My Students

Imagine 20 eager little busy bodies and busy minds trying to focus on the teacher standing in front of the class holding a workbook that you really can't see. Now imagine that it's projected on the screen and you can easily see it! All of the sudden it's easier to see what the teacher wants. Chev

My children are kindergartners and first graders who are from a low-income urban neighborhood.

They are excited about school and so very ready and willing to learn. We are a magnet school that encourages children to learn not only academics but to learn about themselves and others by exploring different cultures.

My Project

A document view and projector will help to bring the outside world into our classroom. Math The document view allows the teacher to project the images of manipulatives to that students can better see what is going on. It allows for students to better demonstrate solutions to the rest of the class. Science & Social Studies As the teacher, I will be able to play videos from the Internet. Students will be able to learn more about other cultures and explore their own on deeper levels. We will be able to check the weather live each morning, see animals in their environments, take virtual tours of museums, see science experiments on-line. Reading/Literacy We will be able to read together. We will be able to better see what our teacher is explaining. Well be able to find our page faster. I could go on and on with how helpful this tool will be in my classroom. Chevron Classroom Challenge

This project is so very important.

So many children learn by what they see. This tool will allow them a better opportunity to see not only our text books and workbooks, but also videos and real-time information, they may not otherwise have access too. Through seeing we are broadening their world.
