  • Boost Our Learning With New Technology

    Funded Aug 9, 2013

    Class 3-322 is so excited to be able to use our new computer in the classroom. It has brought new life and intrigue into the classroom. The large screen gives the students the ability to work in a group around it. The graphics and the colors on the screen are excellent. The ability to connect easily to the Internet to access games and information really helps the students.

    Games that involve grammar, math, spelling, creative writing and comprehension will really help prepare the students for the CCSS. They will also help boost their confidence when taking the state tests in April and May. Finding different software available to the students and giving them the ability to access it on their home computers brings a school home connection which really helps. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Paloscio & Ms. Bisirri

  • Small Group Instruction Works Best

    Funded Dec 26, 2012

    Thank you so much for supporting my project Small Instruction Works Best. The technology that is available to students would be very limited, but thanks to your generosity the students can use an IPAD to work on. The ability to break up the class into small groups will allow struggling students to work together on a specific subject. This really benefits the children.

    Children learn best when they have small class sizes and can work in small groups. Funding this IPAD for the classroom has helped tremendously. Thank you so much for your generosity.

    The children are learning to use different software that is available to them on the IPAD. Some of them have even learned how to use the same software on a laptop. This will definitely help to raise reading levels and help with math concepts. Thank you again.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Paloscio & Ms. Bisirri

    This classroom project was brought to life by Ham Rove and one other donor.
I teach 29 second grade students. My class is composed of 40% special education students and 60% general education students. My school is a Title 1 school and several of my students do not have computers at home. We are located in an economically challenged neighborhood. Many have families that are struggling financially. There are several students that lost everything during Hurricane Sandy. In a big class of 29 students, arranging them into small groups really benefits not only the struggling students but the students that are excelling. My class is composed of students with a variety of learning styles and abilities. Reaching each of these children is a never ending goal. My students are hardworking and motivated, they just need the means and opportunity to grow and learn! The information and opportunity is out there, we just need the ability to access it.
