My Project
I need an Apple MacBook to help with my professional development, lesson planning, and communication. My preschool classroom is full of 24 enthusiastic and motivated students, each with their own set of skills, interests, and learning styles. To help them grow, I teach engaging, hands-on activities that encourage creativity, fine and gross motor skill development, and relevant learning opportunities.
A MacBook will significantly benefit my teaching and professional development.
It will allow me to more efficiently organize classes, collaborate with colleagues, and investigate creative ways targeted to my kids' needs. Its portability is critical for attending trainings, professional development sessions, and updating our classroom platform, such as ClassDojo, which keeps families informed and engaged. This device will also allow me to prepare grant requests and donor lists to help us improve our learning environment. Your assistance will have a direct impact on my capacity to give the excellent education that my pupils deserve. Thank you.
