Extra, Extra Read All About It!
Funded Sep 12, 2021Each month my students look forward to the new issues of Scholastic News. They enjoy learning about topics and events that might not have otherwise learned. The magazines are also great extensions for material and skills we have learned about.
The skills worksheets that go along with the magazines are great practice and reinforcement. In a recent February issue students enjoyed cracking a code and writing their own. The reading quizzes that go along with each issue are a great assessment tool for me too!
Thanks to you, I'm very lucky that my students have this fabulous resource! We are all very thankful for your generosity.”

Two More Incredible iPads
Funded Mar 8, 2019We have been loving having two extra iPads in our classroom! Now that we have 6 iPads more students are able to utilize them and the programs that we use. As we prepared for the state exams they became especially helpfully. We used Freckle to practice our reading and math skills. We also watched videos using Khan Academy in math. Prodigy is a math program that we use as a reward. The students love it! The iPads are especially useful for our non- English speaking student. Her English and communication skills have improved with the help of the iPads.
We are very grateful for you and your generous donation that helped us receive the iPads. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!”

Funded Sep 16, 2018We have been actively using our iPads in the classroom for the past two months. The student's faces when I shared the news with them the first few days of school was priceless. Their reactions when we actually received the package of iPads a few days later at school was even more priceless. Some reactions were "I didn't know we were getting REAL iPads", "This is the best day ever", and the positive reactions go on and on. Now the students are always eager to have the chance to use the iPads.
We use the iPads almost daily especially in math. We have an online component for our math program and students have been able to log in during the math lesson to watch videos or get extra practice. Students also utilize various apps. One math app is called Prodigy and the students LOVE it! They are always begging me to go on and use it. We also use another app called Freckle and we use it for math and reading practice. Our iPads were very useful during our research unit in social studies. We did not have to leave the classroom and sign up for the computer lab. We were able to research about ancient civilizations right in the classroom!
I am looking forward to many more opportunities where my students can utilize the iPads. The impact has been so incredible. It motivates many students to stay on task so that they will have an opportunity to use the iPads. It also has been very helpful for students that need extra support. As we approach the holiday season I will be especially thinking of you and all of your generosity. My students and I will forever be grateful for your support in their educational journey.”
