Reading is the Future with Technology!

Help me give my students a charging station so the students can charge the technology that we are using more in the classroom due to the pandemic. Most students don't have home technology.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach enthusiastic 5th graders at a Title I elementary school. My students are focused on moving to their next chapter "middle school". My students are English learners who are enjoying the fun of reading. Many of my students do not have basics, so I do my due diligence to make sure they have the tools they need to be successful.

My Project

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' learning enjoyment. You will help to increase their academic achievement. We use technology in the classroom because most of the students do not have home technology. My goal is to build a fun learning environment to influence my students love for reading. The students will be able to enjoy their classroom library to sit and read books or look for books on their chromebooks where they can enjoy all over the room.

My students are more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work and the tools to be successful.

The floor cushions and charging station will allow more versatility in the classroom. Students can move around and read to each other and use their fully charged chromebooks and Ipads to take story comprehension quizzes. I have two reading blocks and I will be able to sanitize and charge devices with pillows so all my students enjoy reading freedom in our classroom.
