Most of my students do not have access to a computer at home. My students need access to iPads to take comprehension quizzes on the books they have read.
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
My students love to read books and take comprehension quizzes on the books they have read. Unfortunately, many of them do not have access to a computer at home and can't go on the educational sites to keep them well engaged and make progress like they would if they had access.
My students are 8-10 years old and are hungry, not only for the food in the cafeteria, but also for the lessons in their books.
They are very competitive when it comes to reading and taking online quizzes on the books that they have read. The educational sites that our school uses are accessible from home but unfortunately, many of them do not have access to a computer at home and can't go on the educational sites to keep them well engaged and make progress like they would if they had access. By donating, it would be highly beneficial to the kids.
My Project
Not only will my students use the iPads to go onto the educational Reading programs which will help bring our school grade up but also to give them extra practice in Math (multiplication, time elapse, division, fractions, etc.) while keeping them engaged.
By giving underprivileged students the same opportunities as those in affluent schools, it will not only boost their self esteem and confidence but also have a positive impact on their grades, standardized testing and benefit their learning in general.
