Art + Play + Critical Thinking = Future Problem Solvers
Funded Jul 11, 2017It is difficult to put into words the dramatic difference your donation has had on my classroom. The mornings look drastically different from just a year before. The students spend each morning working on a skill in a unique, fun, and engaging way. Each week students signs up for what 21st Century Learning Station they would like to work on. They then spend each morning working on that skill for a week. These stations operate using the materials you purchased for my classroom.
It was so great to see students excited when we first introduced the idea of changing their morning work. Students are highly motivated to come to school in the morning and get to work on their activity. It has also allowed me to connect with students in a unique way and see what other hidden talents they have. Students have solved Rubik's cubes, painted pictures, solved puzzles, and learned how to play chess!
Moving forward my hope is that the practicing of their 21st Century Skills is not just something they do in the morning but becomes a routine for how they function as a student and citizen. My goal is to continue to find ways for them to display their skills in various forms.
Thank you again for your contribution! There is no way it could have happened without you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Sergey Brin Family Foundation and 7 other donors.An iPad Classroom!
Funded Apr 18, 2014There is so much to say about the impact that you have had on my classroom! The iPad in the classroom has made a world of difference! It is used everyday to enhance learning an allowed me to create a technology integrated classroom!
Students use a range of educational apps to develop and enrich their reading and math abilities. My favorite use so far is research. Students have used the iPad to complete research on energy, forces, and motion, Greek mythology, Great Depression, and the Civil Rights Era. It is amazing what they can do with technology in their hands.
The iPad has taken the level of engagement to new heights. Students are consistently interacting with the iPad. Students take their own attendance, work on MyOn reading and IXL math apps, complete research, and take pictures to share their learning on twitter! The iPad has allowed me to be a more effective and engaging teacher, but also allows the students to take more control of their learning!
Thank you so much for you donations! The impact you have had will be felt for many classrooms to come!”
