Mrs. Wright from Chicago IL is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

BOOM! Kids are Learning!

Help me give my students Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards to purchase supplemental work, such as BOOM Cards to support and extend the learning at home, and also creative materials that extend the curriculum.

My Students

Whether my students are learning from home or learning in the classroom, I want them to know that I am here to support their education and their social and emotional well-being. Whether my students come to my virtual classroom or my real classroom, they show up eager to learn. My students are learning how to recognize letters and numbers, count with 1-to-1 correspondence, connect numbers with quantities, etc. Although this year has thrown them a curve-ball with distance learning, they show up to the virtual classroom every day and are eager to head to the classroom to continue their learning.

The demographics of my school consists of 94% of students that come from low-income families, 56% English Language Learners, 21% of students have a disability, and 3% of the students are homeless.

Unfortunately, meeting the needs of all my students is extremely challenging without the necessary resources. It is difficult to meet so many needs when my students face external obstacles every day that will prevent them from having some of the same opportunities as other students their age that come from more affluent backgrounds.

My Project

My students LOVE BOOM Cards! There is a BOOM Card for every objective I teach and I love to be able to give my students the opportunity to work on them at home. My students are making huge gains, despite the situation of having to learn at home, and that is because I make every effort to make learning fun and make sure they have engaging learning materials, like insect x-rays, animal matching cards, and weaving frames.

By helping me bring this project to life, you are helping children gain a love of learning.

Just picture the faces lighting up on the students as they work at home on interactive BOOM Cards or they work in the classroom learning about clothing and how to weave with weaving frames. You can be the reason they get to learn about insects and explore their insides.
