My Students

My school is nestled in a historic area in Houston. This, among others, makes my school truly special and unique. Because of its rich history and location, my school is a haven for both knowledge and cultural heritage.

My students come from a diverse background, and each day, they bring into our classroom, their various experiences, challenges, and joys.

These create a colorful tapestry for the learning that takes place in this Title I school. Their eagerness and enthusiasm to learn inspire me to continue to seek ways to make their journey in education more meaningful!

My Project

School year 2017-2018 is the second year for the implementation of Literacy in the Middle in our district. This curriculum requires students to engage in various work station activities that focus on their growth and development as readers and writers in this fast-paced age of technology.

One of the stations is the technology station.

The laptop I am requesting will be a reliable addition to our technology station. It will allow my students to research, access educational websites, as well as create projects that challenge their creativity and depth as learners in this digital age. This device will be an integral part of my instruction to cater to my students' learning styles as they cope with the demands of learning in the digital age. It will allow me to differentiate lessons and integrate various intervention practices that will help all of my students, regardless of their instructional levels.

The generous donations to this project will equip my classroom with a reliable technological device that will ensure the availability of a resource that will allow them to research, log-in to educational websites, and create computer-based projects that is reflective of Literacy in the 21st Century!
