Our students have planted their own vegetables. During our nutrition club meetings, the children were thrilled to assemble the hydroponic tower and place the fresh vegetable cubes in it. This hands-on experience not only educates them about healthy eating but also imparts real-world skills. Their joy upon seeing their vegetables grow was indescribable.\r\n\r\nWe will use the greens during our nutrition club, and any extras will be taken home.

The new MacBook Air has been such a wonderful addition to my classroom. It has allowed me to plan engaging lessons, access digital resources, and connect my students to interactive learning experiences. With this technology, I can project visuals, play educational videos, and incorporate online tools that help students practice reading, math, and writing skills in fun, hands-on ways. It truly makes learning come alive for them.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is when I use the MacBook to introduce new interactive games, songs, and digital storybooks. They love seeing their work displayed on the screen and feel proud when we use technology to celebrate their learning. The laptop has also made it easier for me to create differentiated lessons that meet the needs of all learners, including English Language Learners who benefit from visual and audio supports.\r\n\r\nA few of my students who are more shy during traditional lessons have really opened up when using the technology. They love helping with digital activities and are eager to participate when the MacBook is part of our lesson. This tool has not only enhanced academic engagement but also boosted confidence and collaboration in our classroom.
