My Students
Many of them have experienced challenges in their lives and have difficulty coming to school and concentrating on the task at hand so learning needs to be fun and factual. Our classes serve students with a range of challenges, including homelessness, crime and violence, and specific learning disabilities. The typical student in my class reads at a 2nd-grade level and many struggle with basic number sense. 90% of our students are African American or Latino receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
My students attend a Title I school and for this very reason, parents cannot afford to buy computers for a child.
My Project
Living in poverty, they have learned to use less. They lack resources, access to technology, and experience different routines and upbringings. Most of them are on free or reduced price lunches. My students need four laptops to allow them to do interactive math and science mandated by the district. Through project-based learning activities, students will apply the laptops according to their different learning styles. The laptops will provide a podium to study more about our daily inquiry. Students will be able to take advantage of interactive lessons and choose how to study and research topics based on their own preferences and learning styles. With an average of eighteen to twenty-five students per class, it normally becomes difficult to find a possible way to provide computer access to all groups and students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
