Funded Nov 4, 2018From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generous donation to our classroom. With our new tablets, our students can follow along to grade-level texts by listening to their teacher (me) read it to them on SoundCloud. They can pause, rewind, and re-listen to parts they want to hear again without feeling embarrassed. They can write notes and better understand the text because it is being read to them out loud.
In addition to reading, some of our students use these tablets to listen to test and quiz questions. Because of this, their test scores have increased and their eagerness to learn has grown. Many of our students specifically request these tablets to help them through a task.
In the future, we plan to use these tablets to guide students through more readings. We plan to "gamify" (use games in) our class to excite more learning. We also plan to continue to find new ways for our kids to grow meaningfully with these tablets.
We cannot thank you enough for your support; our students have another door open to them because of this resource. We have this opportunity because of your generosity. For that, we thank you.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Mac
