My Students

My students are very energetic and enthusiastic children from many cultures. They are from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures. They have formed a "family" within our classroom. They do not exclude anyone, no matter who they are. They are full of wonder for everything around them. They have deep thoughts about every aspect of their lives and are open to new ideas. They laugh, sing, and enjoy anything that they can do with their hands!

They love receiving praise for anything, no matter how small it may seem.

They enjoy helping others and are more than willing to do so. Our school is in a high-poverty area, and we are in a small town near an Indian reservation.

My Project

The majority of my students are Native American and live on a reservation. These kids don't always have the technology at home to practice on and that's why it's so important to give them the opportunities to use it at school.

They need the chance to explore technology with the use of a computer mouse and privacy folders which will give my 4th graders exposure to prepare for the NM State test and their future.

It is important to have the tools that they need to do this. This is why I am asking for the computer mouse, privacy folders and other itmes to incorporate lessons with the students using the Chromebooks hands-on. This will allow them to learn, write more often, type, engage with one another, and practice their computer skills.
