My Students

Every day I walk into an adventure! My 20 friends are the most caring and energetic second-grade students I have ever met. Each one of them has a personal story. Still, every day, no matter what is going on at home, they greet me with a giant hug and a smile.

Today, I am not just reaching out for my current kiddos, but on behalf of all the second graders that will ever walk thru my door!

Our school is a Title I school located in a decent sized community that is busting at the seams. The school that I teach at is one of 5 elementary schools. We have approximately 500 students in our building.

My friends are a transient group, traveling between schools. Due to this and the income hardship of most of these families, we provide free breakfast to all and free/reduced lunch to those that need an extra hand.

Every year the teachers shuffle around so we can incorporate new families into our loving community. Most of them are English Language Learners and some are just shuffling to find a new home. Every one of my students matter. They all are special in their own way!

My Project

As we move into this year with the possibility of school closure and potentially going virtual like so many others schools I have noticed my reality. I need a reliable laptop that can withstand streaming live lessons and video calls.

Because of COVID-19, the school year brings on new challenges and it is now more important than ever to have technology that works and is reliable.

Having this laptop will allow my students to learn visually and interactively, providing learning stimulation to all students. This laptop will help support my teaching to the visual learners in my classroom. By having this laptop, it could help my students be active learners. By using the laptop, I could provide excellent access for ELLs to images/pictures from websites.

Please help us with this project! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas!
