My Students

My students are exceptional because they are genuine, inspirational, beautiful and talented in different ways. They come from various cultural backgrounds such as: The West Indies, The Caribbean, South and Central America, Africa and Mexico. They speak differently languages at home and come to school proud and excited to share their traditions and cultures. My students love learning about new things. They are very empathic towards others and try to lend a hand when they can. In addition, they always want to learn new ideas, methods and will find different ways to accomplish their goals. Everything that they learn in school, they take home and expand their knowledge. They are so full of energy and always ready to learn and share what they know.

My Project

Students often get discouraged with an activity when they are consistently using the same research books. Sometimes the text is too hard, not enough photos or text features, even so the information may not be sufficient. Most of these books do not have up to date information or there isn't enough information. This donation will allow students to use current technology to understand the retrieve and apply them to current up to date information. Students will use different programs and websites that will allow them to learn new relevant information about their researched topic on sea animals. Students will get a chance to view videos and clips of their animals, and feel as if they were there. Our students will be thrilled because most of them they do not have the access or opportunity to visit places outside of the United States. Therefore, attaining a Chromebook would give them a excitement because they could visit or travel different places without leaving their seats! Having their own Chromebook will encourage them to look for more details and provide more insight on their topic. My LD students will gain confidence in their researched based skills by having the opportunity to use technology. They will be able to expand and explore new ideas. Most of my visual and tactile students will benefit from Chromebooks because they will have access to photographs, sound clips, search engine bars and access to type their reports create group PowerPoint projects. In our classrooms, these books will help us to throughout the day from looking up words in the dictionary (because our dictionaries are out dated to playing math programs such as Mathletics to compete math problems with students around the world).
