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
Imagine hearing a child say, "Can I take an apple home? We don't have a lot of food in my house."
My students are growing up in an unsafe, extremely economically disadvantaged neighborhood.
As Kindergartners, this is the foundation of their experience in school. My students are learning to love school through our exciting hands-on, experience-based classroom. Unfortunately, my school is lacking tremendously in resources and funding, and we were provided with hardly any materials.
My students need the proper materials, resources, and furniture to succeed in school!
My Project
As one component of our Kindergarten curriculum, we are using an online tool called "i-Ready." This program will use an adaptive method of providing individualized instruction, practice, and assessment to each student. Students will be able to focus on the skills that they need the most in both literacy and mathematics. In order to actually make this a reality, we are going to need computers to work on! Our classroom will be very center-based, and using the Chromebooks will be one center where children can work while the rest of the students work in various areas of the classroom.
Our students deserve access to the proper technology so that they can access educational programs that are available to them!
Nearly all 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
