My Students

Teaching in an underprivileged area, it is partly my job as a teacher to expose my students to a world they would otherwise not know.

Originally my goal was to find a tool that would make DIBELing my students easy, accessible, and meaningful.

For those of you not familiar with DIBELS, it is a new program in which you test your students throughout the year in fluency, phonemic awareness and much more. The state requires testing three times during the year and recommends progress monitoring between these three. Fortunately, my TA and I have come up with a comprehensive plan/schedule for tracking students progress and working with them daily in small groups in order for them to master each category. To accomplish this though, you must be on the Internet at least weekly. If you have been in a classroom of 24 1st graders, you would know the difficulty in fitting testing into a 40 minute block when the TA is there, and especially on your own at the teachers desk while they are working independently. Having said that, a laptop would ensure my mobility to make DIBELing a lot more accessible to both me and my students.

My Project

In addition, we have added Gigi math into our curriculum which is solely Internet based. The students learn math concepts while having a blast! We have four computers in the classroom and adding a laptop to the mix would mean I could add another student to each rotation and get students on Gigi and back to the classroom lesson in a shorter amount of time. As I mentioned before, DIBELS and Gigi is only the beginning of what a laptop and its capabilities will do for us. I am most excited to work with PowerPoint presentations and to introduce my students to the beginning of their lifelong journey of research. I am also requesting a laptop sleeve to protect the laptop.

Because most of the students in my class do not have a computer let alone Internet access, help me to help your children get involved in today's technology and experience the world in a safe, secure, and positive learning environment.
