Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

We are a Title 1 school with 100% free breakfast and lunch. We are a newly combined school with 1,100 students. The majority of my students come from neighborhoods that are struck with high poverty. Some of my students are English language learners and some are special education. My students really learn to love school and learning! But many come with challenges. They are below grade level as early as kindergarten. We have a tough job when we have to teach students their names when they don't even know there alphabets but we over come those obstacles with a lot of love, cisalpine and hard work.

My Project

An iPad would increase student access to iPads in class. The majority of my students this school year are in grades K, 1, and 2. With this age group, iPads are much more user-friendly compared to computers. We use iPads on an hourly basis for a wide variety of activities. We use them from accessing our intervention programs such as Lexia and class works.

iPads are a vital part of our classroom; it boosts student independence and creates infinite high engagement learning opportunities for them.

Having an extra iPad will greatly increase my students' engagement and the use of technology.
