STEAM in the Reading Classroom - We Need Technology!
Funded Dec 12, 2017
We have reached our goal!!! Thanks to you, our class will now have laptops shipped to our classroom! Thank you for supporting the students and myself during this wonderful year. I cannot thank you all enough for stepping in and making a difference. With the warm birthday wishes and day full of surprises, you have all truly touched my heart. God could not have blessed me with better parents. Thank you again for everything, and much love!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Mendez

Having the set of Chromebooks will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. One way they will be used is as a STEM center. Due to the natural disaster that recently occurred in Florida, the students want to research ways to filter clean water in times of need. Students can conduct research on aquifers and then design their own using nothing more than natural items. Another way they will be used is by recording the results of an experiment. Students could take pictures of their results at different time intervals and record observations through notes. They could collaborate on group findings by sharing through the cloud. Additionally, I could download apps for various reading and writing practice skills for a reading and writing center, which would allow me to have activities for both my highest performing and most struggling students. My project will make a difference because, as I said before, these students are the digital natives. Our classrooms are not yet at the level technologically to meet their needs as learners. This grant will help to close that gap just a little bit more.
