My students need two iPod Touch devices, due to their learning disabilities, to individually work on numerous math & reading apps I purchased so they can meet their academic goals.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Felix's classroom raised $486
This project is fully funded
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
Remember when teachers made you study flashcards and write things down over and over again using paper and pencils? Technology makes learning more fun. I have implemented the use of electronics to support teaching math and reading for Learning Disabled students. Please help us with your donation.
My students are identified as having learning disabilities and require individualized/group assistance.
We are located in a district considered below poverty level with an enormous amount of minority and bilingual students. Our school is located in the South Bronx by the famous Bronx Zoo. Teachers at this school care so much we purchase as much as we can but it can only go so far. My students have started using the device with the math and reading apps and have begun to make progress. Children learn so much faster with technology and we would like to take advantage of that. The students need the device for these types of apps geared towards learning. We even purchased apps in Spanish and for ESL to help students acquire a second language.
My Project
The use of the device in the resource room classroom has been showing great promise. Children are addicted to technology so why not put it to good use. Students are beginning to remember their multiplication charts (older students with retention issues), spelling has improved and some fluency. I have already purchased 3 but need a total of 10 for each student to have their own. Currently they take turns but would love to have their own so they may compete against each other more effectively and at times, privately. Thank you so much for your consideration in donating towards this project. We also would encourage anyone to donate used devices which can also be synced with these games.
Children need individualized help to assist them with dealing with their disabilities.
Technology has shown, when used correctly, to improve scores as well as self esteem. It's hard enough dealing with a disability, will you help me get these wonderful students caught up with their peers?
Nearly all students from low‑income households
