French on iPads with Apple TV
Funded Aug 12, 2017The Apple TV has been instrumental in successfully integrating our classroom iPads in our French instruction and learning. We use it to project notes, videos, music, etc. Students are able to share their work by sharing their screen from their seat- no cords needed!
The Apple TV has also improved my students' collaboration. Speaking to each other is an essential aspect of learning a world language, and the students have greater access to native speakers as well as the ability to share their skills with their peers.
Your contribution has made our French classroom a dynamic place to experience culture and language. Thank you very much for supporting our students!”

Table for Our Literacy Workshop
Funded Feb 12, 2017Your generous donation toward our table for literacy workshop has been greatly appreciated by both my students and myself. The table has taken its place in our classroom. Four students are seated there regularly, but it is used by many others as we do different activities throughout the year.
The table has been used for regular reading and writing instruction, collaborative conversations among the students, and project creation (both digitally and with posters and paper). The table has also been used for reward time, where students play Scrabble or other literacy games using the time they have earned by doing their job in our classroom community.
When the students first saw the new table, they ran over to it, so very excited that it replaced the table that was broken and falling over. They even argued over who would get to sit at the brand new table! Students have done a great job taking turns with the table!
Thank you again for making our students more comfortable in our classroom.”

Chromecast & Headphones for Our 1:1 Classroom
Funded Feb 12, 2017Your generous donation toward our Chromecast and headphones have made for a more positive learning experience for our students. Technology is now seamlessly integrated into our classroom!
Students are able to have audio on their Chromebooks without disturbing other students. They are using the headphones to listen to correct pronunciation of vocabulary words, to listen to audiobooks, to watch videos, and to immerse themselves in virtual experiences to build their background knowledge.
The Chromecast is used to wirelessly display their Chromebook screen from anywhere in the room. This has allowed me to walk around the room while holding my computer and maintain the display at the front of the classroom. Students have also used this to project and share their work with the entire class.
Thank you for making our classroom a more dynamic place to learn.”
