My Project

In our kindergarten classroom, technology is a vital tool for learning, and Chromebooks play a critical role in helping our students access educational resources, progress monitoring and taking state assessments. However, many students face challenges when it comes to keeping their Chromebooks charged throughout the school day due to a lack of power cords and chargers.

With your support, we can create a technology-empowered classroom where every student can be actively engaged and successful in learning.

These power cords will provide my students with the ability to plug in and charge their Chromebooks as needed, ensuring they have access to the necessary learning tools all day long.

By providing power cords, my students can stay focused on their tasks without worrying about losing access to their devices. This will enhance their ability to be engaged in educational learning activities, complete lessons and assessments. Every day, I witness these kindergarteners' eagerness to learn and grow, and ensuring their Chromebooks are always ready to go will further enrich their educational experiences.
