My Students
A typical day in my classroom is full of learning experiences. I don't provide my students with lessons; I provide them with learning experiences. By the end of the school year, I want all of my students to be full of the necessary information to make them successful in the real world.
I am a committed Baltimore City Public School teacher that is willing to work hard to be a great teacher, however, I cannot do it alone.
We are a Title I School where ninety-nine percent of my students are African American from many diverse backgrounds including including English Language Learners, military families to single families. These factors don't phase them.
When you look at them you may see children who have already led a hard life and come from even harder neighborhoods. I would describe my school as a hidden gem. I think it provides a safe haven for children who are otherwise faced with tasks, responsibilities, and experiences that far exceed their years in maturity and experience. My school is the place where many of these children come for a meal, serenity, and more.
My Project
My students need a new projector for our classroom. Math, Science, Social Studies, and ELA are all critical needs areas and my students struggle with all of them. A projector is a vital part of a classroom.
A lot of my students are visual learners and they need to be able to see the different concepts that we are working on, presented in a variety of different ways.
This can be done through the use of instructional videos, Smart Board lessons and interactive sites online. We will use the projector every day. Having a new projector would also allow my students to be able to present projects using such tools as Prezi and powerpoint. Technology is a big part of every day like and in the classroom it is an enhancement that we need. My current projector is at least 5 years old. Please help in funding my project.
