My Students

"Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or in the same way." -George Evans

There is no "I Can't" in my classroom only "I CAN!"

This year I have an incredible group of 22 Second Grade students who are eager to learn. My school has over 750 Pre-K through 4th grade students and is located in a high-poverty community. About 75% of our school is on free or reduced lunch. These students come to school ready to learn and share their life challenges with us. I am honored to be a teacher to such an amazing group of kids.

My Project

My students need Dell Chromebooks to access research-based reading and math programs. Achieve 3000, Smarty Ants, Accelerated Reader, and Accelerated Math are just a few programs our students can use to strengthen skills. Although the children are enthusiastic and motivated to utilize technology, only a portion of the school day is available for these experiences. For much of the day students are actively participating in direct instruction, collaborative learning, hands-on activities, and teacher-monitored practice. Due to time constraints for computer learning, having a greater number of Chromebooks is the key to ensuring all students frequently rotate through these programs. In our high-poverty community, few students have home computers. This reality further motivates me to ensure maximum computer access at school.

In addition to offering research-based critical skill practice, these programs address and track students’ individual progress.

Time is maximized due to these programs' ability to identify and assign tasks specifically tailored to students’ greatest needs. Furthermore, the programs’ detailed reports assist me in selecting classroom-learning experiences that are optimally aligned to students’ needs.

Unfortunately, some of my students are struggling with the rigor of the district and state tests. Although they experience moments of frustration, these students continue to ambitiously strive for success by maintaining a positive, energized outlook. Our school encourages student growth with incentives for reaching program goals. It is such a joy to witness students learning through technology and beaming with pride as they see tangible proof of their progress.

Your donation of Chromebooks will support my students’ love for learning and provide an excellent avenue for these ambitious learners to continue making strides. Thank you for contributing to my vision, effort, and desire to maximize my students’ academic experiences. Both my students and I greatly appreciate your support.
