My Students

My Students: My second grade students face the challenge of mastering new and more complicated mathematical concepts this year. Our school has adopted a new version of publisher Scott-Foresman's "Envision". This new version relies on technology to bring the concepts alive for students.

My second grade students are from diversified backgrounds.

Most are English language learners, from lower socioeconomic homes. Our school is Title I, and last year we entered Program Improvement 3 status for not meeting the NCLB requirements for 2 subgroups of students (English Language learners and special education). Comprehension skills are the key to our students' success in school and life. The children need a differentiated curriculum in order to master vocabulary and concepts. My students are bright and eager to learn. They need math lessons that are going to stimulate all their sensory perceptions.

My Project

My Project: Having a laptop computer in the classroom will allow the students to experience the new math curriculum "Envision" the way it is intended to be presented. The school has purchased projectors for each classroom along with a screen, but without a laptop the interactive DVD that accompanies the math program is of no use. The "Envision" program also has the interactive lessons on their website, but a laptop is needed to access that as well. The laptop is essential for presenting each math lesson in its interactive format. Students will experience each lesson component through interacting with colorful animated characters that present math stories and concepts in a visual and auditory stimulating manner. For students such as mine who are learning English, it is most important to incorporate this technology into the math program. Math vocabulary and concepts would be reinforced daily in a vivid, fun format for students.

Having my request for a laptop computer granted would mean being able to teach the new "Envision" math program the way it was intended to be taught.

Using an animated, visually and orally stimulating lesson daily for all students, especially those learning English, would make learning math more comprehensible and fun. Having a laptop is the essential key to being able to teach this program. Thank you for your consideration!
