They certainly helped to bring my shy students out of their shells as we began our school year. We also brought out our boomwackers this week and practiced keeping a beat and learning to rest, as directed.

Capturing that magic can be difficult- one goal in the room to utilize the iPads was to have students self-capture their work through taking their own photos of their work (photographing their playdough creation), recording a video describing their picture or making a recording of their own reenactment of the stories we read in class. \r\n\r\n The technology has also been helpful when it comes to interventions- students can focus on fun programming that can reinforce letters, numbers and new vocabulary!\r\n\r\nThank you for everything you did to bring our learning to a new, joyful level!","fullyFundedDate":1727458996529,"projectUrl":"project/technology-for-our-youngest-learners/8454883/","projectTitle":"Technology For Our Youngest Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Seder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9178467_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718312998158","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9178467"},{"teacherId":9178467,"projectId":8453603,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation at the beginning of this school year, my class was able to bring their storytelling to a whole new level!
