  • Digital Learning

    Funded Mar 16, 2021

    Thank you so much! As i am sure you can imagine, COVID-19 has presented an abundance of challenges. Having to go fully digital over night is not an easy task. Thanks to your support with this donation, I will be able to purchase digital slides to support our phonics unit and other digital resources to build classroom community.

    I am so excited to have something prepared for my students to be able to see, no matter where they are learning from! I can not thank you enough for your support. These visuals will be great for all of my students and will support all of their learning styles!

  • Model Magic Landforms

    Funded Mar 3, 2020

    thank you so much for funding this project. Thanks to you myst students will be able to show me what they know. Whenever the opportunity arrises, I make it my mission to have students show me their understanding of concepts in a hands on student centered way.

    With the donated model magic, my students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of landforms in a new and exciting way. They were thrilled to find out that they would be able to build a selected landform. We are going to have so much fun together!

  • Bridge the Distance

    Funded May 28, 2020

    thank you so much for donating to my classroom. your support means so much to me. thanks to you, my students were provided with materials that allow them to get creative, and get their hands on their own learning. Distance learning has created many obstacles in our daily routine. The materials you provided me with allowed to meet the needs of all my learners, even at a distance. I value and cherish my children so much, and it means the world to me to know that you do too. They were so excited to receive new books to read and look at, and the Osmo/Apple Pen made that possible!”

  • Brain Boxes for Firsties!

    Funded Jan 2, 2020

    I would like to say thank you so much for your support in funding our classroom. I can't even begin to explain the excitement in the children's eyes when they say all of the amazing activities inside the Amazon package that arrived.

    Thanks to your contribution, our morning meeting time is even more meaningful. The children come into the classroom excited to unpack and go off to a center. The conversations they have as the collaborate are amazing as they create buildings, towers, mazes, amusement parks... the list goes on! The children are being introduced to the design process as they brainstorm and problem solve when something does not got as expected in their projects.

    Thank you for for your support!”

  • Writing With Flair!

    Funded Jan 5, 2019

    Thank you so much for your contribution! My students are so eager and excited to begin writer's workshop each morning thanks to your donation. When we received the packaged they were bubbling with curiosity to find out what was inside. As I revealed the gift inside the room immediately began to echo with cheers. The students immediately began to call out different ways they would use the pens, and stories that they wanted to write with them. Thank you for supporting our future with your donation.

    best,

Though our students are provided with multiple opportunities to share their learning, we are looking to provide a more collaborative experience for students to assess one another. iPads give the opportunity to utilize FlipGrid as a curriculum enhancing resource for assessment. The iPads, would give students more access to this program. A significant benefit to each student in the class working on his/her own FlipGrid is the option to share his/her own ideas and learning. This also provides teachers with an opportunity to assess an entire class of students at the same time. With these iPads, we will have increased flexibility for usage when they are needed. Beyond FlipGrid, having a set of iPads in the classroom offers a variety of learning tools. With an iPad at their fingertips, the students will have a whole digital world opened up for them. For above-level math students, teachers can differentiate the content being delivered to them through various math game applications. In math, giving a child with autism who has sensory issues manipulatives to manage may be too over-stimulating. However, when they are able to use manipulatives on an application they are still getting the benefits of the manipulatives without the over-stimulation. I am especially eager to introduce struggling, at-risk, and students with learning disabilities to apps and games that make learning fun and exciting again. For a low-level reader, looking at the same set of books can be monotonous. Give them a digital bookshelf where hundreds of books will be available, and their interest will be piqued. Likewise, students learn language best through exposure. I believe the students' language skills will become stronger through increased experiences with books and word games on the iPads.
