My Students

Most Americans use computers daily, but my children depend on our school to provide the opportunities and lessons on how to use technology wisely. My classroom needs another laptop for student use. Word processing, research, and educational games are all just a click away.

My students are advanced fifth grade learners in a socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhood in the largest metropolis on the West Coast.

All receive free lunch and supplies have been seriously limited this year due to budget cuts. As a staff, we are working hard to give our children all of the advantages and experiences that their peers experience in more affluent areas. But, as budgets get cut, there are fewer funds than ever to provide the extras like up-to-date technology.

My Project

I am fortunate to have two computers in my classroom, but I have 30 students, all vying for computer time. If, little by little, I can build a computer center, the children will benefit greatly. We do a great deal of independent study and research work in preparing the children for middle school. Most of us depend on computers for instant results, that can't happen if you are in line waiting to get a chance to use the laptop before Independent Work Time ends.

I am not accustomed to asking for help, but the state of our schools now requires me to ask the public for support and generosity.

I can no longer afford to provide for my students out of pocket, and I so dearly need to keep up with the needs of this advanced group of learners.
