Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The late Steve Jobs once said, "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." Everyday I remind my first graders that they are world change makers. My first graders are absolutely amazing. They are full of energy and highly inquisitive with a thirst for exploration. Since the pandemic this is the first full in-person classroom experience for many of my students.

We are in a Title I school in a high poverty area.

The vast majority of my students are English Language Learners and reading well below the expectation for first graders. They deserve to have access to resources to enhance their learning experiences.

My Project

I am requesting four MicroSoft Surface Go computers, four laptop stands, a printer and drum. These devices will help my students become independent researchers in our global environment. The devices will be used across all content areas within the classroom. These devices will give my students the opportunity to access the digital reading and math interventions as well as research projects in social studies and science.

Along with their research, I want my students to have ownership over their writing.

Having a reliable printer in the classroom is essential. There are extended periods of time that we are unable to have hard copies of printed decodable books because the one copier not working in the school.

I have students who work best while standing and I want to be inclusionary in my technology center. Thus using a standing desk option for some of my students. Due to the pandemic, we are unable to go on field trips outside of the building.

With these laptops my students will be able to engage in virtual field trips to various places such as museums and NASA space centers. Please help promote critical thinking skills among first grade students.
