    Your generosity has allowed this project to be fully funded! I can't wait to tell my students the good news in class tomorrow.

Reading programs, such as Reading A-Z or MyLexia, help students reach the next reading level by individualizing lessons and providing teachers with ongoing data to target learning goals. Some of the students in our classroom might need a break from the high energy levels in 4th grade, so using a tablet to self regulate emotions could help them relax and self sooth. With a tablet, students would be able to e-mail authors, research new animals, or type writing pieces on google docs to share with their classmates. On the tablets, students can play interactive games to help them learn their multiplication tables, create their own coding programs, learn animation- the options are endless!
