Bright Minds, Big Ideas, and a Bit of Tech

Help me give my students powerful, engaging lessons using an iPad and Apple TV, along with books and resources that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pachner's classroom raised $835

My Project

My 4th graders are part of a vibrant, diverse community of learners, many of whom are multi-language learners and newcomers to the country. They come from a low-income Title I school, and I’m committed to giving them the tools they need to thrive.

Having an Apple TV will transform the way I teach, allowing me to move freely around the room using my iPad while making sure every student can clearly see and engage with the lessons, especially those still mastering English.

The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will allow me to bring in engaging, grade-specific resources for science, writing, and reading to support my first year teaching 4th grade.

The books I’ve selected will help my students connect with characters, see themselves in stories, and develop a lifelong love of reading. Each resource will help create a classroom where every child feels empowered, included, and excited to learn.
