Funded Aug 29, 2018The Chromebooks we received through your generous donations has greatly impacted our school year so far! Although we are only three months in, my 7th graders have already written two full essays and had the ability to type up their rough drafts and final drafts. This has been incredibly helpful as many students have been able to write more quickly and share their work with each other in order to improve it. We also no longer have to go in search of borrowing laptops from other classrooms mean more time is spent on the actual learning and productivity in class!
What is most exciting about this project for the girls is that they get to type up all of their essays and learn how to make their writing look professional. This is preparing them for college when they will have to write many essays and need many of the skills they will learn from using computers at an early age.
The ELL students I have in my classes have been particularly impacted by this project because they are able to use English language programs and audio books of what we are reading. They are also able to improve their grammar through the use of spell check in Google Drive which has been extremely helpful when it comes time to submit essays.
Overall, these computers have made our daily process of writing so much better and we are all beyond thankful for the generosity shown by others!!”
With gratitude,
