Classroom Essentials: Manual to Digital

Funded Dec 7, 2022

I cannot thank you enough for your generosity in funding my "Classroom Essentials: Manual to Digital" project. My students continue to be excited to use the much-needed supplies. When I first presented these items, especially the computer mouses and earphones, they were ecstatic, and I had to be quick to calm them. They were also pleased to receive a folder to keep their notes and handouts organized. And it never fails that daily someone needs a pencil. However, I no longer have to begrudge these utensils since they are so plentiful!

At the beginning of each class period, students engage in their learning lab on sites such as Duolingo, Freerice, Vocabulary.com, and NoRedInk. Everyone who needs earphones is able to have a personal pair as well as check out a cordless mouse for the day. Surprisingly, these instruments came in handy for a period of time that could not have been predicted. For one particular Spanish class, we had to convert to hybrid teaching and learning for a short while due to shared space with another class. It was quite interesting, but we made it work, thanks to the technology you provided!”

With gratitude,
