Be a Squeakheart, and Support My Students With a Mouse
Funded Jun 28, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students were so excited to receive a mouse to use along with their laptop. This has made it easier for students to maneuver their laptop assignments and online iReady lessons. It took awhile for most students to adjust to the mouse compared to using the mouse pad on their laptops. Once they did, they were very excited to use the right button feature to copy and paste.
Many students have reported how much easier it is for them to click and drag, especially when working on an assignment using Kami. For example, highlighting the text using the mouse is much easier than highlighting using the mouse pad.
I have a few students who are still building their fine motor skills. They struggle with clicking and dragging using the mousepad on their laptop and I have noticed how much easier it has been for them to use their mouse to click and drag.
Having this new technology tool added to their class materials has motivated students and have increased student engagement.
Thank you again for making a difference in my classroom!”

Funded Feb 22, 2023Your generous donation has enhanced my classroom!
The blue partitions were used to support students during testing and independent work. Students were able to use these whenever they needed to focus or needed a break.
The blue pens, pencils, and scissors were added to their pencil cups, giving them a variety of writing tools and materials to use. Having everything they needed at their fingertips helped manage the traffic in the classroom and eliminated distractions from students walking around getting materials. This also gave students a sense of ownership and pride in the quantity and quality of materials they had. Students were most excited to use their blue pens!
The clipboards were able to give students freedom to work anywhere around the room during specific tasks. My students especially loved being able to work outside along the wall!
Your donation to my classroom went a long way this school year and will continue to support my classrooms in the future. The partitions and clipboards will be used for many more classrooms to come!
All of this wouldn't be possible in my classroom without your support. Thank you!”

Funded Aug 10, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. With the Cricut machine, I was able to enrich my classroom with language by quickly creating themes for my bulletin boards, adding vocabulary words to my focus walls, and including a touch of decor to my classroom. My students were excited to see the machine at work and the results it created. Many teachers have walked in my room and complimented on how warm, inviting, and language rich my classroom feels.
I am still learning how to use this versatile machine for other ways to enhance and enrich my classroom. I am excited to see what more I can create and add to my classroom. Your donation for this tool will continue to last for many classrooms to come!”
