My Students

For my second grade learners, our school is a safe, consistent place in their lives where they can find encouragement and love. Our class has a high population of student from low-income families. They are diverse learners with many needs, but they have overcome so many learning challenges and obstacles this year. Not only may they have difficulties in the classroom, they also have challenges outside of school.

In over a decade of teaching, I have never had a class that CRAVES learning like this one.

They are curious and passionate. I have set the bar high for them, and they continually surprise me by meeting my expectations.

When provided with relevant and engaging tools, my students are able to explore their personal inquires while gaining confidence as learners. I want to provide my students with relevant tools within our classroom that will promote success and passion in their future.

My Project

Many of my students have limited access to technology outside of our classroom. As a result, they are extremely motivated when technology is integrated in our learning experiences.

The addition of two iPads in my classroom would allow my students to have consistent access to technology.

With engaging apps, my students can use the iPads to read at their level, write, practice math facts and learn about the world around us.

In our classroom, I strive to introduce my students to relevant texts and literature. My students are deep thinkers, inquisitive, and interested in real world issues. The iPads would allow my students regular access to online articles and news. The iPads would also allow them to delve deeper into their inquiries, research topics of interest, and potentially find ways to act upon their passions. My students would have the opportunity to explore different formats of publishing their writing and sharing their ideas, or even participate in blogs as a mode of literature conversations. As they explore all of this, my students will gain real world problem solving and technology skills while simultaneously reaching their learning goals and standards.

Our current math curriculum provides an extensive online component, which allows students to work on differentiated skills. I have previously not been able to provide this opportunity to my students, due to the limited access to technology that I currently have within my classroom. The iPads would allow the online component of our math curriculum to be a consistent piece of my students’ learning and our math routines. Students would have regular access to differentiated games, activities, and guided practice specific to their individual learning needs.

iPads in our classroom could provide endless learning experiences to my students!
