Funded May 20, 2020I can't thank you enough for allowing me to reach out to my students during this pandemic by funding our project. Technology has become more important during this time and having access to it has not been easy. I have been able to gain access to my students whom I have not met in real life let, but have been able to get to know them through Zoom or Google Meet.
The students look forward to "having lunch" with me and talking about their day and weekend and what they are learning. I have had "tours" through their homes, showing me their pets and parents and siblings. They have also had a glimpse into my life as well. There is lots of learning taking place as well. We have been able to go over sight words, word families, number sense and play games using the technology. We have navigated through educational websites together to enhance learning and make it fun.
Students who otherwise would not have had this opportunity are so thankful for their turn to use the iPad and talk with their teacher. There are students who have multiple siblings and do not get the attention they yearn so having an opportunity to "hang out" with their teacher on the iPad is pretty exciting. Thank you again for your generous donation and allowing my students and I to get to know each other through technology.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Webb
