  • Small Group Success!

    Funded Jan 8, 2020

    My special education small groups would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! The materials that were purchased for this project have really helped encourage participation. When the kids saw the new, colorful stools, they were so excited. They decided it would be a clever idea to pair the chairs with the colorful dry-erase spots that were also purchased for this project. They then decided that it would be even more fun to match those colors to the color-coding on the Chromebooks that were funded in a different project. In addition to the stools and the dry-erase spots, this project also included dry erase markers and protective sheets that came in a rainbow of color. As an adult, we often forget just how exciting seeing a variety of colors in the classroom is. Again we are so thankful for your donation!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Richards

  • Organization Is the Key to Success!

    Funded Oct 24, 2019

    As most of us know, keeping organized helps keep us sane! This can also be said for students. Students rely on consistency and reliability. The organizational tools you helped purchase will keep our new Chromebooks (another project you funded) organized and safe. Without organization, these Chromebooks would likely get destroyed in the daily shuffle of a classroom.

    When the kids saw the new Chromebooks and how I worked out an organizational system for them, they lit up! Our old Chromebooks were housed on a rickety book case, and it was difficult for them to put the Chromebooks away in an organized manner. I was also able to organize the new computer mice you funded in a color-coded manner, which is always exciting to kids!

    Thank you again for your support, my students send their heartfelt thanks as well.”

  • "Chart"ing our Learning

    Funded Dec 20, 2019

    Thank you for gifting me the opportunity to help my students access the tools they need to complete tasks that require multiple steps. Anchor charts are vital to students with learning disabilities and children with executive function deficits. Giving them the chance to collaborate to create them is just icing on the cake!!!”

  • Chromebooks: Come Alive With Assistive Technology!

    Funded Dec 17, 2019

    Thank you so much for donating to our project. We cannot wait for the computers to come and support student learning. My incredibly special learners will be challenged in new and innovative ways with this assistive technology. Thanks to the support of donors like you, we are able to make our tech dreams come true.”

My small, cozy, class "home" is a space where student can meet for small group and 1:1 support. Chromebooks will allow us to interact on an even deeper level. My space will require a place to store our fabulous new Chromebooks, making a space with the paper sorters, zip ties, and power-strip. As well, my students will prolong the life of their Chromebooks through use of wireless mice. As my students interact with the myriad of programs available to them, they will not have to use the track pad, but instead interact with a tech tool they will use their entire lives.
