My Students

I teach a remarkable group of students. I teach at a Title I school which means that most of the students come from low income homes. As an added challenge, many of my students have never been in a classroom before because of Covid. For many, our first grade class is their first experience being in an actual in-person classroom. These students love to learn! They love to be together and enjoy interacting with peers and teachers. I have one student who lost their house to a fire the week before Christmas. Despite these devastating circumstances, this student came to school the next day because they needed that support and sense of belonging from teachers and fellow students in our class. We really are a class family!

My Project

Utilitzing technology is an important part of education in the 21st centrury. Because of financial difficulites for the students in my class, families can not afford to purchase a decent and reliable pair of headphones. A class set of quality headphones will allow my students to use thier technology more effectively. I teach a diverse group of students with varying needs and challenges. I have several ESOL students and students with learning difficulites who need to use the computer to have instructions or stories read to them. If each student does not have thier own set of headphones, it becomes difficult for students to hear thier individual computer.
