Funded Nov 8, 2023I work in a school performing arts school that is apple certified! This means everything we do it technological. The school it self is paper free and all assignments are completed on an ipad. With that being said, I like to offer a break from the screens when I work with my kids. This is where the whiteboard and the markers come in handy! It gives them an opportunity to actually practice some fine motor skills that unfortunately some kids lack due to limited use of pencils and paper. They also LOVE to make it a competition to see who can write down the cleanest answers, or the quickest answers, etc. Whiteboards and markers are such a necessity for us! They will be used every day!
The calculators are also just as necessary! Especially given the demographic/location of my school. Simply put, not everyone can afford a calculator and there are not enough at the school to go around. Math teachers are supposed to have a class set provided by the school but not every teacher was lucky enough to be granted with a class set.
I unfortunately was not lucky enough to be granted a class set. Having these calculators will ensure that my students have the tools that they need when they are in class! I am so incredibly honored and grateful for everyone's help.”
With gratitude,
