  • Secure Our Technology for Our Future

    Funded Sep 16, 2019

    Thank you for your support in this project. We are so glad to have a place to keep our laptops securely. It has kept them safe while charging at the same time. What a great feeling to not have to worry about them being misplaced.

    We have been getting quite a bit of practice with them lately as we are currently studying how to research and take notes on a topic to write an informational report.

    Once again I thank you for your continued support to our classroom. Know that your good deed puts a smile on the face of a child daily.”

  • Technology to Advance Education & Research

    Funded Dec 24, 2018

    Thank you so much for your generosity towards our classroom.

    Our class is already enjoying using these laptops to improve their math and literacy skills as well as for research. They are now able to work together when they finish the class work on technology driven work across the curriculum which they are unable to do at home. I am so pleased to see them smiling and laughing while they work collaboratively at school. It is not only a tool for our struggling students to help with their deficiencies but also an avenue for our advanced learners to further challenge their minds. This gift was such a blessing for us! Thank you again!!! Wishing you success and happiness always!”

  • ENL Technology Opportunity

    Funded Apr 6, 2018

    Thank you so much for your generosity. I can't tell you how excited my students are to use their new laptops. We now have 4 working computers as opposed to 2 for 31 students to share. My beginner ENL students have been using them to work on improving their reading and speaking skills . They are working so hard and having so much fun while they are doing it too! My ultimate goal is to have a computer for each and every student. But as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day, so we wait patiently for generous donors such as yourself! Again I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Know that you have made a difference in a child's life.”

Scholastic News is a great nonfiction/current events magazine made to interest fifth graders. Providing this resource to my students allows them to receive real world news in a high interest and age appropriate way. Each week, students are able to participate in a debate based on the information provided in the magazine. Students pull out facts and think about the pros and cons for each topic and work with their peers to plan their debate. Students will also be able to analyze mathematical situations and provide solutions that apply to a real world setting, making them able to compete with others. This will be done with the DynaMath magazines.
