My Students
I teach at a Title I School in East Texas. We are a small community school and we are limited on materials. However, our school serves a free breakfast every morning to ensure that all students receive the nutrition they need to start the day.
I want my students to have all the materials they need to better their education.
I am a 2nd grade teacher. My classroom consists of a wide variety of diverse students that come from small towns. They are a bright group of kids who are eager to learn and I want them to be able to walk into my classroom and feel excited about what is in store for them that day. Because they are from a small town, they feel the need to challenge themselves to the max to show their full potential. This is something we encourage at BES because we know that our students are capable of accomplishing anything they set their minds too.
My Project
My students are requesting iPods to take advantage of physical fitness Apps, GoNoodle videos, and YouTube sites to listen and read fitness & health books. They come to me from 1st grade LOVING to move along with brain breaks and listen to books! When discussing how they could best benefit from the Target campaign, my students kept coming back to utilizing Apps so they could watch, read, listen to and follow along with exercises, books and activities. They love jumping, counting, surfing, dancing, bouncing up and down, etc. Accessing these Apps will be so much easier with new iPods and earbuds. With these iPods, my students will be able to do so many different activities; Yoga, jogging, dancing to the beat of a favorite tune, or even reading about the food pyramid. They will love being active and they will have fun in the process. They won't realize they are exercising, much less doing brain breaks that help speed the learning process.
NO more sitting during brain breaks only active learning!
We will be up and MOVING!
Please be a part of making this project a reality for my students, and give a gift that will continue to help year after year....the gift of active learning and the importance of fitness.
More than half of students from low‑income households
