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 school is the little school in the country with the big heart! Our school is part of the largest school district in the state but we are in a very rural area. We strive to continue to bring education to life for our students who might not otherwise be engaged in their education. However, there is not a lot of opportunities for our students to have the experiences that other children have.
Our students are bright, curious, and sweet children and it is a joy to watch them engage and understand new ideas and concepts.
Our student's login daily to class so eager to learn. We are always striving to give them the tools and knowledge to continue their educational exploration. They love to learn in a variety of ways but especially using technology. We strive to bring experiences to them through technology and other classroom resources.
We have a diverse population of students and a variety of households represented in my class. Parents are involved in their child's education but their resources are limited. The students work hard every day and deserve an exciting and engaging education!
My Project
A new Bluetooth mouse for every student at our school Kindergarten through 2nd grade will make their new tablets function easier for them as they navigate distance learning. Our school district was able to generously provide each of our students a tablet but many of the programs that we use require dragging and dropping and the new tablets are hard for our littles with little hands. Learning to use a mouse is an important skill for our students as well. A Bluetooth mouse will be so helpful when used with their i-Ready, our board approved intervention program, which is for reinforcing skills or struggling reading and math students.
Each student having a new Bluetooth mouse in their homes to use with their tablet will help bring up-to-date technology to all our students and will help bridge the gap between technology and learning.
It will help enhance the lessons we teach every day. Our students deserve all that we can give them.
