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 Title I school is located in Northeast Washington, DC. My loving Pre-K 3 & 4 students at-risk students who face a lot of adversity love coming to school to see their friends and teachers! I admire their resiliency at such a young age. For some of my students, it is a struggle for them to make it to school, but they still manage to come. My boys and girls are very appreciative of materials and resources that are available to them. Many of them come from households that rely on school resources to support them.
Please help me give my students access to digital, interactive, and fun learning.
All of my students are African American and they come low-income households. They deserve to have access to working technology and having access would help close the achievement gap. I can see them smiling from ear to ear.
My Project
It has been my wish for years that my non-working Promethean Board would be replaced. My Promethean Board has not been working for at least six years. When it did work, interactive lessons would be planned where students would look forward to engage in online activities, where a lot of learning was taken place at the same time. These online activities would supplement the content that was taught during whole group/small group lessons. However, it has been unfortunate to my watch my at-risk students suffer from having access to resources that their peers at affluent schools within the district have access to. I want my students to have access to and become familiar with technology so they can be better prepared to compete with their peers around the world. The Wi-Fi system is weak at our school which also becomes a hinderance to teaching. I hope that my project is selected, because it would be a great benefit to my students. I am also requesting a printer because often times the copier at our school does not work.
