My Students

"Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things - thoughts, ideas, opinions." - Paulo Coelho

Our school is an amazing ecosystem of vibrant, motivated students and super charged faculty always in search of ways to improve learning and delivery of instruction.

Every day is a new adventure at our school. Our students are digital natives. They love learning. Technology is a natural part of their learning process. They are inquisitive and resourceful and we are always looking to provide them with the correct tools to maximize their school day.

My Project

While our students have access to technology through the use of iPads, we are very limited when it comes to non-tablet experiences for our students. We do not have a school computer lab, so our students share 4 desktop computers between 120 students. We envision our students using these Chromebook computers in small groups to learn basic computer and keyboarding skills, as well as publishing and blogging techniques. We are requesting six Chromebooks at this time to use during Writers Workshop. Writers Workshop is an essential part of our everyday instruction. Our goals in Writers Workshop are the continually improve our writing while working through the entire writing process, from idea generation to publishing and sharing our writing. With this set of Chromebooks, students will have the ability to share their writing in new ways. They will be able to type and publish books, share in a closed class blog, or work collaboratively through Google Chrome Drive.

Our entire Writers Workshop learning experiences will improve exponentially with the ability to publish, blog and collaborate within our grade level.

Students will be able to share their writing in meaningful, authentic ways that will help them to develop their future ready skills. We would be so appreciative of any donations!
