My Students

My students come from low income family situations and do not have new technology at home. School is their only option to use new technology to learn.

My students are wonderful, excited learners who look forward to coming to school and learning new things.

They love working at small learning centers in partners to review the weekly skills. They are super energetic and full of love, live, and laughter.

My Project

My students need Early Childhood, Lifecycle, Number Train, American Presidents, Ocean Creatures and Zoo Animals Puzzles and Link N Learn Links and a Toshiba Tablet to create engaging literacy and math centers. These supplies with help engage the learners and give them the opportunity to use something new and fun in the classroom! The students love using technology and there is not enough technology provided in our school for the students to use. The students are so excited to meet with partners and review all of their weekly skills at small group learning centers.

This is important to create a fun learning school environment!

Having these supplies available in the classroom, will help me work with students on an individual basis. The students love working in small groups and using technology to review their skills.
