  • iPads Enhance Learning

    Funded Sep 23, 2019

    I am deeply humbled and grateful for giving my students this great learning opportunity. My students, are able to use the iPad in many different ways. My students are learning how to operate and use the iPad for their educational needs. This is very important because they now know that an iPad can help them do reminders, study guides, as well as presentations. I am looking forward for the endless opportunities my students will have to keep on learning. Teachers need to be looking for different ways to have students engage in learning and as a teacher I am willing to do what it takes to help them become lifelong learners.”

    Thank you for your continuous support to my classroom. It is because of kind and generous people like you that our students are able to experience instruction support at its finest.

    My students are now able to work in the classroom and print at their convenience. If they have an assignment due, they do not have to worry of where they are going to print because the printer is for their school use. It gives me great joy to know that my students are not lacking technology awareness since they are being exposed to it daily in my classroom.

  • Sit Down, Relax and Hear the Beat!

    Funded Feb 12, 2019

    Thank you so much for your continuous support. My students are now able to enjoy different flexible seating options. They are able to rotate and choose different seating options.

    When my students first saw the bean bags my students screamed of excitement. They were anxiously waiting for their turn to sit on the chair. Since I have 21 students in my classroom, I had to develop a system that would allow for everyone to have an opportunity to sit on them.

    It is our goal as a class to use our flexible seating options to enhance our learning. Giving my students an opportunity to choose their learning preferential seating has helped us in many different ways such as better classroom management skills and more meaningful learning experiences.”

  • Let's Get Building!

    Funded Dec 12, 2018

    Thank you for donating to our classroom. When I told my students we were getting STEM educational games they were so excited and kept asking me everyday when would our games get here. So when the day finally came their reaction was priceless.

    We use our STEM games as much as possible. Usually, I try to integrate Reading with Science and Math. When students start making the connection that everything around us has to do with Reading, Math and Science I know true meaningful learning is taking place in our classroom.

    Our STEAM games will continue to be part of our learning classroom. Using them frequently not only helps the students make connections, but makes them eager to learn as they learn to build and construct.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Vergara

My students are independent and eager to learn. They are always engaged when we are doing whole group instruction. Our flexible seating is almost complete, but we are almost where we need to be!
