My Students

Our school is a small, rural Pre-K through fifth-grade school with a student population of 246. The students here work hard and seem to always have a positive attitude about school. They enjoy learning new things and being a part of the community here. Being in a rural school makes it difficult for our students to participate in team sports that are offered in the closest town. Many of our students come from low-income homes, and they are faced with difficult situations.

Our students have good hearts, and our faculty and staff strive to give them as many opportunities for success as we possibly can.

Being at school is sometimes their only opportunity to see a different world other than the one that they live in every day.

My Project

The MacBook will provide my students with accurate, instant feedback. The MacBook will allow me to create Google Docs, Google Slides, and PDFs for my students to facilitate their learning process. My students need efficient feedback on their virtual learning, and the MacBook will help make this possible.

I will be able to interact with my students throughout this pandemic as if we are still in class.

The MacBook will provide an engaging and meaningful curriculum for my students. At the same time, the MacBook will allow me to be able to keep up with all my students' needs. The MacBook will be able to open several platforms so that I can monitor all my students live during their lessons. The MacBook will be transferred to the classroom to continue to enhance my students' education after the pandemic.
