My Project

My third graders are a bundle of bright, curious energy, and they absolutely love diving into STEM! They're so eager to learn, but our current classroom tools make it a little tricky for them to really get the most out of our lessons and build those important 21st-century skills. These new supplies would make a huge difference, helping them learn and grow in some really exciting ways:

Document Cameras: Making Learning Come to Life!

The document cameras will transform how I present information and model problem-solving strategies. Right now, I'm mostly holding things up or drawing on the whiteboard, which isn't always the best way to show details or keep everyone engaged. Document cameras will make learning so much more visual, dynamic, and fun for all my different learners!

Interactive Learning with Styluses:

Our Chromebooks are great, but styluses will turn them into amazing interactive learning stations! Kids can use them to draw diagrams, highlight important parts of a story, work through math problems step-by-step, and join in all sorts of interactive STEM activities. It's like having a digital pencil that makes learning hands-on and helps them understand tricky ideas in a fun way. Trying to do all that with just a finger can be tough for little hands!

Focused Learning with Headphones:

Sometimes, the classroom can get a little noisy which makes it hard to concentrate. Headphones will give each student their own quiet space, which is especially important during independent work time and assessments. They will let everyone learn at their own pace without distractions. Plus, headphones will let students use helpful tools like text-to-speech, which can make a big difference for some learners.
