I teach a wonderful group of 3rd graders in an inner-city school where 100% of students receive free school lunch. Most of my students come from a family background where they lack academic and financial support to enrich their academic studies. The majority of these students come from families where parents are too busy working and lack the language or education to help them with their schoolwork. Therefore, the role of the teacher is extremely vital to their learning.
Despite these setbacks, my students are motivated learners who rely heavily on teachers and school support to help them become successful in life.
Our school motto is to be respectful, responsible, and scholarly. In order to help them achieve these goals, I must provide them with the best classroom environment, full of the proper supplies and guidance.
My Project
Unfortunately, my school is still lagging behind on the technology of the future! A lot of us teachers have to rely on our own resources or family to bring technology in the classroom. At the same time, I am grateful that we get to visit a computer lab once a week. However, they do not have high quality or working earphones for students to use while there. Our school has spent a lot of money to purchase good reading programs to help them better prepare for the annual standardized testing. Therefore, headphones are very essential to every single child using the computer.
Having the headphones for all students will allow them to focus, concentrate, and learn while reading at their individual levels.
That is very essential for their reading to progress! The headphones will allow minimal interruptions as they learn in the reading program.
