My Students

On the surface, every single one of my 44 students has a different struggle. Getting to know them has been a bittersweet medley of empathy, admiration, and awe. Amazingly, the one thing they have in common is that learning to read or write is one of their least pressing issues. Yet, I know that a quality education can make all the difference in their young lives.

Although they are resilient, strong, joyful people, my kids have already been labeled AT-RISK of dropping out of school entirely at just 7 or 8 years old.

Many of them have struggled with basic early literacy skills since kindergarten and continue to lag behind their peers year after year.

I want to inspire them to love learning and give them every opportunity to succeed in life. I want them to learn that obstacles are meant to be overcome!

My Project

As a first-year teacher, my primary goal is to give my students every opportunity to succeed. It's amazing how quickly you realize that opportunity doesn't come easy or cheap. Although my students are lucky enough to have access to a variety of online programs that can adapt to meet their reading levels, we aren't able to fully utilize those resources with only 2 working computers in the classroom.

Your donation will unlock access to multimedia texts and adaptive software to support vocabulary and literacy development for at-risk students.

These tablets will allow my students to utilize adaptive online programs, read e-books with text-to-speech assistance, and conduct research with a variety of multimedia tools.
