My students need six Kindle Fire tablets with protective cases to access online Intelligent Adaptive Learning programs that help them achieve better, faster, math and reading proficiency.
My students ask every day to use the laptops and play math games, read, play spelling and vocabulary games, and learn at their own level. However, this doesn't happen daily because we have 3 laptops for 24 students. If our class had more technology tools (tablets), we would be able to rotate daily.
My school has approximately 85% of our students on free or reduced-price lunch.
Due to the need, our district began providing free breakfast to all students this year. My students are energetic and helpful and have a strong desire to improve academically. We differentiate instruction based on the academic need of each student as much as possible. Currently we have 5 very distinct learning groups in our classroom, with students academically at a Kindergarten level all the way to students working on a 3rd grade level.
My Project
My students will use the tablets in numerous ways. They will play math games to practice math skills, read books to practice fluency and comprehension, access Spelling City to play spelling and vocabulary games based on their phonics level, and do their science research project at the end of the year. All of these "play times" will be on their individual levels because the programs we will be accessing are Intelligent Adaptive Learning programs.
If we are able to get this project funded, it would give my students the opportunity to take ownership of their learning and boost their confidence since the skills will be individualized to their needs.
With your donation to my classroom, my students be able to have access to a tablet every single day.
