We are a Title I school with 100% free breakfast and lunch. We are a newly combined school with 1,100 students. The majority of my students come from neighborhoods that are struck with high poverty. Some of my students are English language learners and some are special education. My students really learn to love school and learning! But many come with challenges. They are below grade level as early as kindergarten. We have a tough job when we have to teach students their names when they don't even know their alphabets, but we overcome those obstacles with a lot of love, discipline, and hard work.
The school I teach at is one of the largest in our district, with over 1,000 students. This means that we share many of our resources with others and have limited access to desperately needed technology.
My students will need access to computers for many different reasons.
One of the best literacy programs that my students benefit from each and every year is called Star Fall. This program takes kindergarten students who can't read and helps them learn how to. They can use headphones to listen to sounds and have stories read to them so they can hear fluency. We are making progress. This second computer will increase student access.
