Enhancing the Development of the Whole Child

Funded Nov 1, 2017

First I would like to apologize for the delay of getting the thank you letters and Impact letter to you. When the packages came we were overwhelmed, however personal issues came up soon after which cause limited work. The donation that was provided gave my students the opportunity to express themselves through technology. During the second part of the school year, the pre-K department piloted a computer based program called Waterford. The Waterford Early Learning program adapts to each individual child giving them a unique learning experience at their pace and level.

The use of the tablets allowed each student to get on for 15-30 minutes twice a day instead of once a day to improve in their skills l in phonemic-awareness, phonics, rhyming, sight words, literacy and language. The students were more engaged and excited about the program since they were able to use it on the tablet instead of the 2 laptops that came with the program.

The way society is going technology is so big especially in education. Technology allows teachers like myself to differentiate instruction and try to close the Achievement gaps. Once again we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donations. They have been and will continue to be put to great use.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. C.
