My Students

My scholars are bright, unique, and motivated learners. They attend our Philadelphia public Title I school. When I see my students excited to learn, this drives my passion to teach. Each year with a new group of children is a journey, and this year we are eager to add more individualized instruction and engaging technology-based lessons.

My students are truly some of the most inquisitive and intrinsically motivated learners I have ever had the pleasure of teaching.

All of our students live below the poverty line and are reading below grade level. We have many students in foster homes and some in shelters. Please help me provide the tools they need to close the achievement and increase reading levels.

Thank you for considering our project!

My Project

My students improve their reading accuracy and fluency by listening to the text and silently reading along with it. I establish reading activity centers that help my students practice reading strategies such as letter blending, rhyming and segmenting words. My students need headphones so they can focus on their own work. Students will also use these headphones while researching topics such as the weather and Civil Rights Movement during social studies and science time.

Your donations will help young learners use adaptive reading and math programs on laptops and tablets to help each of them make academic progress.

While using the blended learning model students will use headphones to access tablets and computers during center time for individualized lessons with audio.

Once students believe in themselves they will achieve great things. Thank you for your consideration of my project and for donating to it.
