My Project

The materials requested here in this project will benefit our students greatly with opportunities through digital media (USB Mic) and social-emotional learning as well as academic learning. The podcast equipment bundle is to help give our students the opportunity to learn how to create a podcast by providing materials for a class project. It will also be used to record educational and lecture videos for students' learning. The majority of our students come from low-income families that don't have the means to provide students the opportunities to make/create a podcast/videos of their learning in class and post on social media.

With a class project and the necessary materials, our students will be able to create/make a podcast, which is a skill they can take with them into the real world.

The skills will help them to possibly earn a living to take care of their future families.

Most of the requested materials are school supplies that students will use throughout this school year and the next school years to come. During classes, students are able to use materials that will be easily accessible in the utility carts, such as calculators, erasers, and glue sticks. These items will be used for learning through group projects and while doing classwork. Other materials are for things like special projects or group projects. During non-instructional times, students are able to enjoy social-emotional learning through materials purchased through a DonorsChoose project. The majority of our students are low-income families, these opportunities will only assist in their learning.

Thank You!

Mr. Toa
Grades 6-8
