Emotional Awareness
Funded Sep 3, 2021I want to thank you for your donations to my classroom. The importance of healing during this time is important and has an impact on our students as we introduce, and practice social emotional learning. I have a Peace Corner surrounded by wonderful donated books and objects where my students reflect and learn to understand their emotions. Drawing and coloring also contribute to a healthy mindset. As my students face the coming years, I hope that with your wonderful contribution they would have learned how to apply SEL skills when faced in any situation. Thank you for your generosity.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Barbara Henker Trust.Expressing My Thoughts Digitally as Simple as Pen to Paper.
Funded May 28, 2021I want to once again thank you for the wonderful and useful tablets that were donated to my class. My students quickly warmed up to the writing tablets. The use of them makes it so much easier to write using their chrome books, working on their assignments in class, or from home. The writing tablets have made it easy to maneuver on the page using the styles. It is as if they are using paper and pencil but so much more advanced. They are able to quickly edit and rewrite their writing.
The students were very excited to use a technological tool which they had seen on-line. When they used it to color their state bird, they were able to draw fine and thick lines. This learning tool allows for engagement as the students are able to project and present and interact with their presentation. This has allowed for collaboration on various content academic areas.”

Printing Made Easy Through Wireless
Funded Aug 18, 2012My students and I would like to extend our gratitude for your donation of the wireless printer for our classroom. My students now have access to technology that will help them use 21 century technology.
Hands-on access to the printer enables my students to print wirelessly from any location in the classroom which has benefited them by providing instant access to their research when they are writing book reports, respond to literature, and expository essays.
