My Students

I have a group of 15 energetic and caring boys, yes, all boys in my class. They love technology and math and science. On the first day, 6 told me math was their favorite subject. 5 told me science was! They come from many low income families who can barely keep food on the table. At our school, we try and give them the experiences that they might not get at home. We build a community and family based classroom to help them feel comfortable and safe in their environment. Thank you for your help!

My Project

Technology is a great inspiration to my students. Most students have never picked up a book but will when it is an e book or it is something they can listen to. They have student iPads but cannot use volume for reading and listening without interrupting each other. Even though it might be part of school supplies, most parents are unable to afford headphones, let alone pencils. Headphones help to make a classroom more capitvating to all sorts of learners, with keeping it quieter and user friendly!! I hope you can help my students become more engaged in the classroom!
