• Do You See What I See?

  Funded Dec 3, 2024

  This Apple tv has been a game changer for our program. No longer do I have to spend time upwards of 30 mins. to set up and 30 mins. to break down when its all said and done. This takes up valuable time that can otherwise be used to teach. Also, this device enables me to maintain a stationary teaching spot so that I can have a 360 degree view of the instructional environment. I can ensure that every student is on task.

  Perhaps one important aspect that helps my students stay accountable is using a screen monitoring application that is projected on big screen tv so that students are discouraged from using other screeens other than what they should be doing.\”

• Let the Games Begin

  Funded Dec 3, 2024

  The cart that was donated to has made a significant difference is motivating our students to do better in p.e class. Our see the equipment they have since the basket allows students to see the equipment that will enable them to have fun.

  An example of how this increases motivation is by the students keeping their focus as they run. Students are run faster so they can get the piece of equipment that they prefer

  My students were exhilarated when they say the cart because it was allowed them to see the various kinds of equipment that they can use.”

• Look at the Big Picture

  Funded Nov 13, 2024

  First and foremost, I would like to thank you on behalf our students and myself. The big screen T.V you donated has enhanced our students' learning in many ways and as result students have new levels of engagement. For example, student groups who are struggling can get targeted support. The T.V is an important tool used as a learning station where students can revisit and reinforce content.

  Also, I project learning material/ resources since some students do not have Chromebooks for various reasons. The most common is family opted out. This makes and inequitable learning environment so this makes it inclusive where all students have equal access to content.”

• Let's Book it

  Funded Jun 16, 2024

  Thank you for giving us this bookcase. This will allow me to gather a collection of informational, fictional, and learning resources for our students.

  I plan to use these bookshelf also to put professional resources that are readily available for me to make better instructional choices such as making a quick modification to a lesson plan.

  Also, having a bookshelf will reinforce the idea that teachers are continually learning new things to apply to instructional practices.

  Lastly, I can have a place to put images of students practicing a skill or engaging in a fun activity.”

• Stepping Into the Future

  Funded May 29, 2024

  Thank you so much for giving me these items. This projector and screen will allow students to view instructions at a larger scale. I can split the screens to translate information so that all students have equitable access to the academic information.

  We also have the capability to have large academic group competitions such as "Kahoot." Also, we can have whole class incentives in the form of movies, or dance parties.

  My students were happy to see that they have high-quality equipment to help them learn.”

• Let’s Go Beyond Our Years

  Funded Jun 3, 2024

  This computer has made it more efficient for me to teach. It allows me project instructions, formative assessments (exit tickets) while I complete routine class, and management task. Also has enabled me to work with small groups who need further inter invention while allowing the students to continue working towards learning targets.

  The students where excited to see that they have top line tools to learn. In fact, I was able to train student to set up the laptop so that it projects the necessary information. The students need to complete assignments.

  This this computer has revolutionized the way students learn and I teach in our class.”
