My Students

The amazing students at my school come from high poverty homes. We are a very small and tight-knit school with a lot of grade-level integration. Our students are caring and try their best despite the odds stacked against them. Our class currently has 20 students, but our population is very transient, so this number is most likely going to change.

All of our students receive free lunch and breakfast.

These second graders are creative, silly, and love to try new things. However, most of my students are below grade level in both reading and math. Because of these deficits, I am always looking for new, innovative ways to help my students grow and succeed!

My Project

We use our classroom projector for everything! Currently, our projector and laptop are on an old, wobbly AV cart. The cart lacks wheel locks and never stays put. It moves with the slightest touch or when a student walks past. When we are using the SmartBoard, I have to re-calibrate every time the AV cart moves. This can become very frustrating when I am in the middle of a lesson.

This multimedia presentation cart would provide a sturdy location for our instructional technology.

It also has the extra space for a document camera and a power strip to plug everything in.
