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
I teach at a low-income school in Mississippi. Students come to me with a variety of needs, both academic and social-emotional. They are always eager to learn. All of our students receive free lunch. My school is currently a C-rated school, but we are striving to become a B-rated school.
They are the shining stars who brave through some pretty tough home lives in order to excel in a safe, fun, engaging learning environment.
My hope is to provide my students with a colorful, warm classroom that is not only inviting but purposeful.
My Project
I am requesting a Microsoft Surface Go 10" and a Microsoft Surface Go Type Cover. They will be used by the students to access millions of free books and resources. As the Microsoft Surface Go 10" is internet accessible, students can also use it for taking Accelerated Reading Quizzes and even use many of the apps for science, health or math study.
The applications of this device also makes it useful for writing, drawing, and even reading books.
Students can also work on Study Island. It will be well used in our class. It is a very valuable tool and will hopefully lead the way for innovative learning in my classroom and school.
This is a hardworking, deserving group of students! You have the power to instill the love of reading and knowledge of new literacy technology in such a deserving group of kids. It is a gift that will benefit many students for years to come.
