A Portrait of Our Learning
Funded Feb 14, 2025Thank you very much for considering our school. We not only celebrate your contributions, but also your thoughtful and caring support for what we do as teachers. Our students are overcoming barriers every day and we are proud of the growth they are showing in their learning and soft skills that are so essential for our rising generation. Communication and ethical/global citizenry skills are in high demand for future decision-makers and for our democracy, and we appreciate your team work as we guide and support their development.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Dervishi
Listen Up!: Headphones for Learning Engagement and Support!
Funded Jan 4, 2025You kind donation to our Second Grade classrooms has already made a tremendous impact over the last six weeks. Digital Learning Platforms like Lexia and iReady are helping our students learn by giving them the tools they need to focus and do their best to make learning growth this year in foundationa reading and math skills. Before, some students felt left out or embarrassed because they didn't have headphones that are needed to follow along with their individualized, apaptive lessons, and teachers had to spend time finding extra ones from other classrooms. Now, every student has what they need, so they can start their learning right away. This means teachers can focus on teaching, and students can focus on learning without any worries.
The most exciting part for our students is that they can all participate without feeling different or left out. They are happy to get started right away and feel more confident in their learning, without feeling embarrassed at not having headphones. Some students who were shy about asking for help before are now more engaged and eager to use the programs. They know they have the same tools as everyone else and that people they have not even had the chance to meet made this possible for them, which makes them feel proud and ready to learn.”
