Our school is located in a middle class neighborhood in California, and most of my students live within the school boundaries.
The school is distinguished from other schools by its stimulating and nurturing environment, which recognizes and celebrates individual differences.
Our school community exhibits the vision, courage, and passion necessary to enrich the lives of our children. My students range from struggling to advanced, with most at grade level. The love of learning is evident in my students' enthusiasm when they are able to read. This is what every teacher wants to see, students that are excited about reading.
My Project
The 21st century has shown that young children want to learn more when it involves technology. We are limited with funding at our school this year and are in need of many of the technologies that children use today to be successful in their academics now and in the future. At my school, we have a reading program called Accelerated Reader (AR) which affords opportunities for the struggling student as well as for the most advanced students. We only have four computers in the classroom, and I would like to see even more students take advantage of the AR program throughout the school day. With the 7 Apple iPads all children in my classroom will be able to have the opportunity each day to use the AR reading program.
Your generous contribution to this project will not only be enhancing the education of the children this year, but for years to come and the many students I will have in the future.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and commitment to our children.
