My Students

My first-grade students come into our classroom with so much potential everyday. They are eager and excited about each new experience and always have amazing thoughts and ideas to share. I teach in a Title I school where approximately 80% of students qualify for free lunch due to economic hardship. Despite these difficulties, they are inquisitive and motivated by the community and school environment. In our class of 25 students, some students are classified with different types of disabilities. Many of these students benefit from learning through visual presentations of the material being taught.

My Project

The external hard drive is important for me as a teacher during distance learning as my digital resources accumulate quite quickly and take up a great deal of storage on my school provided computer. With this hard drive I can continue find the resources I need to do my best teaching.

The document camera will help my students stay more engaged during their learning.

It will help them enjoy a great read-aloud and provide the visual examples along with the manipulative experiences they need to understand important math concepts too!
