  • Hiking Up To Higher Learning

    Funded Jun 25, 2012

    My students and I have really enjoyed using the camera and the kindle fire that you helped us purchase. We have used the camera to take pictures of our first day of school, our Winter Program Performance, my students and parents dancing, and our two field trips. This year my students got to experience an opera for the first time in their lives. And for some of them, our hiking field trip was the first hike they have ever experienced. Our hiking leader Sparky was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She taught the kids about plant and animal life as we hiked up the Temescal Canyon. And last, but not least, every month, for harvest of the month, we take pictures of the kids cutting the fruit and look up the vegetable or fruit of the month on the kindle tablet.

    The kids used the kindle fire tablet find out more about our science topics: solids, liquids, gases, natural resources, gravity and many other topics. I wish you guys could have been part of all of this.

    Thank you for making this year a greater success!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cortez

My classroom is comprised of twenty-four enthusiastic learners. Most of them are of Hispanic descent. Many of them come from a low-income family where English is in most of the cases not the primary language. Because of this, they lack basic academic vocabulary and have limited background knowledge in comparison with a majority of Native English Speakers.
