iPad to Success
Funded Jan 24, 2023Thank you so much for your investment into our classroom. With the iPad, we have been able to transform our classroom with motivation and engagement. Scholars are able to showcase their work using the mirror tool and/or taking photos to post to the board quickly and efficiently.
The iPad has also helped the ELLs translate documents and have conversations with their peers who may speak a different language than them. This has helped improve social and emotional learning as well because they are able to connect with their peers on another level.
The scholars are also excited to look into more educational apps to use. So far we have utilized Kahoot, YouTube, Google Translate, Smart Notebook, Google Drive / Docs / Slides and Canva. We are looking into accessing photoshop and other editing software as well to make pamphlets and 3D modeling.”

Funded Sep 10, 2019Thank you so much for giving my students the materials they need to be successful in yoga. They have been able to maintain stress management, improve movement, practice mindfulness, and overall become more positive individuals. I was able to get the yoga club started with materials enough for 20 students. These students practice weekly and so many more would love to join.
My students were extremely excited when they first saw the materials! So many of them were ecstatic to open them up and get started on learning how to properly use them. So many students ask to join the club because they see how impactful it has been for other students.
Next steps for my students would be to keep up with their weekly practice of yoga, and daily practice of mindfulness. I would love to get more materials donated to expand the Mindful Movement club and purpose.”

Qwak-ulators. Calculators for All!
Funded Mar 17, 2018Thank you again for your donations towards making this dream possible. With the 8 new calculators I received, the students have been progressing even further in mathematics. Students are now able to dive deep into mathematical concepts. We received the calculators just in time for the Statistics unit - from creating various models of data on their calculators to analyzing the correlation coefficient of the regression curve.
When the students first saw me bring the box into the classroom, they all looked at me with a puzzled face because they were unsure of what we just received. When I took the calculators out, so many of them started clapping because they were so happy to have access to calculators that they did not have access to before. For my students who were struggling, these calculators have definitely helped improve their confidence in this class. My students have improved so much thanks to all of you!”
