Your donation has made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students and our learning environment. Because of you, my students now have access to hands-on technology that supports both academic growth and responsible resource use.\r\nThis project was designed to give students meaningful opportunities to engage with technology in purposeful ways. With the iPad and Apple Pencil, students are able to practice foundational literacy skills during carpet time, including writing letters, completing our message of the day, and filling in missing letters to build phonics and word recognition skills. These activities allow students to actively participate, receive immediate feedback, and build confidence in a fun and engaging way. The ability to interact directly with the screen helps meet the needs of diverse learners and keeps students motivated and focused.\r\nIn addition to literacy practice, students will use this technology to play matching and review games created in Google Slides. These games reinforce skills through repetition and visual support, making learning feel like play while still being highly effective. Technology has become an essential part of how students learn, and your generosity ensures that my classroom can provide equitable, engaging experiences that prepare students for future success.\r\nBeyond academics, this project also supports an important lesson about environmental responsibility. My students have been learning that taking care of our Earth means being mindful of how we use our resources. By using energy-efficient technology and learning about ecolabels like EPEAT, students are gaining awareness of sustainability at an early age. These conversations help them understand that their choices—big and small—can make a positive difference.\r\nYour donation does more than provide materials; it sends a powerful message to my students that their education matters and that people in the community believe in them. Many of my students may never have had access to this type of technology before, and your support helps bridge that gap. Seeing their excitement when using these tools reminds me how impactful generosity can be.","fullyFundedDate":1689344387279,"projectUrl":"project/earth-day-electronics/7233419/","projectTitle":"Earth Day Electronics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burleigh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3648405_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1466967307485","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/allisyn-burleigh"},{"teacherId":7875047,"projectId":9387767,"letterContent":"Thanks to all the supplies that were donated, we were able to decorate our hallway bulletin boards to promote DiabetescAwareness Month and decorate for the holidays.
