  • Read and Write Adventures: Empowering First Graders

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    I am thrilled to share the incredible impact your generous contributions have had on our classroom. Thanks to your support, we have been able to acquire [ a lot of resources like reading and writing centers, a carpet, storage bins...], which have transformed our learning environment.

    Our students have been actively engaging with the new materials. They use the manipulatives and the centers for our wokrstations. This hands-on experience not only reinforced their understanding of physics concepts but also sparked a newfound enthusiasm for learning.

    The excitement was palpable when the students first saw the new materials. Their faces lit up with curiosity and joy, and they couldn't wait to dive in. One student exclaimed, "This is the best day ever!" It was heartwarming to see their genuine excitement and eagerness to explore.

    Your support has made a significant difference in our classroom, and we are deeply grateful. We look forward to sharing more updates with you as our students continue to grow and learn.

    Thank you once again for your generosity and for believing in our students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Garcia del Rio

  • FUNtastic Math and Science Center for My Little Big Brains

    Funded Dec 20, 2021

    Thank you so much for all of the support during this school year. I have been able to accomplish many things for my students with all resources provided.

    The donation has made a huge impact in my daily teaching practice.

    My students have been able to interact more and create unforgettable learning experiences. This Ipad has allowed us to interact using Kahoot, Peardeck, and whiteboard. Everything has been a lot easier not having to carry around my laptop. If anyone's computer or iPad runs out of battery we have out classroom iPad as back up.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Garcia del Rio

The use of the iPad is incorporated in my daily Math and Science centers in my first-grade classroom. This school year, we are all back to school to teach face to face again, therefore, it is essential for my lessons to have more than three tablets for my students (the school provided just a few). I have implemented the use of digital technology in my lessons because it complements the existing teaching approaches and methodologies in Math and Science, rather than replacing them. The donations to this project will help to improve my students' numeracy and problem-solving skills in a more engaging and exciting way than traditional approaches. By implementing the use of tablets in my Math and Science centers, my students will have instant input and feedback using interactive apps that facilitate their learning. They will be responsible for their own learning since the iPad allows them to work at their own pace. Research shows that iPads increase children’s confidence and ownership of learning. My students and I truly need your support to make this happen. Thanks from the deep of my heart.
