My students need a classroom set of Chromebooks so that this valuable resource will always be available in our classroom for use with interactive software, for research and projects and to enhance mathematical understanding.
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Murrill's classroom raised $936
This project is fully funded
My Students
Our sixth grade is comprised of 130 amazing students, many of whom come from bilingual households and receive free or reduced price lunch.
Thriving in an ocean of opportunity, on last year's end of grade test, the shark team showed remarkable academic growth, regardless of demographics.
In fact, several of our learners made grade level proficiency in Language Arts and Math for the first time in several years. We need your assistance as we swim toward the shore of academic success.
My Project
Our sixth grade is comprised of 130 amazing students, many of whom come from bilingual households and or receive free or reduced price lunch. Last year, this group of learners showed remarkable academic growth regardless of demographics with several of them making grade level proficiency in Language Arts and Math for the first time in several years.
One key to their success was the use of computer resources in the classroom (IXL, Ten Marks, and Khans Academy).
The shortfall is that we have to share a computer cart with four classes on our grade level and the technology department in our school can pull the carts to meet testing needs in the building. We were recently funded for five (5) computers. We would like your help in acquiring five (5) additional computers for the Math Class as we work to reach our goal of a classroom set.
More than half of students from low‑income households
