  • Emergent Writers and Beyond!

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    Thank you for donating to my classroom project, "Emergent Writers and Beyond". These LCD tablets have helped my students enjoy writing their names, letters and high frequency words. My students have been so eager to use them. The moment I placed the tablets in our reading stations, students immediately took to them right away. The tablets are so easy to use and are so fun. Students are able to erase their work with just a touch of a button

    I have also used the tablets during math. Writing numbers is never a chore when you are writing on a LCD tablet. The bright colors and the no mess makes it so appealing to the littles.

    This tool is by far very exciting to use and the students beg to use them everyday.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thomas

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and one other donor.
  • Document Camera Classroom Connections!

    Funded Jul 15, 2021

    I would like to thank you for supporting my classroom project "Document Camera Classroom Connections!" Due to your generosity, my emergent learners have been immensely impacted. The document camera allows me to project math, reading and writing materials onto the smartboard allowing all students to see from the front or back of the classroom.

    During small group reading instruction, students have also enjoyed pre-recorded activities I have created by using the document camera. The pre-recorded lessons allows each group to proceed at their own pace, stopping or pausing when necessary.

    In the near future, I would like to have my students use the document camera to project their activities. The possibilities are endless on how technology can be used to motivate all students to learn. My students are becoming independent learners due to your support.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thomas

    This classroom project was brought to life by UScellular and 5 other donors.
This year has been quite challenging for my students as we began the year with hybrid learning. The students were introduced to various forms of technology. Students have the opportunity to work on Chromebooks at home and at school. Google Meet is a platform that is used to communicate with students and families. The use of a document camera would allow me to present objects and text to my students as well as recording lessons in advance for home and school use. Document cameras give students the ability to see an object or text clearly from anywhere in the classroom, which is important for comprehension and understanding. Document cameras replace the need for costly handouts and help to save paper.
