My Students

"There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do instead of what he cannot do." - Dr. Temple Grandin

My students are a wonderful group of children that need more support than typically developing kids.

They are a diverse group of learners from multi-cultural backgrounds. Our school is a Title One school, which means that most of our students live below the poverty line. This coupled with being English Language Learners and having special needs means that they need a lot of additional support. Our school is totally committed to providing my students with a learning environment that provides them with skills that will help them become independent adults and life long learners.

My Project

I am requesting 3 iPads and 3 cases to support their learning. This will allow them to communicate through apps and programs geared to support children with communication deficits. These iPads and cases will be used during reading groups, writing groups, whole class instruction across the curriculum, academic intervention in Mathematics and English Language Arts via MobyMax, individual conferences and activities of daily living. The materials would enable my students to successfully work independently using apps and technology.

Donations for this project would allow me to support my students to communicate and learn in ways that break language and learning barriers.

They would improve my classroom by giving my students the access to technology on a daily basis to become independent and successful learners.
