Mrs. Donald from Waipahu HI is requesting professional development through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Professional development

Reliable, Efficient, Effective!

I need a good working computer/notepad to take notes and stay up-to-date on all my lessons.

My Students

The minds of my students crave knowledge. They want to know everything they can, and I want to be able to provide the best learning environment for them to succeed. I need partners like you to make it happen! I teach all subjects in a 4th grade, Title I classroom in Honolulu, Hawaii. Our students come from various backgrounds and cultures, and 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. However, no matter the obstacles they face outside the class, they strive to be the best they can be every single day.

My Project

I am currently using a first-generation MacBook that continually needs technical support and has a battery life of 45 minutes (if I'm lucky!). I tried using my personal iPad, but I find it so hard keeping everything for work organized. I would love to just have a specific "work" iPad so I can have everything in one place. I am constantly taking notes so I can refer back to it when needed, but it is impossible with the MacBook I currently have. It needs to be connected to a charger at all times or it will blackout and I've had too many experiences losing work that I worked so hard on. This iPad will benefit me professionally as well as personally. I love my career and if I can have the opportunity to be up-to-date and organize all my files and notes, I'll have more time to prepare my students for success!
