Ms. Hyde from Newark NJ is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Reading in the 21st Century

My students need IPADS to help engage them in reading. I teach an inclusion classroom in 4th grade and have students reading at a Kindergarten level. I need to incorporate technology to keep them engaged!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I work in a school that is at 100% poverty level. My students are so amazing, and I ask for basic donations such as pencils and tissues, but I do not ask for much more given the financial situation most of their families are in. Most of my students are not at grade level with their reading and writing skills. I see students struggle and become disengaged when reading. I am always trying to come up with a new and innovative way to keep my students engaged.

My Project

I teach an inclusion fourth grade class at a charter school that is at 100% poverty level. This means that I have both general education and special education students in my classroom.

Although, I teach 4th grade, the majority of my students are reading below grade level.

I have some reading at the Kindergarten level. I notice that I lose engagement for my struggling readers as they become frustrated. I would use the different reading apps on the IPADS to increase student engagement during lessons. I would also love to use the IPADS as an incentive for my students. I want them to enjoy going on the IPADS and use the different apps to create their own book reports. I not only believe that I will see more student engagement but I believe I will have more confident and passionate readers.

I also will use the IPADs with mathematics. There are a lot of programs available and my school uses a curriculum that has an online program available. The only thing my students need is a computer and internet.
