My Students

Fourth grade is a difficult transition for most students. The upcoming school year will require lots of joy, fun, and creativity, as COVID presented us with many challenges and gaps in learning. At my school, fourth-grade students have multiple teachers because their classes are departmentalized. The level of thinking greatly intensifies in fourth grade. This is partly due to learning deficits and life circumstances beyond their control. A great majority of my students are impacted by poverty and language barriers. 100% of my students receive free lunch. One-third of my students are ELL learners. Most of them are eager to learn but need to experience more joy to push to the next level.

My Project

At the present time, we are out of school due to Hurricane Ida. This has been our reality for the past week. Due to this circumstance, my students have been temporarily displaced and have had a pause in their daily learning. Helping to fund this project will allow my students to have tablets to check out to use at home during times like these. The donated tablets will help us to close achievement gaps because students will have an opportunity to use our online resources and curriculum for continuous learning.
