My Students
My students love, love the laptop we have for our classroom. Now we need a safe place to store it, with a safe place to use it and some air to help keep it clean.
I teach in an inner city urban school district.
We are a Title 1 school and 95% of the students qualify for free/ reduced meals. The population includes 80% African Americans, 10% Whites, and approximately 10% of the population is from other countries. Our school is a career orientated school. We do our best to include all of our students no matter where they are from or what their skill levels are. Being a special education teacher I assist those students who have special needs to be successful in what career options they choose. I have approximately 30 students that I teach American Literature & Composition and Environmental Science too. These students have a wide range of learning disabilities, from Learning Disabled to Autism. Our state has just adopted a new set of standards that resemble the Common Core Standards. We are currently finding new ways to teach the standards so they master the skills in all subjects.
My Project
I have created a atmosphere in my classroom of respect of each other and out things we have in our classroom. We are in need of a case to provide a safe place to use our laptop and a safe place for it to be stored and to be transported when we need. We have also found that we have a need of air to assist in keeping our laptop clean.
Having a place to use our laptop and a place to keep it safe is what we need!
It goes hand in hand with me creating a classroom of respect not only of each other, but with the wonderful things we have and are getting for our classroom. This gives my students a sense of ownership, which I believe we all need to build a great self image.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
