My Students

I teach students from all around the world. They are in Kindergarten, first, and second grade in Buffalo, NY. All are English Language Learners, most of whom are refugees. In addition, they are students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). Regardless of where they are from and what language(s) they speak, they are eager to learn and have a zest for life!

Our school has a very high population of students living in poverty.

It currently does not receive enough money to provide all of the necessary learning tools our students need to be successful. They have overcome so much in their young lives and I want to provide them with a strong educational foundation so they continue to succeed!

My Project

The iPad Pro will help us to share our work in school with students' families. Many of our students' parents are working all day and/or attending Adult Education English classes. It is tough for them to share what they are working on in school when they get home because they are working on keeping the home in order and also working in the evenings.

Being able to send a picture of the students with their work to a family member's cell phone, or through Schoology (one of our online resources), will increase family involvement and bridge the communication gap between school and home!

These photos will be shared instantly with parents so they can see what their child is working on in school. Photos will be shared on a twice weekly basis with families. Parents will be thrilled to experience this new, engaging way to stay connected to what their children are doing in school!
