Your support has made a significant difference in the lives of our students, and we are excited to share with you the positive impact it is already having on their learning and development.\r\n\r\nAs you know, our school serves a predominantly Title I student population, many of whom face unique challenges both inside and outside the classroom. Your donation of tablets has provided a crucial tool to help bridge the gap for these young learners, offering them opportunities to engage in educational content that they may not have had access to otherwise. The tablets are already playing a vital role in both our reading and math instruction, and we are truly seeing the benefits in real-time.\r\n\r\nIn Kindergarten, foundational skills in both literacy and numeracy are critical to setting our students up for future academic success. Thanks to your contribution, our students now have access to a variety of apps and digital resources specifically designed to strengthen their reading and math skills. For reading, the tablets enable students to engage with interactive phonics games, digital books, and vocabulary-building activities. These resources are not only fun but also highly effective in helping children develop early literacy skills in a way that is both engaging and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe tablets have also proven to be invaluable in our math instruction. Kindergarten students are developing early number sense through interactive math games that teach counting, simple addition, and subtraction in a visually stimulating and hands-on way. The instant feedback provided by these digital tools helps reinforce correct concepts and gives students the opportunity to practice at their own pace, which is incredibly helpful for children at various learning levels.\r\n\r\nBeyond the direct academic benefits, the impact of your donation extends to the level of engagement and enthusiasm it has sparked among our students. They are excited to use the tablets every day, and the increased enthusiasm for learning is palpable. The interactive nature of the tablet-based programs has made lessons more dynamic and enjoyable, and our students are eager to participate in activities that they know will help them grow academically.\r\n\r\nThis excitement is particularly significant in our Title I classrooms, where many students face socio-economic challenges that can sometimes hinder their educational progress. The tablets have become a game-changer for these children, providing them with access to high-quality, personalized learning experiences that they might otherwise not have had. For many of our students, the tablets represent not just a tool for learning, but an avenue for exploration and creativity that fosters a love for learning that will hopefully stay with them throughout their academic careers.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the tablets have been an incredible aid to our teaching staff. They have allowed for more targeted instruction, enabling us to differentiate lessons for students who may need additional support or those who are ready to move ahead at a faster pace. The ability to track individual progress and provide immediate feedback has given teachers valuable insight into each student's growth and development. This personalized approach helps ensure that no child is left behind and that every student can reach their full potential.\r\n\r\nWe are thrilled with the positive results we are already seeing, and we know that the benefits of your generous donation will continue to grow as our students progress through the year. Your support is making a lasting impact on these young learners, and we cannot thank you enough for your commitment to their education.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your incredible generosity. You are truly helping to shape the future of these children, and we are forever grateful for your kindness and dedication to their success.","fullyFundedDate":1733436904496,"projectUrl":"project/tech-savvy-classrooms-help-us-bring-tab/8718396/","projectTitle":"Tech-Savvy Classrooms: Help Us Bring Tablets to Our Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Childs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4405889_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1543364689660","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/akai-childs"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64648","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":428,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":55,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":63.6,"schoolId":64648,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edgewood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edgewood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/harford-county-public-school-district/edgewood-elementary-school/64648"}
