  • Hurricane Harvey Relief: A MacBook Today...Creates Learning Experiences Right Away

    Funded Jan 9, 2018

    Thank you so much for our new Apple MacBook Air. It has been a great help in our classroom. my students are able to work and rotate in small groups using the computer to search for things on the Internet. We are also able to use the computer in small groups for guided reading. I've noticed that using the computer instead of a book keeps the students interested and more engaged.

    Last week we used the laptop to search for prefixes and suffixes. The students truly enjoyed the activity. They were able to make those connections that we look for everyday when spiraling lessons. my students have been on the computer non-stop.

    This week, we will be using it for math and science to search for different animal groups as well as interactive math lessons. I can't wait to see how they do! Thanks so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McDuell

  • Making Connections Through Technology

    Funded Dec 14, 2017

    The Amazon Fire Tablets have been so helpful in our classroom. After getting them setup, we have been able to use them for I-Station, Dreambox Learning, MyOn, Starfall, and my students favorite Accelerated Reader. Everyday we have "Power Hour". During this hour, students are broken up into small groups for intervention and enrichment. During intervention, we have been using them with students who still need more help in passing the High Frequency Word Exam. This is exam is requirement for promotion to 3rd grade. With the new tablets, I've seen a great deal of progress with my scholars. For enrichment, we have been doing research for our upcoming GT Expo. The tablets have given my scholars the opportunity to do things they never had the chance to do because there was a lack of technology.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McDuell

I have officially completed my 4th year as a teacher of record although I've been in the district almost 10 years now. This year went so quickly and like a sponge I did my best to absorb as much information as possible. I am now taking time to reflect and journal on how I can make next year 10 times better for my new kiddos! "It takes a special person to light that fire, to raise our children's expectations for themselves and never give up on them, no matter how challenging it might be. All of us are here because, at some point, a teacher did that for us." -Nancy Soto
