My students need a Samsung Tablet so they can integrate technology and enhance their understanding of core concepts.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arnold's classroom raised $701

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
Students are inundated with technology, and teachers must change the way we deliver curriculum. We must compete with YouTube, Xbox, iPods and smartphones to keep students engaged. Why fight technology when we can use it?
My students have all been identified as highly gifted.
These children have special needs and require a differentiated instructional program to provide them with a challenging and rigorous academic setting. My students are inquisitive and thoughtful. They love to learn! It is up to me to bring in as much supplemental materials as possible to stimulate their minds and encourage their exploration of new concepts.
Since my students tend to perform very well on standardized tests, they are often overlooked and receive very little funding to support their educational program. Our district provides us only $15 per student to purchase supplemental materials for the entire program.
We are a public school comprised of three classrooms. Our small school shares a campus with the resident school for this area. Our school is located in a mostly middle to low socioeconomic area. We have a very strong community and parent base who are all vested in providing support for student achievement.
My Project
I plan to use a Samsung Tablet to incorporate technology into my classroom. The Samsung Tablet can connect to my SmartBoard to display lessons that will allow my students to interact with the latest educational apps. Using the Samsung Tablet, my students will be able to touch the big screen to a virtual frog, tour a virtual 3-D model of a California Mission, and speak to students from all over the world. Some of the children are even interested in creating apps. A Samsung Tablet is essential for taking my classroom to the next frontier!
With a Samsung Tablet, these students could have an opportunity to interact with the most cutting-edge and engaging educational technology of our time.
After they oooh and aaah over each lesson, their minds often leap beyond the program to insights I could never have planned. Your support would open the window for their explorations and power their innovations.
More than half of students from low‑income households
