I am one of the luckiest 3rd grade teachers in our district. I co-teach 3rd grade math, science, and social studies. Everyday 100 diverse learners walk into our classroom ready and eager for innovative endeavors.
Our students are ambitious, resilient, and amazing innovators who thrive best when given engaging lessons involving high expectations and meaningful collaborative experiences.
As 21st century learners, my co-teacher and I are constantly searching to give our students all the technology and hands on experiences necessary to grow as learners.
My Project
In today's world, technology must be seen by students as both fascinating and essential. Our goal is to present continually changing technology in a fun challenging way.
These Chromebooks will be used daily to engage and foster 21st century team builders and entrepreneurs.
With these Chromebooks students will engage a wide variety of activities including:
-Uploading artifacts to their Digital Backpacks and reflecting on their learning throughout the year
- Collaborating with partners to complete various Project Based Learning opportunities on subjects relating to creating floor plans and building Tiny Houses for clients
-Using Google Forms and Google Sheets to create, collect, and present data to local businesses to facilitate problem solving
- Playing high energy computer based games to assess learning and growth throughout the year
- Developing opportunities for student choice and personalized learning experiences
- Completing online learning self-graded assignments with immediate feedback on Google Classroom
These Chromebooks would truly enhance learning for our group of third graders, AKA the Cactus Crew. Thanks for considering and donating to our project.
