Investigating With An IPad Mini!
Funded Oct 29, 2015
On behalf of my students, I want to thank you for your generous donation of an iPad mini. This gift will provide our students with real world connections to current research that will support all our ongoing investigations in our classroom. Curiosity and access to technology is the key to our success as productive Americans. This iPad will be used by many science students and will be very beneficial in this upcoming year. It is so heart-warming that people like you truly care about the students and their goals and aspirations. Thank you for your support!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Kurz-Porretto
This classroom project was brought to life by ConEdison and 2 other donors.

My goal is to teach my students more than just science. I want my students to leave my class with the ability to tackle assignments with the confidence and desire to think critically and work independently. I want them to be more technologically literate. My students attend a K-8, Title 1 school, with a diverse student body, with a great percentage of whom are considered economically disadvantaged. Our students have a strong desire to learn about our world and the ways that STEM ideas come to life. We currently face many environmental problems and our students today will be the decision makers of tomorrow. Therefore, it is critical that we provide hands on, relevant STEM activities that bring learning to life for these students.
