  • Equal Access

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    Your contribution to my students' learning is already producing fruits! We've downloaded the Translators to the devices, and our English Language learners are demonstrating independence and efficiency in completing their classwork. My English Language Arts colleagues are impressed with the difference they see in their grade books. We also see that our students are participating with enthusiasm, they are learning new skills and new culture through literature. The assignments are now more meaningful as the students first read an abstract in their native language and then in English before they answer questions or do a follow up activity.

    Thank you for making my vision become a reality!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pugh

  • Help My Students Preserve Their Home Language

    Funded Apr 7, 2021

    Thank you for helping my students preserve their home languages. Thanks to your generous donations, my students now have books that they can enjoy with their families. I had parents who called me to thank me for the amazing gift their child brought home. Most of my students could read in two languages. It is my hope that those who couldn't read the native language print would be motivated to learn their native alphabet. Literacy is multilingual!

    Thank you again for making a difference in the lives of my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pugh

  • Virtual Learning for Students With Special Needs

    Funded Dec 20, 2020

    Thank you for the I-Pad and the Apple Pen! You've made a difference for me and my students during a challenging time when we, teachers, struggled to deliver quality instruction to our students in the virtual learning environment. I utilized the I-Pad to share the screen and mirror materials that were not available electronically.

    With the shortage of school document cameras during virtual teaching and learning, the Screen Mirroring feature of the IPad was very useful. It also provided an additional screen for having my lesson plans open and available during instruction. You've made a difference for me and my students!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pugh

Having an iPad and Apple Pencil will greatly enhance my students' virtual learning experience. When I use Zoom features, I have to share my screen from my computer, which causes me to no longer be able to view my students and hinders participation. Using the mouse and a virtual whiteboard for writing makes it very difficult for my students with dyslexia and dysgraphia to read and understand. Having an iPad and Apple Pencil to virtually teach with will bring clarity to my struggling students. The students will finally be able to enjoy presentations, videos, and be able to follow along with the writing on the screen because I have reliable technology. They will also be able to see clear annotations I make using the Apple Pencil!
