• Tools for Successful Remote Learning

  Funded Oct 20, 2020

  Remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was not an easy task, especially when it came to teaching students with special needs. Traditional activities that were easy to complete with the students had to be rethought. While various computer programs offered great resources to help present new concepts to the students, the students struggled with managing too many of them.

  Fortunately, generous donors helped to supply my students with hands-on resources that they were able to use in conjunction with live classroom teaching and supplemental online programs. Through Microsoft Teams, I could demonstrate new concepts to the students through the document camera, and they could see me working writing in real time.

  At the conclusion of each science unit, I was able to drop off to my students the Kinex Stem Kits. The kits came with instructions for 3 different activities. We were able to use the guidelines to discuss what they were building along with how and why it worked. They absolutely loved these!

  Remote learning would definitely not have been as successful without your generous support. My students and I genuinely appreciate all of the donations made and they greatly contributed to the teaching and learning in our remote classrooms.”

• Remote Learning STEM Projects

  Funded Sep 7, 2020

  Remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was not an easy task, especially when it came to teaching students with special needs. Some of the most difficult challenges were providing students with ways to stay engaged in learning beyond traditional paper-and-pencil and computer activities.

  Fortunately, generous donors helped to supply my students with STEM materials that supplemented our learning. Through Microsoft Teams, we work together virtually to build the kits and have class discussions afterward. They loved these!

• Remote Learning Social and Emotional Tools

  Funded Aug 31, 2020

  Remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was not an easy task, especially when it came to teaching students with special needs. Some of the most difficult challenges were providing students with ways to stay organized at home and providing meaningful ways for the students to interact with each other.

  Fortunately, generous donors helped to supply my students with organizational materials and resources that supported meaningful interactions. Through Microsoft Teams, we could use the materials to have class discussions and even play some games. The students really enjoyed this!

• Remote Learning Must Haves!

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  Remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was not an easy task, especially when it came to teaching students with special needs. Traditional activities that were easy to complete with the students had to be rethought. While various computer programs offered great resources to help present new concepts to the students, the students struggled with managing too many of them.

  Fortunately, generous donors helped to supply my students with hands-on resources that they were able to use in conjunction with live classroom teaching and supplemental online programs. Through Microsoft Teams, I could demonstrate new math concepts to the students, and they could see me working with the manipulatives. When it was their turn to practice, I could see them utilize the manipulatives to gauge their levels of understanding. It made distance learning seem a little bit closer.

  Throughout the time of full-time remote learning, I was able to utilize the printer and folders to prepare materials for each student individually. Every Friday without fail, I organize the next week's lessons and drove them to each student's house. I would also collect that week's finished work. The students were able to stay organized with their learning.

  Remote learning would definitely not have been as successful without your generous support. My students and I genuinely appreciate all of the donations made and they greatly contributed to the teaching and learning in our remote classrooms.”
