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 classroom is made up of 15 sweet boys and girls ages 6 and 7. They come to me every day eager to learn new things and see each other. My students have turned our classroom into a family. My students love to use hands-on activities and technology to further their learning. They have such a passion for reading and writing and strive every day to better themselves academically and socially.
Even though over half of my students come from poverty-stricken homes, they are so dedicated to their school work and to making learning fun.
I adore teaching my students and do my best every day to meet them on their level and to challenge them. I can't wait to see them grow this year!
My Project
My students love to enhance their learning by using their classroom iPads. We use iPads every day in our classroom by using apps such as DreamBox Learning, Raz-Kids, SeeSaw and many more. I love being able to let them use their iPads because it is a great way to differentiate the level of learning they are on but make it still engaging for everyone.
The problem we have had this year is that the headphones that I request be brought in usually break easily or do not get brought in at all.
Without headphones, the students cannot get the full learning experience from their iPad or, in some cases, cannot use the app at all and must do something different than what the class is doing. I am hoping that by getting a set of class headphones that are sturdy, no student will have to go without and families will not have to be burdened to keep sending headphones in.
