Microphone Headsets and Math Manipulatives!
Funded Jan 21, 2022Thank you so much for donating computer headsets with microphones for my third grade students. Since the students have been able to record their voices, they have been able to give feedback on their reading, explain how they have solved problems, narrated stories, and recorded reading for fluency practice. Due to Covid restrictions, it has taken students longer to learn to read and write. Using speech to text voice typing has enabled many of my students to write on the computer and be successful when they could not have achieved by writing alone. The quality of their recordings is so much better with the microphones. Thanks to this technology! The students have been successful even if they were behind in reading, writing, and spelling.
Thank you for the.
Math manipulatives made it possible to understand abstract concepts using concrete activities. Thanks to Donor's choose , for making this fun learning possible!”

Outstanding Wise Learners (OWLS) Love to Choose Where to Sit
Funded Oct 17, 2018Thank you for providing the funds to add a choice of seating for our class! Each time we opened a new package the students got excited to try the new seats. Because the students get to choose, they sit where they can concentrate the best. Moving around the room throughout the day helps them release energy and feel a sense of control over their surroundings. Students are happier and more relaxed not being tied to a desk and chair, though some still choose to sit at a desk for certain assignments. Parents, administrators, substitutes, and other teachers have watched how our classroom functions and have expressed encouragement, compliments, and even a desire to do something similar for other students. I can truly say that our classroom is comfortable and welcoming because the students have accepted responsibility for their seating and behavior and want this to continue. Very few times have students been asked to go back to a desk to be able to focus and work better. Thank you for helping me provide more seating choices so all of my students have the chance to choose the best learning spot for them each day.”
