With many new students arriving from Puerto Rico, my students will need extra support and supplies. My students have been affected by Hurricane Maria, some some students have lost their homes, family members and more. The students at my school come from a working class neighborhood that is very well integrated. They are every color of the rainbow and come from multiple backgrounds. One thing that they have in common is that many of their families are working multiple jobs and having trouble making ends meet.
Teachers, counselors, and other staff members frequently purchase basic need items for students who are not able to receive them from their families.
This school uses a program of catching students doing the right thing. There is an ongoing conversation about "being a bucket filler" by doing good things. They receive incentive "bucks" for good behavior and deeds.
My Project
My new students have received new Kindles and need cases to keep them safe. Students can learn without thinking they might drop and break the new Kindles, learning with no worries.
Students can learn better with technology knowing it's OK if they drop the Kindles, and their new cases will protect them .
Students will also need to keep the Kindles and the headphones clean by using electronic wipes. Keeping our technology clean will cut down on spreading germs and getting other students sick.
We would also like travel bags. So that the students who do not have computers at home will be able to check one out. They will be able to take the Kindle home for the night or the weekend. Students will be able to work on reading and math at home. They can practice and improve their learning, while they are at home.
