My Students

Our school was severely damaged by Hurricane Harvey, so now we are housed at our local high school. Even before the hurricane, our students faced many adversities because of their low socioeconomic status. Many of my students' families had a difficult time meeting their daily basic needs. Despite my students' obstacles, they are great kids and still strive to be successful. Their efforts are many times thwarted because we don't have a variety of instructional materials available to us. Even with the lack of basic supplies, we still strive to be the best. Hurricane Harvey hit us but it didn't kill us.

My Project

I am requesting assistance to help me be a better teacher for my students, given our circumstance. We feel that iPads and tablets with headphones will enhance my students math knowledge and give them the ability to learn at their own individualized pace. These iPads will allow them to access our math subscription that assists them in mastering Math concepts. During Hurricane Harvey, we lost all of our technology, including in our classroom. Math is a very tough subject and most of my students are below grade level, so with the class Amazon Fire tablets we can make learning math fun and engaging by using free math apps and games as new ways to learning old material without feeling discouraged.

Enhancing the curriculum with technology as well as my knowledge and high spirits will provide an experience like no other!

These iPads will simplify abstract topics into simple, easy to understand visuals that students can then see in action. After Harvey, we need a safe place to store our given technology and headphones. I want to make learning fun for all my students, however, it is discouraging when they feel no care cares about their education and making sure they have what they need to both strengthen and challenge their learning. I want to assist my students in becoming all they can be in this generation of technology. Many of our my students can't afford the late and greatest, so your generous donations will give them hope that they can succeed!
