My Students
Many of my students come to 3rd grade lacking specific math skills. This is partly due to life circumstances beyond their control. Many are impacted by poverty and language barriers. ALL 3rd-grade students receive free lunch. One-third of them are ELL learners.
I teach in a low-income school district with a very diverse population.
This year, I would like to continue using my class as a Math Workshop. I anticipate being able to deliver a more effective curriculum to students. While some students are using the iPad minis to access our online math curriculum at their ability level, I will be able to meet with small groups to differentiate learning.
Third grade students can further close their achievement gaps if they continue to learn using various resources that are interesting, engaging, and interactive.
My Project
Our school has various laptop carts. However, there are not enough laptops available for third-grade usage on a daily basis. Your donation will allow us to have more technology in our classroom which will lead to an increase in student achievement. Students will be assigned specific skills to practice online to close their math deficiencies.
Most of our students do not have access to a computer in their homes, therefore having these two Apple minis in our classroom will allow them an opportunity to interact with technology while learning in a fun and alternative way.
Using technology to enhance the math curriculum will prepare students for greater possibilities in the future (i.e., high school, college, STEM careers, etc.).
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
