My students are participating in a special program within our school. Our Title I school serves about nine hundred diverse students. We also house many special programs. One of the special programs we offer is for gifted learners. This program has around three hundred students in grades six through eight, and I teach about one hundred and fifty-five of them. I have the unique opportunity to teach advanced math to sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students. I strongly believe good math skills will open up doors for my students to do anything they want in the future.
My students enjoy learning and look forward to being exposed to new material.
They are inquisitive, hardworking, and are always looking for new challenges. My students also love to play fun and interesting games in their free time and like to give back to the community. All of my kids have enjoyed the extras I can give them because of donors like you. They are always amazed at how lucky they are to have such wonderful items that enhance their learning. They have been excited about all of the community service projects and kindness acts we have done throughout the school.
My Project
As I prepare to have kids back in the classroom in December, I would love to add a device to help kids on Zoom stay connected with us in the classroom. This device is supposed to help an iPad track my moves while I am teaching at my SMARTboard. It also has microphones that will help my kids on Zoom hear me much better while I am teaching at my board. This will keep me active by helping me not sit at my desk and teach. It will help my students have a better experience during Zoom and in person because I can still move around for them.
It is going to be a new experience for everyone, and I want to make it as easy and seamless as possible.
Having a device to track moves and makes our voices better heard will help those kids coming into our classrooms, via the web. I always appreciate all of the support given to my classroom. I want to make sure I have the tools I need to make the transition to hybrid easier for myself and students. I want to prepare before the kids come back in December. Thank you for checking out my project!
