Having mice allows our students to easily access their online platforms and assignments, which increases instructional time and learning.\r\n\r\nPart of our math program requires completing a digital cool down activity at the end of each lesson, which asks the students to show their work on a digital white board. Students had a much easier time completing this with the help of a mouse. Students are most excited about using the mice to easily scroll down a page to see the entire document. Having access to mice made accessing state testing much easier which allowed students to focus on content and showing their knowledge. \r\n\r\nSince we work together as a grade level team, this gift is used daily by every fifth grade student at our school.

This allows students to have lessons directly targeting their learning. In reading, our students are thrilled to be able to have headphones to access audio books. Although all students enjoy using the audio book feature, having access to this support has especially benefited our kids who struggle with reading and have learning disabilities related to reading.
