Help me give my students the technological tools (such as a Chromebook and headphones) and classroom materials (such as disposable masks and storage boxes) that they need to be both productive and safe in a blended learning environment!

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 am a special education teacher at a Title I elementary school located in the East Village of New York City. My students have diverse needs and abilities in all areas of academics and social-emotional development. Many of my students live in shelters or subsidized housing, and do not have easy access to all of the materials needed to be successful learners. However, despite the challenges they may face at home, my students are passionate about learning and try to do their best every day!
This year my third grade students will face an additional challenge, adapting to the significant changes in their daily routines, academics, and social life due to COVID-19. I want to help them be as comfortable as possible as we navigate this new normal together.
As we start this new school year using a blended learning model, my students deserve a safe and healthy learning environment that will allow for them to feel comfortable enough to continue working to their best abilities. To achieve this goal, I ask for your help in gathering the technological tools and classroom materials to ensure that they are both productive and safe while in our classroom.
My Project
This new school year is unlike any other! I will be teaching a small cohort of students in the classroom every day, but will also need my classroom to be equipped for presenting content via video and remotely as well.
To be able to help my students reach their academic potential, it is important for me to have the right tools to make this new blended learning model work.
The supplies I am asking for in this project will make a much-needed difference in my classroom this year. As students will need to carry their devices with them to use at home and in the classroom, I would love to have an extra Chromebook available in case someone forgets their device at home. Headphones will help my students block out other distractions and focus on their work in the classroom. A document camera will enable me to convert our texts and written materials into an online format for the remote learners on our grade.
We also need to stay socially distanced and safe while we learn! I would like to keep a box of extra masks in my classroom for those times when a student is in need of one. Individual storage boxes will help me to keep separate materials for each student, and floor decals will help my students stay the required distance apart whenever we need to leave our classroom.
