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
I am lucky to be able to to teach amazing Pre-K4 students in Houston, Texas at a Title 1 school! Our school serves 860 students in Pre-K 3- 4th grade in the vibrant Sunnyside community.
Resources at our school are hard to come by, but even more so with recent flooding and hurricanes that have devastated our area.
Our student body is 85% African-American and 14% Hispanic.
Our school's faculty of more than 60 dedicated teachers, provide a rigorous college-preparatory education with an emphasis on values and character.
My Project
My students begin testing in Kindergarten on iPads, so it is typically very difficult for them to navigate and show what they know on these tests, having never experienced or been exposed to technology like that before! Early exposure to technology is a great way to ensure students have the tools and skills they need to succeed in school, and live choice filled lives!
These iPads will allow students to engage with, and introduce them to, technology in a hands on way.
These iPads will also set them up for success next year- allowing them to showcase what they know effectively during their testing!
