My multiethnic, multicultural fifth grade classroom of thirty-one students is in a K-8 urban low income high need school of thirty-six languages. My request for computers is not only necessary, but critical to answer my students' dreams of furthering their education. With only one computer lab and twenty-six classrooms vying for time, it is literally impossible to access the lab on a regular predictable time frame. My students will be exposed to required online statewide assessments this year - milestones for their academic success. Imagine their devastation at not typing it efficiently or effectively, which will greatly impact their scores. Not to mention, research skills are vital to their success academically as well. Typing and online research accessibility for the content areas of science, social studies and math will strengthen their capabilities if I had computers for use every day. I am driven to provide the best for my students and you can become that essential link for academic success.
