  • Technology and Engineering Fun!

    Funded Nov 8, 2023

    I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful donation to my classroom. My students have enjoyed the Osmos as much as I have. They love going to the technology center because there is an activity of interest and ability for each child. The students have enjoyed exploring the different tools and apps, where they explore, create and learn. I search for differentiated and engaging ways to reinforce skills, express creativity and have fun learning and the Osmos have given them that opportunity. Again, words can't express how thankful we are for these wonderful tools.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Orantes

  • Light Table Fun!

    Funded May 15, 2023

    The students love the new light table! They had never seen one before, so their faces lit up when I turned on the light table. They are excited to explore the new tools during math and phonics centers. During free choice, students use the light table to trace pictures of their favorite characters.

    Our Occupational Therapist was also very excited to see the light table and asked if she can use it during therapy sessions with he students because she saw how engaged the students were.

    The next steps are to continue with the Fall theme and get some transparent leaves for counters to practice counting. I plan to add different transparent accessories that go with the holidays and seasons, to keep the students excited and engaged.

    Thank you for the donations and the smiles on the students faces filled my heart.”

These tools and apps on the iPads will be available to students at home to continue to learn and be engaged in our interactive lessons. My students will be able to take their iPads and easily carry them as they read on the carpet or our class library as they log onto EPIC to read. The laptop will really help just in case students and I need to quarantine and we have to continue to do Zoom meetings. My laptop will facilitate creating engaging and interactive lessons for them, especially since they are all at different levels.
