Bright colored murals, beautiful garbs, fresh fruits and vegetables at the corner market and the smell of delicious Indian food coming from the nearby kitchen. This is the environment my students live in. Parkchester is a beautiful neighborhood that embodies the Indian culture. Unfortunately, my school is in a low-income neighborhood. Many of my students, a diverse mix of cultures too, attend a school that strives to give these eager students who are ready to learn an excellent education. Many of them are first-generation Americans and are excited to begin school!
My Project
How fortunate are the children today to have the resources on the computer to help them be able to reinforce their learning or enhance their learning by going on educational websites and apps? Reading A-Z, ABC mouse, ABC ya, and Star Fall are just some of the accessible apps that are available to help my students. In a classroom of 32 we do not have enough technology to have these resources available, specifically for my struggling students.
My students who are struggling learners need iPads that are easily accessible in the classroom.
iPads would benefit these students greatly when they are able to easily access such websites like star fall, that can help teach the basics like letter sound recognition or phonics. Please help my students be able to utilize these wonderful websites through a fun technology tool such as iPads!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
