My Students

I teach 23 first graders in a low-income/high poverty district in East Texas. My students come from working families that value education but do not always have the resources or educational background to provide reinforcement of skills learned at school. When they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. Despite the challenges both in and out of the classroom, I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students are clever, imaginative and very spontaneous.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. They deserve the best education possible. These students need materials that will help keep their interest and motivate their desire to learn.

My Project

In first grade, our main focus is to teach our students how to read. There are so many apps that reinforce the reading skills I teach every day! I have many struggling readers in my class this year and they get excited to learn when they have the opportunity to work in the iPad. If I had one ipad for each student in their station group, students would have double the opportunity to enhance their reading skills. Many of my students do not access to the Internet or any technology at home.

Having the opportunity to use technology in the classroom is beneficial to each child on so many levels.

I am able to tailor the needs to each specific student on the iPad because of the numerous apps. Your generous donation to our project will improve our First grade classroom by building stronger readers and learners.
