Chromebooks to Challenge Us!

Funded Feb 2, 2018

I need you to know that when the Chrome books showed up yesterday, it felt like Christmas! My students and I all cheered as the package came through my door.

Today, I already made adjustments to my normal teaching to make sure every child had their hands on technology for an allotted time. The students were so excited because I gave them many options. They were able to play math games on Compass Learning or Dream box. Both programs are ability based, and are streamlined to meet each individual child's needs! Some students chose to research and collect more information for their writing pieces they are working on. It was amazing to see how excited they were to find unique facts to enhance their writing. Other students, took some time to complete AR tests. These are reading comprehension tests where they can earn points for rewards. I appreciate the fact that every child I saw today was able to use technology in my classroom.

Some of my students do not have computers or tablets at home. This gift is especially special to them! They are thrilled to have the opportunity to learn using this technology on a regular basis. Thank you for enhancing their learning experience in my classroom.

Thanks again!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Dillmore
