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

My students love learning and love coming to school! We are a Title 1 school so for many, it is the only time they get to see friends or have a meal. However, with the recent need for social distancing and in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, we are on an extended break. This is the reason I am asking for a computer. Please help me help them! I will use it to communicate daily with the parents/students and will use it to create lessons and activities that will benefit the students in learning at home. Many of them mentioned as we were leaving on the last day before break, that they would miss me. Well, having a computer would allow me to continue to create, encourage, and love these students by providing videos (that include me teaching), as if we were in the classroom together.

My Project

The computer will be used to provide continued learning from home for my students. With the recent need for social distancing and in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, we are on an extended break. This is the reason I am asking for a computer. Though I have a district provided computer, it is outdated, has NO battery life (shuts off immediately if unplugged), and doesn't support many of the programs/apps that would be beneficial for my students and learning from home. Due to the budget, there is currently no plan to replace my computer. Please help me help them! I currently teach math and science to 50 students. I also tutor some 5th grade students from another district in math. Having an updated computer would allow me to continue to create, encourage, and love these students by providing videos (that include me teaching), as if we were in the classroom or in a one-on-one session.
