My students are in a Title 1 school and need the right tools in order to compete with kids from higher income neighborhoods. Over 50% of my students are ESOL (English as a Second Language), making it more difficult to not only learn what is required of them but also a new language. Often, having money means having more opportunities to learn. My goal is to close that gap for my students with fun and innovating ways of learning that will make education meaningful and memorable. I hope that, given the chance to see what they can do without limits, my students will remember the lessons learned in my class in order to become successful adults.
My Project
Every day my students come to school ready to learn. Learning requires some supplies and we need help having these supplies in our classroom. We would love to have access to a printer and toner because there are many, many learning activities and lessons that can be enhanced with copies. Unfortunately, most of my students do not have access to technology in their homes. They often complete projects in school or at their local library. Most of my students email me their projects or bring their projects on flash drives to print on the classroom printer. Students often use the printer to print pictures and graphs to go along with their projects.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
