  • Science, Supplies, and Snacks, Oh My!

    Funded Aug 17, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generosity. My students will be pleased to use this equipment as well as enjoy these new materials and snacks. I am pleased to have materials that some students do without. We appreciate all of you. I cannot wait to dissect the owl pellets. Woohoo!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Passantino

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 3 other donors.

  • Can You Hear Me Now?

    Funded Dec 23, 2021

    I was overwhelmed by the generosity of friends and strangers. My kiddos are loving the headphones. Instead of being embarrassed about needing headphones for their accommodation, they are proud because the headphones are new and look good. Best of all, students who did not have headphones now have access to read aloud for tests. I am grateful to have these for their use.

    They also come in handy when students are studying academic videos. They can use the headphones and not distract others.

    Thanks again!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Passantino

    This classroom project was brought to life by Young Sheldon on CBS and 4 other donors.

  • It Is Getting Hot in Here, So Take the Temperature!

    Funded Apr 24, 2022

    Thanks for your generous support of the Science department. It is difficult to secure funding for all of the Science equipment that is needed to do the inquiry labs that we want to do in class. The students remember what they do more than what they are told. Thanks again.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Passantino

My students will use these headphones to enable the Text To Speech feature on reading assignments and tests. This is a necessary tool for non-native speakers and students with learning an attention deficits. According to reading rockets.com, since TTS lets kids both see and hear text when reading, it creates a multisensory reading experience. Researchers have found that the combination of seeing and hearing text when reading: -Improves word recognition. -Increases the ability to pay attention and remember information while reading. -Allows kids to focus on comprehension instead of sounding out words. -Increases kids’ staying power for reading assignments. -Helps kids recognize and fix errors in their own writing understanding. Many of my students are nonnative speakers and students with learning differences and attention deficits.
