Help Prepare Our Future Leaders!

Funded Dec 3, 2018

There are so many great websites and resources that help my lessons with differentiation, engagement, rigor and assist my English Language Learners and my Special Education students. After every lesson, my students truly enjoy using the Internet to explore their topics further and create projects to reflect their thoughts and knowledge. These laptops give my students the opportunity to advance their technological skills and be prepared for their future studies.

The most exciting part of having the laptops in my classroom is that the students enjoy using brand new Chromebooks that work quickly, efficiently, and connect directly to their google accounts. They are portable therefore students can work anywhere in the classroom (on the floor, in groups, at a table, etc) unlike the desktops which are stationary. This allows the students more freedom and flexibility.

Each student enjoys the Chromebook for various reasons based on their needs and skills. For example, my students who are working above grade level enjoy using them for enrichment activities and rigorous research. Whereas my students that need more scaffolding enjoy finding videos or websites that will assist them in the areas they are struggling. My English Language Learners enjoy using websites to explore vocabulary, pictures and videos.

Overall, your generous donation has made a tremendous impact on our classroom and we are extremely grateful. Thank you for adding sunshine to our classroom!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Helewa
