I teach 23 first graders in a low-income/high poverty district in East Texas. My students come from working families that value education but do not always have the resources or educational background to provide reinforcement of skills learned at school. When they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. Despite the challenges both in and out of the classroom, I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are clever, imaginative and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. They deserve the best education possible. These students need materials that will help keep their interest and motivate their desire to learn.
My Project
My students love to research and play learning games on the computer. BUT our computers are so old! My students have learned how to look up the information they are wanting to know on our classroom computer. We do not have enough computers in our classroom.
This new computer will allow students to use computers during station time.
My students will benefit from the educational games available on the computer as well as research information about skills learned. There are numerous websites that reinforce the skills learned in class. Students love to practice money, shapes, adding and subtracting during math stations and read books or practice comprehension tests during literacy stations. My students will be able to explore information beyond what can be provided in the classroom.
Treasure box items are needed in our classroom for behavior rewards.
More than half 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
