Help me give my students access to my online classroom from home during this pandemic with a tablet of their own. I want my students to be able to access my digital lessons, read alouds, and assignments daily.
My students come from a neighborhood of severe poverty and hardship. They come to school with a smile every day in spite of some of the hardships they are facing at home. They are ready to learn and engage in activities.
We have some very special and fragile children at our school.
While we deal with some intense emotional and behavioral issues, we have so many moments of happiness and laughter with these students that I hope we are making a difference in their lives. Our staff is one of a kind. Our teachers work so hard to get through to these kids and do whatever it takes to help them come closer to success.
I want my students to have the same opportunities as all children, and while a lot of my kids have not been read to much in their first years, this listening center can provide them with a read-aloud while I work intensely with small groups of students on developing fundamental literacy skills.
My Project
We are going through an educational crisis. Teaching in a high poverty area a lot of my students cannot access my online classroom and virtual learning I have worked so hard to create due to a lack of technology and access to devices to use. I will make sure if this project is funded that every one of my students receive their tablet even if I have to personally deliver. Please, please, PLEASE consider donating to this project. It is by FAR the most important one I have ever done. You will be providing my little kiddos with access to so much and access to their teacher as well!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
