  • Technology in the Classroom

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    I really appreciate the donations for the items that my students received. The students were very excited to use the iPad and tablet. These devices are used as a reward for when the students are finished with an assignment. This gives the students motivation to complete their work.

    On these devices, students play learning games and other fun, educational activities. Students in my class love technology and are motivated to finish their assignments so they can use these devices. They love playing games and doing tasks on the devices.

    The students that have especially warmed up to this new technology are my more advanced students. They usually finish their assignments very quickly so this gives them an opportunity to continue learning while others in the class are still working. They love being on the tablets and are very happy to have it in the classroom. I'm very appreciative to have these products in my classroom as well. Once again, thank you for everything.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Menendez

  • Becoming a Better Distance Learning Teacher

    Funded Aug 12, 2020

    Thank you so much for the laptop that I received. It has been great being able to see my students online and be able to take attendance and look at plans while having them still on the screen. This laptop helps me organize my plans and look for strategies that can help with my instruction. I've also been able to keep track of my students and be in contact with parents easier because I can check messages wherever I go.

    The new laptop has excellent features that allow me to make wonderful lessons for my students. I'm able to use many of its features to create PowerPoints, graphic organizers, presentations, and much more. I'm able to conduct my lessons with ease by having more control of the class virtually.

    Students can tell that I am able to be more attentive, show videos, and present ideas much easier with the laptop. I'm able to stay online with my students while being able to find resources and materials that can help my class with instruction. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with this laptop. Once again, thank you very much.”

    With gratitude,

  • Technology Is Our Future

    Funded Nov 7, 2019

    I would like to thank everyone that donated and took the time to look into my project. My students were very excited when the products arrived. I have been using the new products as a means to motivate the students in the classroom. They look forward to being able to use them everyday.

    One of the things that they love most is that they get to play educational games that make learning fun for them. I like to use the products as motivation for when they finish their classwork. I usually let the students use the tablets after they have turned in their assignment. I make sure that their work is completed correctly and that they have extra time to be on the tablet.

    The students that have especially warmed up to this new technology are my more advanced students. They usually finish their assignments very quickly so this gives them an opportunity to continue learning while others in the class are still working. They love being on the tablets and are very happy to have it in the classroom. I'm very appreciative to have these products in my classroom as well.”

Our classroom currently only has 7 laptops available for my students to use. We use the laptops to do i-Ready lessons, Reflex Math, and IXL Learning. The students also go to math sites that motivate them and keep them engaged. I also assign lessons for the students on those websites. Technology is the future and our classroom lacks the resources to provide our students with what they need to succeed. I would like to have an extra laptop when my students break into centers and do independent work. I feel that it would make our differentiated instruction much better and the students would be excited. I would really appreciate the help
