My students need a Chromebook and wireless mouse so they can access the internet in the classroom to work within our Google Classroom.

My Students
Do you remember classrooms that used just books to learn facts? My students learn best using technology. It is difficult to get excited about data that is just on paper, but by "Empowering Students Through Art" they can't wait to come to class and explore.
My 6th-grade science classes are part of a public school in a growing suburban town in NH.
Middle school students learn more by doing than reading. Science class is the perfect place to make discoveries. As the new national science standards are implemented, the focus is to develop STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) lessons. They love to make connections to real world problems. Instead of hearing "Why do we need to learn this?", I get students who can't wait to do things like forensics or other explorations. We even use Google Classrooms for our lessons. We also wish to lessen our carbon imprint on the environment by using less paper and Chromebooks are the gateway to achieving this. Our STEM lessons become STEAM lessons when we add art. Using the Chromebook, they can create 3D designs for our 3D printer using Tinkercad and use Stop Motion Animator to create animations of science concepts.
My Project
We are requesting an Asus Chromebook with a wireless mouse and extra USB ports for our extra gadgets. Imagine a classroom where students pickup a Chromebook to complete a lesson. They might research a topic or make comments on another student's work, or maybe they will make there own journal entry in Google docs. Chromebooks are the pathway to going paperless, it truly brings our classroom into the 21st century learning style.
My sixth grade science students are full of curiosity. They have great questions about how our world works and I hope to guide them to some answers. Students will find learning more meaningful if they make the discoveries themselves rather than just get notes from a teacher. They also have many concerns about actions that mankind does that impact nature. Going paperless is not easy in a middle school but the Chromebook will eliminate a lot of paper worksheets. My students will be proud of their contribution to improving our world.
You can change their world!
Your generous donation will inspire my students.They will excitedly look forward to each time they can use the Asus Chromebook. You will help them develop an environmental conscience as we continue our education without using paper and destroying trees. They will become global citizens as they mature and know they can make a difference to save our planet. They will thankfully know that your generosity sparked their discoveries.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
