My Project

I have a wonderful class made up of a diverse group of English learners and students with special needs. While they face some unique challenges in communication and understanding, their excitement for learning and growing is absolutely inspiring!

This iPad will help provide translation apps and fun educational tools, so students can break down language barriers, build their vocabulary, and improve their communication skills.

These resources are here to support not just their academic journey, but also to give them a confidence boost. This way, they can truly connect with their classmates and dive into the curriculum!

My goal for this project is to give my amazing students the tools they need to shine, no matter what language they speak or the challenges they face in learning. By bringing in technology such as this iPad, I hope to create a fun, inclusive, and supportive classroom environment.

What truly makes my students special is their unique backgrounds and their incredible determination to succeed. Despite any obstacles in their way, they come to class each day with curiosity and a positive spirit, making teaching them a real joy! This project will help ensure they have all the resources they need to reach their full potential.
