My 3rd grade students are eager, creative, hardworking, and thoughtful children that love engaging with technology. My classroom has a vast range of diverse needs, academic levels, and individual goals. I have students reading anywhere from a kindergarten to sixth grade reading level. With this wide range of academic ability, finding passages that are appropriate for each of my students' current reading levels can be very challenging. No matter where my students are currently, each and every one of them love coming to school each day.
I have a very sweet and hardworking group of students who thirst for knowledge each day.
My students inspire me to try new activities in the classroom, as well as push them beyond their current academic levels. My students thrive off of high expectations and always surpass what I ask of them. My students all have wonderful personalities, funny quirks, and put a smile on my face each day in the classroom. It is a small community, so many of my students have been with each other in school for years; which makes them a close-knit community of learners. I want only the best for my students!
My Project
Having 6 tablets in our classroom would greatly impact my students' learning in a positive way! As a Title1 school, we are limited on the resources available for our students. Many of my students come from a low-income home and families are supportive, but unable to provide them with additional educational resources at home. I strive to make my classroom one that is both engaging and focused on incorporating 21st-century technology skills. Although we do have desktop computers in my classroom, they are very limited and do not provide all of my students with the opportunity to engage in educational apps, literary websites and tools that can really push them to the next academic level.
My students would love the ability to use tablets to access numerous educational apps and websites focused on reading.
I have a wide range of reading levels and academic abilities in my classroom. Having these tablets would open so many doors to accessing academic material that is specific to each students' academic needs. I am envisioning using reading websites such as ReadWorks, Common Lit, NewsELA, National Geographic, Scholastic and so many more engaging and literature-rich apps to benefit my students. This resource would absolutely impact my classroom in so many ways.
