My Students

Imagine leaving your home, sacrificing everything and moving to a new country. You walk into a classroom and you may not have ever had any formal education before. You have never read or written and you have this smiling teacher talking to you in a language you don't understand. These are the students I teach every day. Our portable classroom technology is bare.

Many of my students have very limited schooling in their own language and are now thrust into a formal school setting.

We are developing learning stations so we can listen, speak, read and write very quickly. We help students learn English while holding on and becoming literate in their own language as well. My students have come from all around the world, from many different and often difficult situations. They hold the American Dream, but need the tools to make them successful.

We are using a wonderful educational software program called Imagine Language & Literacy. Having devices for students to use during the school day will ensure that they get the most use of this program to help facilitate learning the English language. These devices will continue to enhance our print-rich classroom!!!!!

My Project

The use of Fire Tablets and Imagine Learning & Literacy software needs to be a daily activity in my classroom. Using the tablets & software students come to listen, speak read & write English. The tablets allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
