Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

My students are funny and love life. They enjoy working together and sharing ideas. We are a close-knit community.

My class is a Special Education class receiving state-mandated Response to Intervention in an inclusion and SPED setting.

At times, my students need to be motivated and experience opportunities for success.

My students enjoy expressing themselves and sharing ideas.

Upon completing a survey with my students, over 90% expressed an interest in technology that includes shopping online, video gaming, exploring careers in technology, entrepreneurship, and engineering. They also enjoy completing assignments and educational games that include Kahoot and Gimkit.

My Project

I am asking for four Amazon Fire tablets, a case and some stylus pens. These materials will improve student achievement, while providing opportunities for them to work independently and in small groups in both math and language arts. Students will be able to do Iready reading and math online lessons, gimkit math activities, prodigy math, and language art writing, journals, research, audio, webquest, read aloud and reading lessons.

These tablets will be utilized as a homework tool for students to complete assignments using technology in the home.

This will be beneficial for students that do not have access to technology in their home and provide an opportunity for parents to engage with their child while using technology.

This project will help with reinforcing the middle school Common Core Standards and give my students an opportunity to be successful in the classroom.
