  • Apple: Helping Preschoolers Experience Hands-on and Engaging Learning

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping me give my students a chance to explore the world with technology! The students have been having a great time taking pictures of their work and learning how to making videos of their creations and then sharing their videos with friends and family. The students have also loved jamboard activities where they can practice writing skills with the use of the apple pen.

    I have also enjoyed the use of our new updated technology, I use the ipad to help project work on a smartboard for whole group learning activities so the whole class can interact with a lesson at the same time. The ipad has also been a real time saver for recording on the go anecdotal assessments and uploading pictures of the children's work. The experience has been amazing and we would like to thank every donor that made this happen!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Beranek

  • Teachers Are Our Best Resource For Inspiration!!

    Funded Dec 31, 2020

    I can not begin to explain how much your donation has helped!!! With the gift certificates for Teachers Pay Teachers my whole preschool band has benefitted from the resources we were able to purchase for our students. In this time where everything has turned virtual for classrooms, it has been an overwhelming tasks to create online activities for young children. Teachers Pay teachers is such a great resource because you get to share ideas from teachers around the world and the proceeds go right into the hands of fellow educators. We have been able to purchase so many fun activities that we were able to use in both large group settings online and hands - on activities for the children to work on with their ipad during independent time. This also helped provide parent resources in both English and Spanish. We are so very grateful and blessed to have these resources at the tip of our fingers thanks to donors like you. My students are much more independent with technology and more confident in enhancing their academic skill base.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Beranek

  • Distraction Free Learning Zone

    Funded Nov 13, 2020

    Thank you so very much for your donation! As you can see in some of the photos, the headphones were a success! Many students have younger siblings at home or older siblings who are also in the same working space for online learning... having headphones to help keep them focused has been a blessing! We have had a couple of kids come back into the building, so the headphones have also helped at school. Teachers are still conducting class with students both in person as well as online so sometimes the feedback from several computers in the classroom can be hard to handle without the use of the headphones.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Beranek

Teaching remotely with preschoolers can be tricky, to say the least. Having an iPad will help me manage multiple devices with ease. I can use the iPad as a document camera to integrate physical objects into the lessons which might otherwise not have been possible, providing learning experiences simply by sharing my screen with students. The iPad can also be a visual tool when showing my English language learners step-by-step directions, experiments, or observational drawing lessons. I can use the iPad as a whiteboard for Google Meet. When I mirror my iPad, I will be able to model to the students certain learning objectives or writing concepts that we would be working on that day. Although this technology tool will help me tremendously while teaching remotely, an iPad is also the optimal tool to use for early childhood assessments when we get back into the classroom. Teachers need to provide anecdotal documentation along with pictures or videos of the students engaging in intentional learning activities. IPads are small and easily accessible when having to walk around the classroom to observe students learning. For children who lack language skills or fine motor skills, this iPad will be a great tool for them to use during small group instruction as well. Children can learn how to type, practice multi-touch navigation, and problem solve. This technology would benefit our classroom both virtually and when we are able to get back into the classroom, which will hopefully be soon.
