Headset and Ready to Learn!
Funded Sep 20, 2023Thank you for choosing to help fund my project "Headset and Ready to Learn!"
As you know things have been uneasy after the pandemic. So much loss has occurred. Especially in the school system.
Ever since we came back into the school building, I have noticed that most students are 1 to 2 levels below where they should be. It's not their fault. So much time went by and being remote doesn't allow the benefits of live learning.
Lastly, now that we are back in the school my students are elated that we know we have headphones for every student that comes into the computer lab, thanks to you. Students can now work on lessons individually to suit their own needs.
Thank you for the blessings you have given us.....”

Funded Sep 21, 2022There are no words to describe what your generous donation did for my computer lab. Ever since the pandemic started, our students became technological experts within a very short time. They had no choice...we had no choice either.
Each child received either a Chromebook or an iPad to learn from home. However, some were given a charger and others weren't. I don't know all the details. What I do know, is that my students are able to come to the lab to charge their devices when needed. This was possible because of you.
Thank you for believing in our children and supporting them.”

Funded Sep 29, 2022There are no words to describe the impact you have made within my technology lab. My students only know to print in relation to something on a piece of paper. Now, with your help, you opened up a new window.
Having 3D printers will allow students to use their imaginations to create endless possibilities. Our first project was to print a fidget spinner keychain. This was a sample template to help us get started.
The children were amazed and watched the whole printing process for 20 minutes. They were talking among themselves about things they might want to sketch out to print.
This is an adventure not only for my students but me as well. Please see our pictures of the keychain process with my third-grade students.”

A Voice to be Heard....
Funded Dec 30, 2021There are not enough words to express the gratitude we feel at P.S. 272 for your generous support. As you already know COVID has had a huge impact on everyone, especially the children. However, being able to come back to school and having materials to work with, is a true blessing.
Technology is everything today. My students were so excited to express themselves during our morning show using the "DJ mics" which makes them feel like they are in a recording studio. They have been taking pictures of everyday events, as well as the upcoming graduation ceremonies.
Thank you for being part of a dream come true!”

Tools for Technology
Funded Aug 13, 2021There are not enough words to express the gratitude for your generous donations. Without your help, coming back to work without technology, would have been a nightmare. Why? I am the computer technology teacher and my lab was depleted of all laptops, due to COVID.
My school is mostly low income households and we are a title one school. Technology, unfortunately is hard to come by for my students. In order for them to be remote we had to give out my lab equipment.
However, I was blessed to be funded for a classroom/ teacher iPad. Thanks to your generous donations. This gift allows me to work with small groups of students as they work along, using there personal iPads.
Thank you for going the extra mile to help our future. Be safe.”

My school is mostly low income households and we are a title one school. Technology, unfortunately is hard to come by for my students. In order for them to be remote we had to give out my lab equipment.
However, I was blessed to be funded for 8 iPads thanks to your generous donations. This allowed me to work with the small groups of students, that came back into the building for in person learning.
Thank you for going the extra mile to help our future. Be safe.”

Room Tidy+Seat Tidy= Happy Teacher
Funded Dec 4, 2019Thank you for believing in my project and giving my students the tools to help them stay, focused and organized.
Being that I teach computer technology to grades K-5, I see over 250 students a week in my lab. I see each class for a 55 minute time- slot. This is the reason I asked for help to get seat organizers.
Having these seat organizers give the students a sense of responsibility. The students keep their belongings in a safe place, while using the computers. Now, this eliminates the issues of missing property and unwanted arguments.
We are beyond grateful for your contribution to our project. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!”

Dot and Dash....I Dare You, Robot!
Funded Mar 27, 2018There are not enough words to describe the impact your donation has had on my students. Being that my school is limited, especially when it comes to technology, I am always looking for a way to implement anything in relation to it.
As you already know our world is fast moving, when it comes to technology. I want my students to get a well-rounded education. Having various types of technology in the classroom allows the children to explore many different outlets that are being offered because of you!
Thanks to your help my students get another shot at hands on technology. Your funding helped us get (2) Dot and Dash Activity Set robots. These robots are geared towards grades 2nd-5th. These robots work together using coding. Dash is more interactive, while Dot basically works off emotions. These robots allow children to be able to see visually, through trial and error while programming, making changes as they see fit. Students are able to create their own programs based on what they know.
Thank you for having faith in my project and the students at P.S.272.”

Funded Apr 13, 2018There are not enough words to describe the impact your donation has had on my students. Being that my school is limited, especially when it comes to technology, I am always looking for a way to implement anything in relation to it.
There have been lessons where we use everyday items, such as food, beads and anything that would help teach a concept. When I was introducing coding, we used Apple Jacks to make a bracelet algorithm. The (2) colors stood for the on and off option, in the coding language.
Thanks to your help my students get another shot at hands on technology. Your funding helped us get a (5) Botley robots. These robots are geared towards grades Pre-K through 1. The students are able to control Botley by using arrows. They guide him to whatever outcome you are aiming for. They are able to see visually ( especially our ESL, ELL and Special Education classes), through trial and error while programming.
Thank you for having faith in my project and the students at P.S.272.”
