A typical day in our classroom is always busy! A mixture of learning and laughter, which always makes the day go by fast! I have a group of students who are excited to learn and eager for attention.
My 4th grade students come from a rural, Missouri school district with a high poverty rate and many mixed ethnic backgrounds.
Our school has over 200 students from Pre-K to 5th grade. My students are witty and intelligent with limited financial means.
My Project
This project will allow us to maximize the use of technology in order to differentiate learning in our classroom. I want my students to be confident using technology to reach their academic goals at school!! Apple TV will allow me to model for my students.
My kids still have huge obstacles to overcome at home.
When they are in my classroom, it won't be that different from any school in the fanciest parts of the country. They'll have access to a few more of the resources they need.
More than half 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
