  • Using Technology for Virtual Learning

    Funded Dec 31, 2020

    Thank you so much for this amazing donation of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. As you can see in the pictures, I have been able to do a lot of math on the screen to help my students along. Having the pencil and the iPad has been amazing. My students have told me so many times how much they love that I have the iPad now. They always express to me that it is so much easier for them to understand math and really get to see how things work. It has allowed me to use Zoom on the iPad as well. I can connect to my meeting that is already in progress and present the information to the students that way too. Thank you again!”

  • Strengthening Students' Learning by Reading

    Funded Dec 27, 2020

    Thank you so much for this amazing donation to such amazing books. I chose some really amazing books for my students such as Bud, Not Buddy, I Am Malala, The One and Only Ivan and so many more. These books are going to allow my students to read so many new things that they might not have learned. I Am Malala is about a young girl who stood up for education and changed the world. It is such an amazing story for students to be exposed to. Even though we are still virtual, I am very excited to share the news with my students on these amazing books.”

  • Virtual Social Emotional Reading

    Funded Oct 11, 2020

    Thank you so much for this amazing donation. I am so excited to be using these stories to still tell my students even though we are virtual. With using our new Social Emotional Learning curriculum, I am able to still read these stories virtually on the computer. Thank you so much for this and I really can't wait until my students are back and can actually see the books and the amazing display. Having the students still interacting with the stories even though it is online, allows for amazing conversations within the class.”

    Thank you so much for these materials. This is going to help so much with Virtual Teaching and Learning.

My students come from many diverse backgrounds. I want my students to be able to read books that they not only enjoy but ones that have to do with their backgrounds. I want my students to be comfortable while reading at school. I think it is so important to have a diverse amount of different books within my classroom for all of my students no matter where they come from. Allowing students to also read books in their dominant language that is spoken at home is so crucial in their learning. It allows them to connect their lives to school.
