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
I teach 20 hard working, amazing first grade students in a low income, small East Texas town. They love to work with hands-on activities, make creative art projects, play games, and learn through technology. My students do not respond as positively to worksheets or seat work activities as they do to physically manipulating skills with manipulative's or using a device.
I strive to make my classroom a fun and exciting, but also engaging learning environment for all of my students.
My Project
This Chrome books will help our classroom immensely. Currently I have floppy disc student computers in my classroom that do not work, or the internet runs extremely slow on. I spend most of my time during stations working on the computers, losing valuable learning time. Our class would greatly benefit from these Chrome books. Not only will they take up much less room, they will create an engaging, fun, learning station for my students.
They will use these computers for both literacy and math stations to reinforce skills learned through websites and apps.
They will also be able to take Accelerated Reading tests on these new computers.
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
