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
Our students are high achievers who love to engage in discussion about science and the connections to the real world. We are located on the south side of Chicago and engaging with the environment is not always easy.
My students love to ask questions and often ask insightful ones that require some research outside of our curriculum.
They love to engage with technology, posting to our Google Classroom page, creating innovative digital products, and finding ways to research and explain their ideas.
They yearn to learn more and expand their worldview. Experiencing natural and built environments outside of our urban neighborhoods allows them to see new opportunities, problems, solutions, and careers!
My Project
My classroom needs Chromebooks, as I strive to meet my students needs by having a class set. Much of the work we do requires access to the internet and Google docs.
My students often stop by in the morning, at lunch and after school to use Chromebooks.
Having some in my classroom allows me to conference with students about specific assignments and then they can make revisions.
To help students become 21st century digital citizens and scientists, access to technology is absolutely essential. We often can grab computers to extend our learning and differentiate for where students are in the learning process.
