Help support Mrs. Stahl's Classroom

My classroom is a trailer that is older than I am, where the swamp cooler requires pliers to turn, and on the windows are single pane. While their desks might sometimes be wobbly and pencils might be in short supply, the Chromebooks are a modern and responsive way for them to interact with our curriculum. During a recent lesson on national monuments and Mount Rushmore, students were then able to log onto Google Earth and visit Mount Rushmore using 360 degree photos. It makes the lessons come alive. Students in my classroom come from a wide variety of households, which is typical at many Title I schools. We currently share a Chromebook cart with another classroom which is 4 trailers away and technology carts don’t enjoy moving through our winter snow. When we are in need of Chromebooks, we send a team of students to retrieve the needed equipment from the other classroom. However, once we have the Chromebooks in our hands, we are using Google Classroom to access services such as ELA resources, Prodigy Math Game, Newsela, Rennaissance AR tests, Google Earth and Docs, Padlet, Flipgrid, Typingclub and other websites. During math instruction, students can pace their learning by mirroring lessons on Zearn. In ELA times, my students visit our ELA site to complete grammar, phonics and vocabulary lessons. My students are also learning to type and do writing on their computers. For my Special Education students, the Chromebooks can support their learning by using Text to Speech extensions.
