New Tech in the Classroom
Funded May 4, 2022I was so excited to have this project funded and am truly grateful for the generosity of all donors. Having access to new technology in our classroom was big news among our students. With the addition of more modern technology like an iPad, students have since become more engaged in their learning. Many shared they had knowledge on use it and were helping each other use it as an instructional tool. They were very excited to have a new device; especially during un-packing the iPad at school! They could not believe that it was donated to our classroom.
The most helpful way the iPad has helped my students in the classroom is when note-taking. Oftentimes, it is difficult for some to take notes from the board due to visual impairments. Or with the mechanics of note-taking; such as organizing ideas on their notebook, writing neatly on the lines, or with spelling new words. I have been able to use the iPad to snap a picture of teacher's notes, and have students reference the iPad to jot down notes. It becomes easier for them to follow along, participate, and stay on-task.”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and one other donor.Offering Flexible Seating in Our Class!
Funded Aug 12, 2021Thank you so much for supporting my project. Your support helped serve my students with exceptional needs and welcome them into an inclusive classroom environment. I was able to incorporate all materials into my classroom and my students were very appreciate to have access to flexible seating. When my class first saw the Yoga Ball Chair in the classroom, they were so excited and they all wanted to take a turn! Fortunately, I had enough Yoga balls for everyone to use during brain breaks. I would love to continue establishing a safe sensory space/quiet corner, so next I would like to buy a foldable chair. THANK YOU AGAIN!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 3 other donors.Our First Novel Study of the Year!
Funded Aug 10, 2021I am very grateful for your generosity. Thanks to you, you helped me making this project a reality. It has since been many weeks since the class set of novels was delivered and I can genuinely say that each of my students enjoyed reading the novel. All of my students were very appreciative and thankful to you, our donors. You helped us engage in numerous culturally relevant conversations and helped engage all diverse learners. When we finished reading the novel, all students were so excited and immediately asked if we could read the sequel!”
