My Students

Due to the storm our students have been displaced from our school. We lost all of our reading materials and learning centers. We are currently housed in a middle school and unable to use there materials. It is a challenge working without centers and activities to further students learning. I remember starting school so excited to learn how to read. We listened to stories using a cassette player and book to follow the story. My students love to read and strive to meet every challenge I present to them. E-readers will help them learn how to read and make it fun like playing a game.

I am currently a first grade teacher working with the most amazing students.

This is my second year working with half my class and they are the most grateful students that deserve the best. I believe that all students can learn and this is my goal. They read every chance they get and they love being read to. They enjoy buddy reading with their classmates and being allow to read to the class. Everyday I work to help them reach there learning potential. Our school is in a low income area in New York. Many of my parents are hard working parents trying to put food on there table every night and some are in shelters. These circumstances do not allow for extras such as computers or a home libraries. This does not stop our parents from doing everything in their power to help their child learn.

My Project

We have no technology in our classroom. Leapfrog e-readers is a start to help them to enhance their learning. Our class library is filled with books that students love to read. The leapfrog will reach all students, readers and struggling reading learn letters,sounds and reading. Some of the programs even teach students numbers, shapes and colors.

Thank you for helping make a great group of kids become great readers and learners.

I always teach them it's not where you come from, it's where you are going. Your support will be a stepping stone in my students learning and growing. You will not only make an impact on this group of students but students for years to come.
