I have an amazing group of second grade students! My students are part of a Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program which allows English learners and English proficient students to receive instruction in English and in Mandarin to develop academic proficiency. Like most classrooms, I have a very diverse group of students. Our school is a Title I school, with a very high level of poverty. Although they are surrounded by poverty, they eagerly come to school and work very hard. They know that through education they will be able to better their lives. Students and parents do not have the financial means to provide essentials. Help me bring in the necessary materials to help my students succeed in school.
My Project
We live in extraordinary times. But we are in it together.
Moving our class online, with just a few days to prepare, has been a challenge, yet we persevere and try to find creative ways to be there for our students.
The requested laptop, is essential for me to learn and create instructional materials and deliver them virtually. I will be able to use Google Classroom to keep my lessons going remotely, as well as modify content that I will post in order to support my students' needs. I can also use comments in Google Docs and Classroom to have a two-way discussion with students as I give feedback on their work—another great strategy to engage when I can’t see them in person. Having a reliable laptop will make it easier for me to engage students in this new way of teaching during this pandemic.
Hopefully, with your generous donations, the laptop will assist me in becoming a better educator and take my students to new academic heights while we embark in distance learning.
