My students need Chromebooks and a charging stand to help them access various websites and resources connected to the texts that they are reading and that will help with supplementing and extending the curriculum.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
The diversity in my classroom is astounding. I teach a class made up of two grade levels (4th and 5th graders), diverse learners, and English language learners. When you walk into my room, you will witness what differentiated instruction looks like. Students are working on skills that target their grade levels, their learning plans, their communication abilities, and even their specific interests.
Imagine coming to school and being given a diverse set of tools and resources specific to your needs.
It is an amazing space to be in and these are the opportunities I try to provide students with every day. I work in a school with a very high low-income student population in Chicago, Illinois. Many of my students have very limited resources in their own homes and are in constant need of ways to compensate for the things that they lack at home. Like all students living in the United States, my students hold the American dream of success but they just need access to the tools that bridge this possibility.
My Project
My students need computers in order to be able to read texts and engage in learning on various platforms. These Chromebooks will help my students access a diverse body of literature and nonfiction texts that they do not have access to at home or at school. Imagine giving students opportunities to read texts that interest them and that are at their reading levels! Also, at our school all of our print textbooks come with online resources and supports that students need access to in order to be successful.
With the computers, students will be able to listen to an audio version of the text, read texts at their individual levels, and even practice specific reading skills.
In math, students will be able to access a virtual math classroom where they can watch a video of the lesson, practice math problems online, and even complete their assignments! These invaluable online resources are right there for students but unfortunately, many of them lack the technology necessary to access them.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
