I teach fifth grade at a Title I school and we will be teaching virtual this year! Since funding for instructional supplies and classroom needs has been cut, I am hoping you can help!
Almost all, 80% of my classroom students are low-income and living in poverty with almost half of my students being English language learners.
My families have very little money for lunch and snacks, so donating money for classroom use is, understandably, not a priority. Now, where will the funding come from to get the resources they need to become more engaged learners who feel valued? I am hoping you, a wonderful donor, are the answer to that question!
My Project
Teaching face to face with students is always the best plan, but currently, it isn't the safest. Our district is going virtual and that means I am teaching from my home office. I am in need of tools to effectively engage students in learning about our human body systems during synchronized learning so that students can "be in class" with me while explaining. The virtual shirt will allow them to "see" inside my body with the use of the lens of their computer camera! Using the Merge cube will allow me to pull out "body parts" such as the heart in a 3D and they can view it up close. Having 3D objects to hook them into learning is key for engaging students through a computer screen!
More than three‑quarters 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
