    My students and I are deeply grateful for your consideration and support. Our curriculum is great, but we were still lacking the best tools to implement it. Now we are ready for the best school year yet. We are excited to continue our math journey and you helped so much with our scholars' success!”

    Funded Nov 11, 2020

    Thank you so much for funding our project! My students were thrilled to know that so many people support their online learning and successful education. Our math and reading lessons will be far more interactive and engaging with our new technology. We are excited to move forward and filled with appreciation!”

An iPad and Apple Pencil will allow me to teach online while viewing my students' faces and annotating our shared computer screens. With zoom compatible apple products, the students can receive helpful feedback, share examples and visuals, all with the expectation of their participation and scholarly discussions. We have already adapted and learned so much this year, being held back by lack of technology is devastating. To make online lessons more productive, the class can watch helpful videos and we can highlight important information during reading and math instruction. For example, we are currently learning about algebraic equations. With compatible technology, the lesson would be much more informative with the ability to draw arrays, number lines, and highlighted text, which could be demonstrated on each students' computer screen for them to easily record in their notebooks. Updated technology will drastically improve lesson quality.
