My Students

My students walk into our classroom every day full of life ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. Often despite challenges students may face before arriving to school, they are so happy to arrive in their safe place full of amazing new things to learn and do.

I teach in a high poverty school in the Nation’s Capital where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their very best. They want to be in school to learn all they can so they will be successful one day.

My Project

The access to this new technology will foster a positive environment for engaging students and acquiring knowledge across all subjects. The use of the iPads and laptops will increase collaboration between students and creativity while working through different programs. During workstation time for math, reading, and language students will be engaged in different programs to help increase their proficiency levels. This is so critical during this kindergarten year as I am building the foundation for all other grade levels. We can use the iPads or laptops to open students' minds to research and explore many topics they may be interested in. We can take virtual tours around the world learning new information. We hope this project will increase the excitement about learning which will translate to increased attendance rate and increased skill performance. I can just picture the level of engagement, and maximized learning time!
