This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My classroom is full of hard working students who are eager to learn! Many of them are coming to me without any prior classroom experience; yet, they work hard and exceed my expectations daily. I am fortunate to be part of a school community that, without hesitation, goes above and beyond the call of duty to meet the individual needs of the families we serve. We do whatever it takes to provide them with the support they need in order to be successful.
My Project
Technology plays a very important role in our students' daily lives! More is required of them each year with regard to comfortably using technology. Our students are required to independently complete high stakes testing on chromebooks, three times a year and very often, the technology we are provided with does not work correctly. As you can imagine, this can be very frustrating for young learners and quickly becomes a distraction to students.
Currently we share class sets of mice, by grade level, my students DESPERATELY need a set, that we can keep in our room!
Having our own set of mice will allow us to ensure that students are provided with working equipment, that will allow them to successfully use the technology we have available to us!
