My Students

Our school is an inner-city school with a diverse population. We have over 850 children walking through our hallways, speaking a variety of languages and coming from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Each day these students enter a safe learning environment and are greeted with smiles from dedicated, caring staff members.

I love to teach, and I want my students to love learning.

Language Arts encompasses reading, writing and speaking, and I try to engage students by using the arts to enhance their learning. This is a challenge with a district that is underfunded. I appreciate the opportunity to help me help my students.

My Project

Having a set of laptop computers will allow my entire class of students to utilize their own computers to write their essays, conduct research, and create their own presentations. In addition, the cart will safely and securely house and charge the laptop computers when not in use.

These laptops will enhance the learning process for each individual student, for the children will have the ability to work independently and do an array of activities on these devices.

What's more, having a set of computers will allow students to engage in iReady activities as mandated by our district to further enhance their learning process.
