Your generous donation is making a meaningful difference in our classrooms and providing students with valuable tools to support their learning.\r\n\r\nTechnology plays an important role in our students' education. With these new keyboards, students can build their typing skills, improve their keyboarding speed and accuracy, and become more comfortable using technology for everyday learning activities. They use these skills when writing stories and essays, completing assignments, conducting research, and demonstrating their understanding of what they are learning. Developing strong keyboarding skills will help prepare our students for future academic success.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things for our students is having the opportunity to use new equipment that makes their learning more engaging and interactive. Students are excited to practice their typing, become more independent when completing digital assignments, and see their skills improve over time. Having access to reliable keyboards allows more students to participate comfortably and confidently in technology-based activities.\r\n\r\nWe are especially excited to see how this technology can benefit students who may find typing challenging or who are still developing their confidence with computers. With regular practice, these students can strengthen their skills, gain independence, and focus more on expressing their ideas rather than struggling to navigate the keyboard. Students who already enjoy technology also have the opportunity to challenge themselves and continue growing as learners.\r\n\r\nYour generosity provides our fourth graders with more than just keyboards. You are helping us create opportunities for learning, build confidence, and prepare our students with skills they will use for years to come. We are incredibly grateful that Donaldson Company has invested in our students and their education.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a positive impact on our fourth-grade classrooms! Your support means so much to our students, teachers, and school community.","fullyFundedDate":1779370474758,"projectUrl":"project/typing-with-keyboards/10161513/","projectTitle":"Typing with Keyboards!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hanstad","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10466346"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102917","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":518,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":11,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.9,"schoolId":102917,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Redtail Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Redtail Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/prior-lake-savage-area-sd-719/redtail-ridge-elementary-school/102917"}
