Help Us Become Digital Students In A Digital World!
My students need more technology like tablets in our classroom because we are currently limited to 2 desktop computers to share between 18 students.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My classroom is a mixture of exceptional learners, English language learners and high poverty students who are hungry to become strong, independent and fluent readers.I teach two groups of third graders that are with me for their THIRD year. We have loved our time together the last two years and this year we are already flourishing as third graders. They can't wait to become even more powerful independent readers with the help of technology in the classroom.
My Project
At a time when technology is such a huge and crucial part of the world around us, my students are lacking the basics in school. We have two old, desktop computers (one of which is my teacher computer) to share between 18 students. We are a high-poverty school, so many students do not have access to technology outside of school. This does not allow my students to become exposed to some of the technology they will experience in the real world.
With these tablets, they will get a chance to have technology right in the palm of their hands!
Literally! My main goal for these tablets is to use them to help build reading fluency. Many of my students are ELL and are still developing their foundational reading skills. With the help of apps such as MyOn and Time for Kids, my students will be able to listen to grade-level text while reading along on the screen, which will allow them to hear what a fluent reader sounds like.
More than half of students from low‑income households
