  • Binder Me Please!

    Funded Dec 22, 2021

    I am thrilled to share with you the incredible impact your generous contributions have made on our classroom. Thanks to your support, we have been able to introduce a range of new resources that have significantly enhanced our learning environment and enriched our students' educational experience.

    Using the New Resources:

    With the new resources, we have embarked on a fascinating classroom project focused on creative writing. One of the standout projects has been to create a writing piece.

    Student Reactions:

    The excitement was palpable when the students first saw the new materials. Their eyes lit up with curiosity and enthusiasm as they explored the new resources.

    Next Steps:

    Currently, we are in the midst of another project. The next steps for our students involve developing new creative writing topics. With the foundation of knowledge and skills they have built using the new resources, they are now ready to take on more complex challenges and explore their subjects in greater depth.

    Your contributions have not only provided us with the tools we needed but have also inspired a newfound passion for learning among our students. We are deeply grateful for your support and excited to continue sharing our progress with you. Thank you for being a vital part of our educational journey.

    Warm regards,

  • Stepping Into the Digital Dayz!

    Funded Aug 25, 2022

    Thank you so much for supporting our classroom. I look forward to getting it all set up for my students. Technology is so important and we will definitely use it as much as we can this year and in the future. We can’t thank you enough for your support.”

  • Blended Learning in 2021!

    Funded Aug 25, 2021

    My students were able to use these headphones daily to complete their lessons on I ready and other web based assignments I gave them throughout the school year. Each headphone was numbered for each student. They were also able to carry them to their other classes to be used as well. These headphones never gave us any problems and they were durable and lasted the entire school. I will definitely continue to use this brand in the near future. My students were very grateful for their headphones and I now have the same set to use with my new students this year.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Tate

Integrating technology effectively in my classroom will provide my students opportunities to see the world in the comfort of our classroom and it will change the way I teach and the way mt students learn. As a social studies teacher, one of my roles is to model appropriate uses of technology in the classroom. I am in desperate need of an Apple 13 inch MacBook Pro. I want to bring my students into contact with firsthand accounts of events as discussed in our social studies curriculum. This innovative device will help me to relate my subject matter in a personal way to events of the past and promote a deeper understanding of history as a series of human events. I would be able to access libraries with artifacts, videos, and virtual field trips from all over the world using the MacBook because of its powerful classroom apps and how it delivers unmatched ease of use, keeping the focus on learning, not on the technology. In each of our units, we will look at printed primary resources and artifacts that support the objective for the day. Students are always mesmerized when looking at ancient artifacts and examples from various time periods. I want to bring those locations to my students in the classroom by bringing virtual and world field trips to classroom along with having access to interactive libraries and museums all over the world to display for their viewing. What a way to bring the world to us!
