Help me give my students the education that they deserve, by having a work station to teach the class and differentiate for small groups.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Reid's classroom raised $1,490
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Many of the students that would benefit from the project are struggling readers and need extra support. All of the students in my class have specific learning differences which include autism, dyslexia, and other disabilities. Some of the students qualify as emotionally disturbed and have suffered serious trauma. More than fifty percent of my students live below the poverty line and have serious economic difficulty. Some of the students are homeless.
Many of my students have serious disadvantages but come to school with a mindset that they will succeed in even the bleakest circumstances.
One of my students has been homeless for over a year and takes showers at the YMCA before school. A few months ago his car got broken into and they lost everything that was important to them. Another student's father was murdered and the next day he showed up to class. When tears started rolling down his face, I asked him if he needed to leave. He told me that he didn't want to leave given that his father would have wanted him to be in class. These are just two of the students that I work with that continue to fight.
My Project
These resources will help create a more inviting and pleasant experience for the students in my classes. The monitors will allow me to have a screen dedicated to Zoom and the attendance while working on the other monitor with class materials. The microphone will ensure that my voice is clear and understood while the camera will make sure that easily seen. This equipment will also help me create videos that can review concepts for class.
As we work in a distance learning model, it is becoming more important that we be able to make classes as normal as possible by creating a space where human interaction is at the center of our practice.
Given the fact that we are having very culturally sensitive conversations, it is important that students know that they are being heard and their work is being seen.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
