My Students

Remember when you were in school and classes had two computers to share between two classrooms? It was always exciting when the cart was rolled into our room. We could not wait to play Oregon Trail when we finished our assignments. Oh the joy! Technology has come a long way since then. We now have Chrome Books and tablets to use as educational tools. Unfortunately, not all schools have funding for additional technology.

Students at our school are incredibly hard-working, creative and curious, and they love to use technology to connect their learning to the world around them.

I just love their perseverance!

Our school is in a rural area south of Denver. Students here live on farms, ranches, and in the nearby neighborhood. Access to technology can be limited and not every child has access to technology at home. At school we share 28 Chrome Books between three classes. Let me tell you, the kids get just as excited about the computers as we did. Access to additional technology will give these amazing kids the opportunity to make connections beyond the classroom and will help continue to foster their love of learning in all subjects.

My Project

My students love to create and investigate. These iPads will give them the opportunity to create and record digital book reviews for their peers, practice math facts using Prodigy or Xtra Math, and read more books than my small classroom can hold.

Your generous donation will allow my students more opportunities to engage in math and reading fluency as well as research high-interest topics.

Your donation will increase the engagement of these precious minds, further preparing them for the digital world.

With additional technology, we can explore the world around us in a matter of seconds. It will allow us immediate access to information and increase much needed background knowledge. Skills taught will be easily reinforced with the touch of a screen.
