Help me give my students a great way for me to teach effectively while at home via Google Hangouts and Seesaw; the same platforms they are using at home with a Chromebook.

My Students
I am the special education co-teacher in a first grade class and a second grade class in an urban school district in New York. Each class has over 20 students total with 7 of the students having special needs in each and at least one student is a student where English is a new language. Free breakfast and free lunch are available to every child in our district each day, which are now remotely served. Chromebooks and internet devices were given to each student in the district who needed one.
My students are creative, clever, and very enthusiastic about learning in and out of school.
The majority of the students in both classes read below grade level and perform below grade level in math. As of March 13th, my students started learning at home and will finish the school year doing distance learning. The students miss seeing their teachers and want to participate in Google Meets and are completing work on Seesaw. They never got to say goodbye and get the closure they need for the school year to end.
My Project
My students have been working very hard during the school closure. They have been working and completing work on Seesaw, Raz Kids, Zearn, and IXL. My students would benefit from me having a Chromebook that allows me to talk with them, create video lessons, and teach them virtually in a Google Hangout Meet.
This project will give me technology that will allow me to utilize the different virtual tools to help support my students and increase their remote learning experiences.
I will be able to do Google Meets where I can teach and review concepts with the students. I can do Reader's Theater with a small group of students on a Google Meet where I can present my screen so they can all see the play and read their parts together to increase fluency.
The backpack will allow me to transport the Chromebook back and forth between home and school. This will allow me to continue creating lessons for students for when we see each other in person, and if we continue distance learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
