My Project

My students are curious, energetic, and full of potential. Despite the challenges they face living in a low-income community, they come to school eager to learn, ask questions, and explore the world around them. What I love most is their resilience and their excitement for knowledge. They are creative thinkers who shine when given the opportunity to express themselves, and they inspire me to be the best teacher I can be every day.

How Each Resource Will Help Them Learn

I will be able to create engaging PowerPoints and comprehensive lesson plans that will enhance my students' learning experience. These resources will help make lessons more interactive and accessible, allowing each student to grasp concepts more effectively and succeed in the classroom. Your support will truly make a difference in shaping their education! MacBook will be a powerful tool to transform how I deliver lessons and engage my students. With it, I’ll be able to create more interactive and visually stimulating lesson plans that capture their attention

My students will be able to gain technological skills while tapping into their multiple intelligence to learn! These students need a fair chance at learning. At times, my students are arguing for the one computer in the class and it breaks my heart! If I had the finances, I would buy it myself.
