Help me give my students the equipment needed to adequately use their technology on a daily basis. My students are expected to log onto their iReady twice a week and cannot do so without earbuds.
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
I teach at a Title One school where our motto is "Every Person Matters, Every Moment Counts". The admin and teachers are passionate about this motto and strive daily from the moment the students walk onto the campus in the morning until the last student leaves at the end of the day.
Our fantastic 5th grade students deserve the best!
They come to class each day with a willingness to learn and a positive attitude. As a teacher, I need to be ready to give them all the tools and equipment necessary to learn. With the majority of schools switching from pencil and paper to computers and laptops, our students need the right technology to keep up.
The work they do in the classroom is helping to prepare them for a brighter future.
My Project
The earbuds that I am requesting will help the students out on a daily basis. Each week the students are asked to log onto Reading and Math programs that the district has purchased and these programs require the students to listen to stories and directions. The programs also help struggling students out by reading the questions and answers to them, but my students need working earbuds to listen to all of this.
Trying to do your work without the proper materials is hard on everyone!
When students do not have earbuds, they have to listen to their lesson using the speaker on their laptops. This makes it hard for others to concentrate and disrupts the learning environment.
Also, many students in our Title 1 school do not have the funds to purchase extra school supplies beyond the basic paper and pencils so the teacher is usually supplying the earbuds for the students. Having every student prepared for learning makes the students feel like they matter and goes back to our motto of, "Every Person Matters, Every Moment Counts". If students have the necessary materials to learn, students will not have to share supplies and time will not be wasted.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
