A Cart with Clear Sound

Help me give my students a new cart for our projector and computer, and speakers so we can hear our interactive videos.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pontillo's classroom raised $519

My Project

In our ELA classroom we use the projector and computer daily to help with our learning. We need a new cart to so we can have the projector, Elmo and speakers in one location. This will allow for smoother transitions between activities.

We use the computer and speakers for interactive learning in both whole group and small group instruction.

These materials will allow the students the ability to clearly hear our videos, games, and lessons.

Please help give my students more updated materials to use within our 3rd grade ELA classroom.
