  • Flexible Learners

    Funded Jul 21, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous support In donating to our classroom. Students learn in a variety of ways that are far from the traditional chair tucked into their desk. We have encouraged flexibility to help enhance students' abilities to learn. Flexible seating has helped students be more engaged in their work and accomplish tasks at their comfort. They are excited to be able to work in a flexible setting. Students are more proactive in finishing tasks and stay focused on their lessons. This has truly changed our educational setting. Thank you!”

  • Do You Feel the STEAM?

    Funded Jul 15, 2019

    Thank you so much for helping us infuse STEAM in our classroom. Our students have been exposed to a variety of experiences with the accessibility of the technology. Just recently they were able to take a virtual field trip of an Apple orchard in Pennsylvania. An experience they may never get, they were able to attain it by using the iPads. They were also able to experiment further using their five senses and work on their fine motor skills, which are developing much better! Thank you so much for your generosity!”

They are more willing to collaborate with their peers, a breakthrough for this school year. I am beyond proud and thankful for this to happen. It is incredible how technology opens the doors for students. It becomes another means for learning in a creative way. Thank you so much for making this happen.”

  • Do You Feel the STEAM?

    Funded May 13, 2019

    My students have been able to reach new horizons with the iPads. They have been able to participate in interactive Discovery Education lessons, complete their iReady, Reflex math, and Go Math online lessons. I am able to get data faster with their quick submission through the online programs. In return, I'm able to receive automatic feedback and tell which students need a retrace of the lesson.

    Students have also been able to create QR codes as part of their STEAM projects. They teamed up in groups and wrote a summary sharing all the things they did to create a roller coaster. After recording their voices, they were able to turn it into a QR code with Vocaroo.”
