With access to this technology, teachers are able to incorporate interactive reading activities, differentiated practice, and digital tools that help meet students where they are academically.\r\n\r\nAlthough I have since transitioned from my role at the school, I am confident that the second grade teachers are actively using these iPads as intended to support instruction and enhance student learning.

The start of the school year was an exciting time, and when my students saw their personal Kindergarten folders and their pencil cases that were filled with brand new pencils and crayons they were even more excited.\r\n\r\nWhile all of the supplies that were donated have been an essential addition to our classroom, the POWMEE headphones have been game-changing for my students. Each day, students use their headphones to work on iReady, an online platform that gives students additional individualized instruction. In previous years, my students have had to use low quality headphones that were uncomfortable and did not have good sound quality. Now that my students have high quality headphones, they are able to work comfortably, hear the audio clearly, and remain focused on their iReady work.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation to my classroom project.

The area rug provides comfort to students who choose to lie down or play in the calming corner. The rug is also easy to keep clean. The seat cushions are a class favorite! Students who need constant movement or feel uncomfortable in the metal chairs appreciate the seat cushions! The laminating sheets have been helpful in creating long-lasting mini anchor charts for constant reference of math vocabulary or strategies. \r\n\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw everything, they were surprised by the abundance of supplies in the classroom. The erasers, pencils, highlighters, and glue sticks in bulk eased the possible burden on families to buy materials for their scholars. The bulk items also allow easy sharing since no one is worried about their personal items being lost or destroyed.\r\n\r\nFor our next unit, we are learning more units of multiplication and division (6,7,8,9 and 0). The students will definitely enjoy the dry erase markers and other supplies when showcasing independent work.
