Ms. Welsh from Chicago IL is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

We are Smart Board READY!

Help me give my students an interactive smart board. This will give students with various learning styles the opportunity to maximize engagement and develop technological and motor skills while giving them more opportunities to learn from each other!

My Project

I teach at a highly diverse school that implements a full inclusion philosophy. This makes it a truly special and unique community where we continuously strive to develop our knowledge and skill set to meet the ever changing needs of our students. I work side by side with my colleagues to develop engaging lessons that reflect our students' strengths and background.

As an educator I have the greatest honor to facilitate learning that exudes laughter, growth, and the magic of working together to achieve goals.

In truth, I feel that I gain much more from them than they gain from me.

Watching my students as they grow, open up to new ideas, and have those "light bulb" moments is truly a joy. Especially when, in those "lightbulb" moments, students are so eager to share their learning and insights with their friends.

This is why I am asking for your help in purchasing an interactive smart board for my students. I have worked diligently to create so many amazing visual, tactile and kinesthetic learning experiences using computer software throughout the years. These activities all have the capability of being interactive. The only problem is that students aren't getting the full experience of interacting with activities because we do not have the technology to give them that hands-on experience.

This is where you come in! With your help toward purchasing an interactive smart board, our students will be able to take part in these learning experiences throughout the day. An interactive whiteboard will allow our students to be creative, independent and empowered.

Our students are truly a joy. Your contribution will be something that they will not only grow from but will be truly grateful for. Thank you so much for your support. You are so appreciated!
