  • A Tpt Digital Easel Board

    Funded Jun 15, 2021

    This project has been really helpful to us as a school. I used to buy free or low cost digital activities because hello- I am a teacher servicing so many students with various needs. In my 10 years of teaching I have taught so many different grades and just like my learning curve has been steep, so is my ability to realize how I can buy good quality teacher materials to reach my objective more effectively.

    This summer we met as teacher teams to go over PBL (Project Based Learning) projects and lessons and we bought some digital resources from TpT easel.

    I also got some STEAM lessons so I can work during the summer to plan lessons and materials needed for the upcoming school year.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Jacob

  • Headphones! Headphones!

    Funded Jul 4, 2018

    As a classroom we are grateful for our headphones. The students are able to focus much better while they use the same educational program in a shared room. We are in an integrated classroom wit students who have special needs (some in the process of getting diagnosed) and others who are higher functioning but easily distracted.

    The headphones have helped students stay focused and zone out distractions from others. We have students who have taken it up as a job to distribute, collect and manage the headphones. They also feel special being the only class that has a class set of working earphones.

    The students have a bunch of questions for our main donor, Mr. Rietman who is an alumni of the school. They cannot believe that he was in a similar classroom in the same building without smartboards or computers.We are also excited to mail out the Thank you letters.

    Your donation has definitely made an impact in their lives and we thank you once again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Jacob

Every student in my class has the ability to achieve greatness. We have been granted an iPad for each student as a part of our magnet grant but the headphones are usually provided by parents and most of them stop working after a short while. The use of headphones in our class will create many opportunities for my students. They will no longer have to keep the iPads on silent which will increase their enjoyment 10 fold, helping create a love of learning and student success. Having headphones to use with their iPads will also help instill a love of reading and reading skills in my students since we have access to programs like Raz Kids, Iread and STMath. It will allow them to listen to fluent reading, build their vocabulary, and improve their listening skills. They will also have the chance to practice math, handwriting, and vocabulary along with other skills aligned with their ability, creating more confidence in the students. I am asking for an additional two headphones in case any of them break.
