My Students

I work in a third-year school where more than three-quarters of our population comes​ from low-income households. Our school is still growing and changing, and classrooms lack Smartboards and technology. We are an ICT classroom where 40% of our students receive IEPs with special accommodations, and there are many students who receive daily supports without IEPs.

Many of our students are striving readers, writers, and mathematicians who are below grade level and working hard to foster a love of learning.

We are working hard to foster this love by giving students multiple opportunities to learn and get excited to read, write, and manipulate with numbers.

My Project

All students are different and have different needs. My co-teacher and I differentiate every single lesson to support all of our students. We have been lucky enough to give our students what they need when they need it, no questions asked - but we need your help!

Students are expected to know how to use a computer by the end of kindergarten, where they will take benchmark assessments in math and literacy.

Many students do not have computers at home, and our school does not have a computer lab. We want our students to not only perform well but get the computer skills and practice they need to make sure they are not at a disadvantage as they grow up. The Chromebooks requested in this project will help them do just that.
