My students need 5 additional response clickers to make a complete class set so that every student can test their own learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dorlis's classroom raised $600

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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
8th Grade Students taking Algebra - what a challenge! If they can have more in class practice with their teacher, concepts are more easily understood. These additional 5 remotes will help complete a class set so every student can have one - and test their own individual knowledge.
Our school is in California, and my students come from diverse backgrounds.
Our biggest obstacle is that we have almost 90% of our students on free and reduced lunch, and they do not have the resources at home to support their learning. We try to learn topics in a variety of ways so that all students can understand the Algebra topics being presented - which is difficult since most students cannot think in the abstract nor have had the life experiences to extrapolate from. They are all terrific, hard-working and exceptional - and I give them my best each and every day.
My Project
Right now, I have a response set that is incomplete and with these additional five response units, every student will be able to have their own to use. They love using them as they get immediate feedback on what they are working on. We take a topic, break it down, and check for understanding to see with the response units to make sure everyone is understanding the topic. It helps me, the teacher, see right away who understands and who doesn't. It helps me to group students together to have those students who understand what is happening help "teach" those who are not. Immediate feedback is the key - in order to keep students engaged in the learning, we (the teachers) need to provide immediate feedback so that they can realize if they are on the right track.
All I can say is that this will help my students a great deal.
Actual practice is always the best. I tell my students that when Shaquille O'Neal couldn't make a free throw in the early part of his basketball career, he had to go out and practice until he could do them on a regular basis. That is what helps a student learn - practice and perseverance. I am hopeful that my project will be fulfilled as it will make a difference in my students' lives.
