Through your donation, my students will have the full chance to have good scores on their computer assessments. Believe it or not, kindergarten students are expected to take growth assessments to show how much they have learned throughout the year. They have only really used touch screens in their lives, so these tests can be difficult. Some of the questions require students to drag answers. The touch screens and track pads on the Chromebooks don't always work properly, so they need a mouse to make it work. So with your donation, the children now can use the mouse and have the opportunity to get the right answers on every question. \r\n\r\nAlso the cords for headphones have been great replacements for the broken cords and broken audio jacks on the Chromebooks.

Thank you for supporting my class with the donation to my Sitting Softly grant. My students were so excited to see the carpet cushions that they get to sit on every day. They love the colors and enjoy using different colors each day. We all were so happy to see and use the carpet cushions in our room.\r\n\r\nWe use the carpet for our whole group learning time and they sometimes get tired from sitting on the carpet. Since our standard government carpet doesn't have a lot of padding, if there is any. So they were happy to have some relief and padding to sit on while they are learning. It is also helpful with management, they all have a spot to sit, and they know they should not be sitting too close to their neighbors.

I had to substitute for other items so we got Clorox wipes and tissues that will serve 3 classrooms and over 80 kids daily. Keeping germs down so kids don't have to stay home is just as important as a translator. I'll keep trying to get that translator for next year though! \r\n\r\nWhen the containers of wipes came they were amazed as they had (neither had I) seen such enormous containers of wipes!
