Help me give my students a wireless mouse and batteries to use with their laptops. A wireless mouse will make manipulating the laptop much easier.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Perry's classroom raised $366

My Students
My students consist of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders that are in a 12:1 or a 12:1:1 setting.
Each day we strive to teach through a multitude of modalities and love to use visual aids/hands within our classroom.
My students consist of predominantly Emotionally Disturbed and Learning Disabled, and Intellectual Disabled students, however, we never let their disabilities define them or let those disabilities stand in our way. Within our classroom, we always set the bar high and expect nothing but greatness.
My Project
Our students use classroom laptops several times throughout the day. Their science curriculum, Amplify, is very much computer-based and has many computer simulations and tasks that require our students to manipulate the screen. The use of a wireless mouse would make maneuvering through the program much easier. Our students also use programs such as a literacy reading program called Lexia. Throughout the program, the students need to interact with the stories, respond to questions, etc. Many of these tasks are timed.
How great would it be if our students had a wireless mouse to use with their laptops!
Another program that our students use is Prodigy. This is a math program that our students use to reinforce math skills. This program is set up like a game, and many of our students enjoy using this program. The use of a wireless mouse would make it much easier for our students to manipulate the programs. Many of our students have complained in the past that using the mouse pad on the laptop is challenging. It will either stick, doesn't easily right-click, etc. Having these wireless devices would alleviate some of these challenges.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
