This year, our school is considered Title I, which may help in providing programs to some of our underprivileged students. However, a large number of my students don't have access to a computer at home and school is the only place for them to access one. In my 5th grade classroom, we will be focused on NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) this school year. Students will generate notice and wonderings using a phenomena, create an experimental path, use knowledge learned from research, and write model statements with evidence and explanation. With these Chromebooks, students will be given the opportunity to work together in teams, which will further enhance their curiosity and love of learning. Furthermore, they will be able to access Mystery Science online, which is a science program adopted by our district. In addition to this, students will write different types of essays (informational, narrative, and opinion) on google docs or classroom. My students already know about the writing process. Because writing takes time and effort, it helps when students are able to write their rough and final drafts on google classroom. During this process, I can assist students that are struggling in particular areas. This will help drive my instruction!
With your donation, my students will not only be engaged in science and writing and possibly other subjects, but they will gain self-confidence for being in charge of their own learning. I strongly believe in the student-centered teaching approach if we want to create future leaders who will change this world in a positive way.
