Funded Mar 19, 2019At our elementary school, technology is used in conjunction with our language arts and math programs to enhance skills taught by the teacher. A part of our language arts time called "Blended Learning" is used for small group instruction. Students needing remediation are able to work with the teacher on reading skills. Other groups may be working on assignments. One group will be utilizing technology on phonics-based programs called Lexia or Amplify Reading. These programs are adapted to a student's individual level. During math time, one group works with the teacher, while the other group works on a math program called Zearn, which is the technology component of our math program.
The most exciting part of the headphones provided through your donation is that students each have their own headphone. It is labeled with their name and stored in a bag. During both these parts of the day, the students are able to utilize their own functioning headphone. They take care of it as they know that in order to be able to utilize their technology effectively, they need this tool. It provides a quieter classroom environment during this learning time. All the students appreciate your gift. Thanks again for your generosity.”
