Mrs. L. from Saint Charles MO is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help Us Be Smarter, Together Using Technology!

My students need 10 Kindle Fire tablets that are so engaging and entertaining that they won't even mind that they're learning Science while using them!

My Students

My students come alive when science is involved! Each day we start with a class meeting that sets the tone for our day. We end our meeting by going over our schedule. "When is Science?" I always hear. I'm confident that I can improve rigor in my classroom through the addition of tablets!

I have the most wonderful loving students.

They come from blue collar families that don't always have extra luxuries. We are a Title I school and most of my students are eligible for free lunches. Most of our classrooms lack appropriate technology to sustain a 21st Century environment and I know my students would appreciate this upgrade. My students love coming to school and learning when there is novelty involved. Finding ways to keep them learning and engaged with science has been challenging. Our school has partnered with Discovery Education to provide a common core aligned curriculum for science. Without money for new materials our teaching has been quite creative. With the addition of tablets, my students will be able to have unlimited opportunities as technology is a renewable resource.

My Project

When I was in third grade I used to pretend my desk was a computer. I was quickly snapped out of reality when my teacher would call for us to open our science textbook. How cool would it have been to be able to draw, write, and learn directly onto my own computer? Now we have the opportunity to change the way in which our students are learning in the 21st century. We have found affordable tablets that can provide endless opportunities for enrichment through interactive touch screens. The concept of each child sharing one tablet to dissect a frog was unheard of until a few years ago. Have you even seen the stars in real time using the Star Walk app? Have you considered completing labs through Discovery Education via interactive screen? In this age where the benefits of math and science are immeasurable, I hope to inspire a future engineer, biologist, or scientist. I am ready to enhance the learning process in my classroom. Will you help me?

My students will be able to meet their end of the year goals with these additional opportunities.

They will be inspired to do their best. Students will be excited to come to school because their class will be quite special. Let's partner together and help these students reach their goals!
