My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are exposed to several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning, knowing that in the future, I will be needing their art skills, problem-solving skills, engineering and math skills, and science and discovery skills that will help our community combat any challenges.

Help me provide quality materials and device needed for our virtual academic work during distance learning.

They like to move, they love to read, and they love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical."

From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience in school.

My Project

These scholars need our extraordinary support in order to meet their individual learning needs and have access to quality multi-model teaching. Requested materials will be used in preparing lesson videos for virtual teaching, anchor charts, exemplars, virtual field trips and worksheets to also be used when we come back to our school building. It only makes sense to have mobile technology in the classroom, but it is so much more important during distance learning so that students can continue receiving first-hand information from us educators. These academic materials, device and tools will be utilized in different instructional settings during distance learning.

Help me provide quality materials and device needed for our virtual academic work during distance learning.

It helps a lot both for teachers and students to access different modalities in teaching and learning. It really matters how we integrate technology to our millennial scholars to better connect them to interactive learning. When materials are available for teachers, students are able to access the most up-to-date information more quickly and easily than ever before. We will only achieve these through your generosity and extraordinary support. Together, we can make each scholar feel successful every day, even from a distance. I believe every support we give to our students is our gift to our future and community.
