Funded Aug 14, 2019We thank you again for your support in making our project a success. Our Kindergarten students are so excited about learning, and adding technology to their math routines has made such a difference.
Currently during our math block students are using a program on the laptops call SplashMath. Each student has their own account with their own avatar, password and are assigned interactive math lessons to complete. These lessons are fun for our students as they use characters, visuals, music, and sounds that children find engaging. The lessons are set up as games and as the students complete their assignments at their own pace, they collect "coins"to track their progress. Best of all the math lessons in this program align to the current math curriculum we are teaching.
Each week we add new assignments, and when the student logs in they can work on the new assignment, as well as complete any incomplete tasks. Being able to to have this extra station gives all of our students another way to practice current math skills, review and reinforce skills previously taught.
Each day students are showing excitement for math time as they know they will get a chance to use the laptops as one way of learning. The laptops have made a huge impact in our classroom, and we are thankful everyday for your support!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Tahese
