My Students

My fourth graders were born to succeed. Many of my students come from a low socioeconomic background, but this in no way inhibits their desire to learn. They love to learn, discover, and explore in the classroom. They dream to go to college, secure great careers, and be all they can. There is not anything that can hold them back.

Our school is a small, tight-knit community that serves students from K-5th grades.

Not only are the teachers responsible for teaching the students, but we want to build relationships with the families so the students are being supported from all ends of the spectrum. The students that come through our school deserve every opportunity that becomes available, and when they are given opportunity, they soar!

My Project

Our world has become technology driven. My students have access to a program that includes over 2,000 digital leveled-readers that we can use during our small reading groups. However we currently have to print copies of the books on paper, and they quickly become worn from wear and tear. If my students could access the program on an iPad they could use the tablet to make notes, read, listen to, and highlight information in the text. Preparing students for college and career readiness is key and technology is at the forefront of most career paths. Most college textbooks are now available online! Teaching my students these skills will be beneficial for the remainder of their educational career.

Technology is a great way to engage students!

I can not only use the iPads to have my students read, but to practice foundational skills such as committing math facts to memory. Since many of my students do not have access to computers at home, this is a great way for them to experience how technology can relate to and enhance their learning. My students love to learn, and having these iPads in the classroom will only add fuel to their learning fire!
