Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I teach at a Title I school. Half of my students read at a 1st-grade reading level and they are in 3rd grade. I love that my students are always so eager to learn. They enjoy sharing strategies that they learned with their classmates.

My students love when I used hand-on activities and technology to teach them.

It really inspires them to want to learn and keeps them focused on the lesson that I am teaching.

I tell them that they are American so they can do anything that they set their minds to. Because at the end of American it says I can.

I am teaching my students to be thinkers. I am constantly asking them to explain how they solve problems and to provide evidence.

My Project

With the 3rd grade reading law going into effect this year the students need to be able to pass the state test or prove that they can read on grade level in order to matriculate to the next grade.

Providing these computers to the students will really inspire the students to want to learn.

This will also give me the opportunity to work with a smaller group of students so I can differential their lessons, while the other students are working on the computer.

I will use the computers to give my students extra practice with reading by using Read Theory and Reading Works websites to help improve the students reading skills. Students need plenty of practice on the computer so that taking the test on the computer will be natural for them.

I will also use the computers to have my students practice on Khan Academy to reinforce the Eureka math lessons that I am teaching. This will help the students improve their math skills.

Lastly, I will use the computers for my Academic Games team to improve their math, reading, and social studies skills. This will help them to be more competitive and knowledgeable when they attend tournaments.

Working on the computer will also help the students to be prepared for the world. Students must learn how to use technology in order to be successful now and in the future.
