My Students
I teach at a large Illinois elementary school. The school is predominately African American. I teach 6th and 7th grades. My students are from low income families and are all eligible for free lunch.
My students, like most children today, are very tech-savvy.
Any way that I can integrate an aspect of technology into my lessons keeps my students interested. I have subscriptions to on-line educational sites such as BrainPop and Flocabulary. I also have a subscription to Time of Kids and Scholastic News Weekly Reader with Science Spin. There are on-line activities that my students are able to participate in but they do not have access to computers at home. It is difficult for my students to use the computers at school because they are often broken. If my grant is funded, I will be able to use the LCD projector with my subscriptions so that all of my students can take part in the on-line components of my subscriptions.
My Project
Unfortunately, every year our school's budget is cut and I am left scrambling to find resources for my students. I have a lot of resource materials but I do not have enough copies for all of my students. I am asking you to please fund my grant for 1 LCD projector. With this item I will be able to use 1 copy of printed material for all of my students. I can use a copy of an assessment and project it on the wall so that all of my students can see the information without making 62 copies! This will help save trees and will allow my students to receive their information technologically. The LCD projector will also allow me to conduct science demonstrations that all of my students can see from their seats. The LCD will further allow me to display information on my dry erase board and my students can write directly on the board (a make-shift whiteboard), allowing them to calculate and explain math problems for the entire class.
Any time a lesson is delivered "outside the ordinary" my students become more engaged.
This, of course, will help them be successful in school. My students and I would be greatly appreciative if you are able to help fund this grant.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
