We’ll Read, Write, & Research Like 21st Century Thinkers

Funded Oct 31, 2019

Thank you so much for donating to our technology project, and helping to supply our classroom with 3 HP Chromebooks! During ELA class, we completed a unit about Communities. As a culminating project, the students completed a research project on the neighborhoods of Queens, NY. They used the Chromebooks in small groups to search Google for information about famous people and places in the area. Individual students have used the computers during ELA workshop to work on reading comprehension skills using websites such as ReadTheory.org. In March, we will use the Chromebooks to research during our Wild Weather Unit in Science Class. In April, pairs of students will use them to compose their own poetry on ReadWriteThink.org to display on our Poetry Month Bulletin Board in the hallway outside of our classroom. It is great to have our own computers in the classroom to support the students whenever there is a teachable moment. Thank you again for your generous donation!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Walsh
