Practice Makes Perfect

My students need a Panasonic Panaboard.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Poirier's classroom raised $2,324

This project is fully funded

I teach 4th grade mathematics, science, and writing to a diverse and enthusiastic group of learners! My school is currently struggling to make ends meet with providing the necessary supplies in various subject areas. The requested item would add to the learning experiences in music, health, and art! There are also several ELL students coming to my school upon each new school year. With the proposal for a Panasonic interactive whiteboard the population with varying needs and learning styles would be met.

The Panasonic interactive whiteboard would create the type of lessons that my 21st century learners need. This interactive whiteboard would engage all students as they are asked to become active participants of the classroom. Using this format of technology would allow my students to access interactive websites on a large screen which can be viewed by all students at one time. Panasonic’s interactive board features will also allow my kinesthetic, tactile learners to be actively engaged in my lessons. The interactive board will help all of my learners regardless of their academic needs and the excitement to learn will be gained.

Being able to bring the Internet and engaging websites to life will bring about much success. Imagine providing children with the ability to turn everyday day learning into fun interactive methods of instruction! Your donation will enable me to use this resource to engage all my learners by bringing their science and math instruction to life, by creating authentic learning experiences!

In order to achieve success and make the students proud of their achievements, the requested item will be beneficial with a goal in mind. The Panasonic product will give not only my class special access, but other itinerants will have the access at their fingertips too. I can only imagine how fun music, health, and art lessons would be with his interactive device. This will provide students and teachers with instant feedback to student learning. I want the students that come into my room to be excited about having new cutting edge technology on hand.
