Literacy growth with Tablets!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. W.'s classroom raised $341

My Students

Hard working , adaptable, compassionate, diligent and reliable are just a few words used to describe my students. Hearing those adjectives, it is hard to imagine they attend a school where 96% of students are classified as low income. Given that fact, they don't let it hinder their education.

I teach at a neighborhood school where low-income does not equate to low-academics.

Because of their dedication to education, I want to be sure that as they grow, more adjectives can be added to the list to describe them. There is no limit to who or what they can be. Ultimately, when they are asked to describe themselves, the first word spoken should be Inspirational.

My Project

With daily access to tablets, my students will be able to practice important skills to help them grow toward mastery of 6th grade skills. While some students are at or above grade level, many of my students are below grade level. Having access to tablets will give them an opportunity to work at their own pace while in small groups.

By the end of 6th grade, I want ALL of my students at or above grade level.

While I try to ensure my classroom is a great learning environment on a daily basis, my students enter the classroom at a disadvantage. Many of them do not have Internet access at home and rely solely on computer use at school. Therefore, it is important they have the use of tablets to help get them on track and in the race.
