  • Robots for Future Coders

    Funded Nov 15, 2018

    Thank you so much for the robots that you funded for my classroom. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what I want to show them. Technology is so amazing and I want them to have access to as much as they can so that we can explore and learn.

    These Cozmo robots are super cool and they can do all kinds of fun things. To begin we are going to just explore what we can do with the programs that the robots can already do. Next, we are going to start to practice coding in our own commands so that the students can make Cozmo do specific tasks. It is going to be amazing.

    Again, we all truly appreciate the love and caring that came from giving to our classroom. So many kids are amazed that their are people out there willing to buy them supplies so that they can learn and be successful. You are truly amazing and we wish you the best!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Thorne

  • Inspiring Ipads for Future Leaders!

    Funded Jan 8, 2018

    Thank you so much for your support. The Ipads that you funded helped my students tremendously. They got to get onto more learning websites and engage in targeted skills set just for them. The growth seen was amazing and the love of learning they showed will grow for years to come.

    The lack of technology in schools is alarming. The need is great and just a few pieces of new tech in each class can make a world of difference. Adding four tablets gave that many more students a chance to focus on high leverage skills while I was teaching small groups or during centers time.

    We really appreciate the generosity that you have shown and the caring to give to a cause that will help to shape the future of the world.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Thorne

This year I have moved into the roll of Technology Lab teacher. I work with all of the classes from kindergarten to fourth grade. I see five classes a day and have to get them engaged and focused on technology. It has been an interesting transition and I look forward to the challenges that are to come in the future months.
