My Students

I teach in a Title I, K-5 school in New York City. Our school is a small, progressive public school that emphasizes inquiry-based learning. Due to our small size, we are perpetually underfunded and are currently lacking with technology.

Our students are diverse, creative and imaginative learners.

My students are energetic and eager to learn new things! They enter the classroom each morning with a smile on their face, ready to face the day. They enjoy talking with each other and working in groups. It's very exciting to hear students discussing a topic and making discoveries as they work together and share their ideas. Even though we are in a small school with a limited budget, I want them to be able to try new things, investigate their own interests with classmates, and create a real love for learning. Together we are looking forward to a productive year!

My Project

My classroom is filled with hands-on learners, eager to enter the classroom every single morning and learn! Thanks to your generosity, I've turned my classroom into a flexible learning space, but now I'm looking to add technology to support the different learners in my classroom.

My students with disabilities need tablets and headphones to help them further access the daily curriculum, and to strengthen their math and literacy fluency, science skills, and STEM overall!

Having tablets and headphones allows our students to be engaged in their learning while increasing their technology skills. The charging station allows us to keep the tablets safe and charged for the next fun day of exploration!
