Help me give my students options in their reading through text and technology.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Villarreal's classroom raised $616
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
As a school, we are challenged to keep our outstanding status of Level 1+ in Chicago Public Schools in consecutive years. As a public school, we have been ranked number 13 according to Chicago magazine and many of the other rankings are gifted/magnet schools.
Many of our students are from lower-income families, but that does not mean they don't work to their full potential.
In my classroom, I have students from various backgrounds in both culture and education.
Our school may not have an abundance of resources, but we are able to make many miracles happen.
My Project
Through the use of technology, the students will be able to access new content through different reading applications and programs. Through technology, they will not be limited to the books in our small classroom library, but the unlimited amount of resources available. The students will be able to further their mastery of technology and its advancements. Many students do not have the opportunity to work with technology in their own home, but with a dedicated Chromebook the class will have many opportunities.
Reading through a different point of view, the students will be able to gain a deeper passion for reading.
As the students progress through the different books they will value the importance of text and reading as a whole.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
