Got Technology? Support our English Language Learners!
My students need an iPad and and 2 Osmo kits to experience hands-on learning and interact with technology for individual practice on their level. Will you help us grow?
My students are EAGER TO LEARN AND GROW! We stay together as a class for 2 years, both 2nd and 3rd grade. We are family. They encourage each other, embrace differences, and unite to reach their goals. We laugh, cry, but most of all we foster a love for learning. Help us expand our opportunities!
School is a safe place for many of my students.
I have students in foster care, residing in homeless shelters, hungry, and so much more. Yet, they come to school eager to learn, excited about what the day has in store and smiling from ear to ear. Nestled in the middle of a low income community an unsettling amount of my students are burdened with financial and parental destitution. Further many are not afforded proper language skills typically instilled at home. Our school has a high English Language Learner and transient population. They need experience with technology on their academic level to engage and fuel their love for learning. I hope to take this grant and use it to help advance their knowledge of the language and further their interest in the educational technology that is available today. I wish to augment my one iPad in order to further their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Our school community is one filled with love and devotion to each and every student.
My Project
My students need an iPad and and 2 Osmo kits. Imagine your loved one in a classroom with 25 other kids. All you want is for them to love learning and have fun while doing it. They come home from school excited about going to the Library and working on the computers to create projects. The problem is Library is only once a week. These students need daily practice to build their confidence and compete with in life. This grant can change this dream into a reality. My ELL students could practice vocabulary and writing skills with the help of the Osmo tools. With one of the highest ELL populations in the district, my school must be creative so every student is reached. This project gives them a chance to expand their way of thinking and interacting during the school day. A chance to find answers to their questions and take action to expand their learning experience. A chance to close the language gap and discover the opportunities that await them. It gives them a chance to grow.
Osmo allows collaborative and individual interactive learning through the iPad.
My students will use hands on manipulative's to spell words, solve puzzles, and challenge their way of thinking. They will use the iPad and Osmo to enhance their individual and partner work while building their vocabulary and learning the English language. This project is beneficial to all students with a diverse set of skills and ability. Experience with technology is vital in today's generation.
