My students need tablets for cutting-edge learning apps while I work with struggling students in small groups. Small group instruction is a proven method for differentiating instruction based on individual student needs.

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
My third grade students arrive in class every day with smiles on their faces, ready to learn. But many of these same students rarely see their parents because they work 80 hours a week to make ends meet.
They might be homeless.
They might speak English as a second language. They may have experienced traumatic episodes in their childhood that affect them emotionally and academically during the school day. These are just a few obstacles they overcome every day while they work hard to achieve their potential. And they smile while doing it!
My Project
These tablets will enable students to learn on their own using math and reading apps, which will then allow me to work directly with struggling students in smaller groups.
Small group instruction is essential for differentiating to meet each child's needs.
No child learns the same, but every child is capable of learning. Any child can learn anything at any age; as teachers, we must meet each child at their level. By allowing most of the class to use learning apps after teaching the class as a whole group, I can work directly with the remaining students who need extra attention.
More than half of students from low‑income households
