My Students

My students are ready and eager to learn. We are a Title I school with 80% free and reduced lunch. Our students come from a rural community with parents who want them to succeed and the best for them in life. My students are in 1st grade.

We enjoy learning in a nontraditional environment and using technology to explore the world around us.

My students are excited and need more hands-on materials. My students are amazing and do more with less than other counties around us. Who knows where they will be in 20 years!

My Project

QR codes are amazing for students to use! They allow students to quickly navigate to anything online! As a teacher, I can create an instructional video or direction video for students. My class LOVES to use them. We use them to go to direction videos about centers, listen to books that have been read by students or other teachers or even the author of the book! Students scan QR codes to check their answers on task cards. We use them all the time! The problem is we have limited technology in our school and two old desktop computers. These computers have no webcam to scan QR codes.

These materials will allow my students to use the outdated technology we have in our classroom.

For this project, my students need laminating pouches to laminate the QR codes we are already using. The codes are printed on paper and over time, they are getting worn out. The lamination pouches will allow me to make them stronger so they will hold up.

Students use the laminated QR codes to navigate to websites and resources that reinforce phonics skills we have been learning in class. They need webcams to read the QR codes. On the desktop, students open the QR reader in Chrome and use the webcam to scan the laminated sheet. Once students navigate to the resource, they need headphones to be able to listen to the resource instructions.

Students need a phonics practice book to practice independently and show their understanding. Once students visit a resource on a phonics skill, they will complete a workbook page to turn in and show their understanding.

The laminating pouches, webcam, headphones, and 20 Week-by-Week Word Family Packets will help my students to practice phonics skills using technology and help them to become better readers.
