My Students

Hi!! We're a 5th grade class using Blended Learning for the first time. Blended learning is "a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace." This is a great opportunity for students to build on their technology use in the classroom along with personalized Literacy programs that work at each student's individual pace, a perfect chance for differentiation in the classroom.

We are very proud of our school and love coming to school each and everyday.

We are a school that has a passion for reading and writing. We love technology and learning in many different ways. However, we are underfunded and lack many of the resources and supplies we need to be successful each day, especially when trying to adhere to a new technology-centric curriculum.

My Project

This year, we will be taking on a new challenge; Blended Learning! This isn't the classroom centers we are used to. Instead, we are blending our lessons with individualized learning through the use of technology. That being said, in order to be successful, we need technology in our classroom.

In fifth grade, students have a love of questions and exploration.

They love to research and expand on their classroom learning. What better way to do this, than to have a set of Amazon "Fire" Tablets available to delve deeper into a topic that they find interesting? This donation would make a world of difference for my students. This would give our classroom a technology center where they can work at their own pace on a project-based learning assignment that will build on what I am teaching to the class as a whole.

I have a great classroom library available to my students, but access to the internet for further research would be wonderful. One of our goals is for students to be able to draw on information from multiple print or digital sources in order to locate an answer to a question or solve a problem. It would be so much appreciated if I could offer many types of print and multimedia sources so that my students could be successful with this goal.
