My Project

My students come from a family-oriented, small rural community in South Dakota. The students work hard and are so appreciative of everything. I plan to use Beable reading and Dreambox math with these students from grades 3-8. I can serve 100 students with the help of this technology, and make a 10-15% increase this year alone, in the state assessment scores for our school.

There are no extra laptops that I can use for these students.

I will use Beable reading and Dreambox math, two highly effective programs that require technology, if our project is funded.
