Hello! I am a third grade teacher in a low income, Title One school district. We are a very diverse community. Our population consists of Hispanic, African American, and Caucasian students. My classroom is a Team Teaching Inclusion setting with myself and a Special Education teacher sharing a classroom. Special needs and general education students spend their entire day together allowing for 100% inclusion throughout our school day. I have been so fortunate to teach in this community for 20 years and I absolutely love it! It has been a dream to have students make a difference in the world by working towards a paperless classroom. By using technology in place of paper, we can save trees and have a positive impact on our planet!
My Project
Did you know nearly 4 billion trees are cut down each year to make paper? After exploring the devastation deforesting has on our planet, our classroom has taken steps to become a minimal paper environment. We use whiteboards instead of paper. Our goal is to continue to incorporate small, electronic tablets, thus eliminating multiple printouts. Unfortunately, we have only 6 Amazon Tablets shared amongst our 22 students.
Through this project, our students are discovering they have the power to make a difference.
Having several more tablets would bring us closer to our goal of being paperless, save precious trees, and continue make a positive impact on the world!
