My Students

My students live in a low socioeconomic community. Most of them receive free or reduced-price lunch based on their financial status. My students attend a Title I school in Miami, FL. They also have little support from home. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households. These students are in great need of technology equipment and school supplies.

I teach in a high poverty school district where my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.

Despite the many challenges they face, they always walk into the classroom every day full of life, excited and ready to learn new skills. I am looking forward to providing my students with a new taste of learning that can help them explore new ideas and improve their academic performance. In addition, they are very creative, clever, and very punctual when it comes to learning new ideas in school. They like to move, read stories, and need lots of positive attention. I am a teacher who always believes that every student can achieve something positive in their lives, regardless of their ethnic and socioeconomic background.

My Project

The supplies, headphones, and laptop that I am requesting for my students will increase their participation during reading instruction. In addition, the laptop and headphones will be used during small group and whole group instruction. The technology resources will change our reading program structure and raise student achievement levels. By implementing the technology instructional model, my students will begin to show growth during differentiated instruction and weekly assessments. With these materials, my students will be able to explore and discover different tools that can be used to enhance their ability to learn and achieve success while learning is happening in the classroom. My main goal is to equip the students with a first-class education in which they can play a better role in this society. I truly need your support to help make this wonderful dream a reality! These remarkable children are in need of a champion that can help them reach their full potential in life.
