Cultural and Linguistic Responsive 5th Grade Classroom

Funded Nov 4, 2023

Thank you so much for this wonderful contribution to my classroom. It has made such an impact for my students, many of whom come from very low income households and do not have access to technology other than what is found at school. Since I set up my technology, I have seen an increase in attendance 82%. Students that rarely come to school have now started showing up everyday. Also, my "difficult student" has quieted down and began focusing on completing his work since he knows that using the printer is his reward. My other students have begun using coding for the first time in their lives and are learning how to troubleshoot on their own.

Productivity in my class has also increased for independent work since introducing my new flexible seating options. The students love having the ability to sit where they want and now they can be comfortable and still write efficiently. Overall the morale in my room has grown so much. I couldn't be happier with the overall change in my students. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Pedersen
