I teach in a Title I district, where the majority of students receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. The students come to school ready to learn and know they are in a safe, loving environment. They come to us eager to learn and use the resources we have available to them. This group of students comes from backgrounds that lack appropriate resources for them to truly excel with their learning. The students are coming to us ready to strive for the best.
My goal is to supply all I can, to ensure they will be successful and their future will continue to be bright.
My Project
Our district is fortunate enough to have 1:1 access to chromebooks in our classrooms. We use our chromebooks daily, which makes the batteries run low often. We have ran in to the problem of students not being able to complete tasks with the rest of the class due to battery issues. By having a charging cart, we can continue learning without the disruption of a dead chromebook. Another problem we have is keeping charging cords organized and free from tangles. In fifth grade, students transition from one teacher to another and a Chromebook cart would ensure that all are transported safely. I strive to teach my students responsibility to take care of their Chromebooks and this cart would help us achive being organized, safe, and helping save classroom instructional time. With this cart, everyone can stay on the same page and technology can continue to run smoothly with our learning. Students are in need of a convenient, safe place to store their Chromebook and this cart would be a great asset.
More than half of students from low‑income households
