  • Through the Lens of an Oculus, Experiences Await! Part 2

    Funded Jan 31, 2022

    The oculus has been an incredible tool in our classroom. This is something my students have never experienced before and have had so much fun with. Other students from the other classrooms have wanted to be a part of what we are doing.

    My students have completed all of the tutorials and our next adventure is to use the Anne Frank app. We will be able to explore the home where she hid from the Nazi's. This will go along with our World War II unit. We are also using them as incentives to get our work done and to have good behavior. Thank you so much for your incredible gift to my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Rutter

  • Snacks for My Very Hungry "Caterpillars"

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for your kindness toward my students. As you see, meeting students' physical needs helps us to meet their academic needs. They will be able to concentrate better and feel safe in our care knowing their needs are met. If you are familiar with the story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" you will know that the food provided helps it turn into a beautiful butterfly at the end. You are providing an avenue for this with your contribution! Thank you immensely!”

After receiving an Oculus Quest 2 over the holidays, I realized what a powerful educational tool it was. I also saw the potential of the Oculus to allow my students to have experiences they will always remember. My hope is that it creates a burning desire in my students to move outside of the walls of this city and actually personally experience our beautiful world. One of the most important aspects that should be built in childhood is background knowledge, the Oculus will be another tool for building their knowledge.
