My Students

Do you remember how much fun it was to do school work with new supplies? Well, we want something new to do research with...Google Nexus tablets.

I teach 22 fabulously eager first graders who try hard, want to succeed, and are very interested in technology.

My Title 1 school is located within the city limits of a moderate-sized city. We serve many different cultures and speak many different languages. Several students in my class receive free or reduce-priced meals at school.

My Project

One of the things that I want to do this year is spend more time learning about, validating and valuing the cultures that are represented within our classroom. I envision setting up a learning station where the children can get on the Google Nexus 7 tables and learn about the culture that we are studying at the moment. I will find safe sites that will teach about and reinforce their understanding of how and why the different cultures at our school and in our class celebrate different holidays, dress, eat, and worship. Once I have found these sites, the kids in my class will be able to click on the links on the home screen and watch the videos or listen to the podcasts that I find. To make this happen, we need 3 Google Nexus Tablets, protective covers and screen protectors.

This project is important to me because my students mean the world to me.

Every child deserves to be recognized, respected, and understood. I think that the learning that will take place with these tablets as we do our multicultural studies will help each child feel good about his or her heritage. It will also open our minds to increase tolerance and understanding of others. That is priceless in this world today. Please help make this happen for my students.
