Seeking Focus and Regulation
Funded Dec 3, 2024My project was funded by you amazing people! It is truly amazing that you are out there making a difference for students. It not only helps my students be more successful, it takes a bit of a burden off of me. I can not express my gratitude sufficiently, you are wonderful! Thank you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Donaldson Foundation and one other donor.Technology Equity
Funded Apr 11, 2023I appreciate the donation of an iPad for my classroom. Over my 25 years of teaching special education, everything has changed and evolved so much. Students have changed with the increase of access to technology; pretty much growing up with it. My job has changed in that I often have larger groups and have students in groups together that have different academic levels.
This iPad is new in its use for me but it has already proven helpful. I have started to use it with a young Kindergarten student that is working on preschool/early learning skills. He is able to attend to a task for only a couple of minutes so the iPad has been helpful in engaging him in learning as part of multiple activities we do in our time together.
I plan on using the iPad in many other ways this school year. My hope is to use it as part of station rotations and possibly as an earned reward. Another option I am looking into is to use it to help with self regulation or calming strategies.
The generosity that allowed me to have this tool is amazing. Many thanks to all who donated.”
