  • Tech Access: Enhancing History Skills!

    Funded Oct 26, 2024

    Thanks to your generous support and donations of laptops & Chromebooks for our classroom! In an underserved community like ours, where resources are often limited, having reliable access to technology and new laptops is a true game-changer.

    I can't stress how much this project has helped my classroom. With these extra classroom laptops, we are closer to having a complete classroom set. As a teacher, I've been able to accomplish so much more with these materials. I've introduced interactive lessons and activities that were not possible before, such as virtual museum tours, multimedia presentations, and real-time collaboration on digital platforms. These tools have not only enhanced my teaching but also inspired my students to take ownership of their learning.

    Thank you for helping to make this DonorsChoose project possible. Your kindness has opened doors for my students, and they are so grateful for the opportunity to grow and learn in new ways!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Castro

  • Inclusive History Learning: Literacy Support for All Learners!

    Funded Oct 1, 2024

    Thank you for supporting our project, "Inclusive History Learning: Literacy Support for All Learners!" Via funding this project, you have helped to create exciting opportunities for our students and helped make history content more accessible to meet their linguistic and literacy needs. Tools like the pen translators and the two-way voice translator have made texts accessible to our ELL students, empowering them to participate in class discussions and complete assignments with confidence.

    The history books, workbooks, and posters have enriched our lesson planning and create scaffolds for all learners. Along with the headphones, students are now able to use text-to-speech tools effectively to comprehend challenging texts and practice language skills without distractions. The combination of these tools will help ensure every learner, regardless of their starting point, can connect with the material in meaningful ways.

    We were also able to get some notebooks as a replacement item once our order was placed, and they have been a game-changer for many students who often come to class without basic supplies. These notebooks provide them with a dedicated space to organize their class notes, complete assignments, and take pride in their work. Something as simple as having a notebook of their own has made a big difference in fostering responsibility and focus.

    Your generosity has not only supported academic success of our students, but has also inspired creativity and confidence. Students are thriving as they use these tools to explore history, improve their literacy skills, and collaborate on projects. Thank you for making this possible and for being a vital part of their educational journey.”
