But the water coolers do not have cups so if a student doesn't have a personal water bottle, they cannot get water from there. This is a game changer. \r\n\r\nI appreciate you all for giving to this.

We have just started our Ukulele Unit about a month ago and they were thrilled to actually transfer what they have learned online to physically playing the Ukulele! Even the students who are normally not fond of music were also very excited and were motivated in this unit and I am very grateful for these opportunities for our diverse learning community. Students have learned how to pluck open-strings on the instrument and were introduced to C, F and A7. Our goal is to be able to play a song about Thanksgiving using at least two chords on our instrument!\r\n\r\nWe were also able to hold a Wellness Wednesday Ukulele day with faculty members after school to get together and enjoy learning the Ukulele to decompress our day. Not only that it gave opportunity to our students but teachers as well!

This new technology has allowed me to project lessons more effectively, run small-group activities with digital resources, and give students access to online tools that help them build confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nThis project has allowed us to accomplish lessons that were previously difficult to teach without technology. My students are now creating digital presentations, practicing typing skills, and collaborating on projects in ways that prepare them for the future.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to use the laptop for student-led research projects — each group will explore a topic, create a digital presentation, and share their learning with the class.

We used the new books to launch a class reading challenge, and students are now proudly sharing their favorite parts of the stories with one another.

The wagon has been a game-changer for moving materials around the classroom and even for student-led jobs — they love being the \"class helper\" of the day!\r\n\r\nNext, we will be using these supplies to support our writing projects.
