn and practice our research skills more times during the day. We can also practice our sight words on the electronic flash cards that are being requested. Even as a remedial reading class, I know that my students will appreciate and utilize these resources to better their reading and math skills.
Technology is only being enhanced, however my students don't have access to technology on a daily basis which puts them automatically behind their high income peers.
This project will allow my students the opportunity to use technology on a daily basis and will allow them the time everyday to stay up to date with the most recent apps and tools of our time.
More than half of students from low‑income households
