Chromebooks for the Classroom: Technology Integration
|
The students at my school are committed to rigorous academia, creative thinking, problem solving and becoming successful and productive members of society. It is a charter school located in the park blocks of NW Portland. Our students not only share space with each other, but they share their playgrounds with members of our local community. \r\nIt is a project based school where students creatively and collaboratively study topics that relate to their interests and communities. During each project, students go out into the community several times to dissect and learn from their experiences. At the end of each project, students come up with a service element that gives back to their communities. In learning through project work, students come out of each experience with ownership of their own learning, and comprehensive understanding of the community they live in.
|
Chromebooks for classrooms is a project that will allow students to use personal computers within their own classroom. Students will learn how to use technology that will be imperative to their lives both in and out of the classroom. Technology can no longer be considered a hobby by any means, but rather the way of our future. Students need to have not only a basic understanding of computers, but be able to manipulate and create using them. Chromebooks in the classroom will act as a necessary tool for cultivating knowledge and expert use of technology. \r\nChromebooks for classrooms is a project that will allow students to use personal computers within their own classroom.\r\nIn 3rd grade students begin state testing using computers to read, write, and listen to questions and create answers. Right now in my classroom students are unable to access computers on a daily or even weekly basis. This does them a huge disservice in terms of preparing for their futures, let alone their state testing comfort. \r\nIn my classroom, Chromebooks would be used during all subjects of study. In reading we will use them to read passages and choose answers to questions. In writing students will use them to type and create stories of their own. In math students will use calculating programs to practice simple to challenging arithmetic. With Chromebooks, students will be able to access more information for project work and watch academically appropriate content at the touch of a button.

My students need chrome books to practice using technology for their futures, as well as their state testing.

Keep Calm and Read On
|
This year an amazing group of third graders have entered my classroom! They are respectful, kind, and voracious readers! When I tell them that it is time to read quietly, their is a giddiness that takes over the room! As a staff, the entire school is reading Donalynn Miller's book, The Book Whisperer. I am using this this book to guide my practice as I work to develop excited and independent readers. \r\n\r\n Each student has a goal to read 40 books before the end of the year! They are motivated and diligently filling out their reading logs. I am looking forward to June and seeing the total number of books that our class and school has read! I know that they will be so proud of themselves.
|
The 21 third graders that spend their days in my classroom eagerly peruse our classroom library searching for a book that is \"Just Right\" for them! I am new to teaching third grade and while I came with some chapter books, it is not nearly enough for the quantity that my students read.\r\n\r\nNew titles from my students' favorite series are going to bring a great sense of excitement and joy to our classroom. Each student is working hard to reach a goal of reading 40 books by the end of third grade. Daily time is provided in class for students to read! Reading is the only way to become a better reader and I am purposing for my students to become better readers!\r\n\r\nStudent choice is incredibly important. Together, my students and I created a list of books that that they would love in our classroom. I have added these titles to my project and can't wait to see how excited the students are to have them arrive at our door!

Lax is STILL Life!
|
Sweat and hard work are what you'll see on our lacrosse field. Players persevere through adversity as they learn the game years after other opponents, but our success and confidence suffer with this gap. I want to give girls the opportunity to learn this dynamic and growing game earlier.\r\nMy girls are a very diverse group in one of the most diverse cities in the state! They are self and peer motivated individuals who are picking up a game at a late age in comparison to other surrounding towns. Lacrosse is a game that is tough to learn both because it's different than all other sports in the way it's played and the skills are difficult. Many girls don't even hear about lacrosse until high school. The ability to play it requires the money to buy the equipment, which is just out of the question for many of our families. I am working to change the communication gap but need help to make it happen.
|
We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to have our first project funded! Over 30 girls came to learn the sport of lacrosse, and some were awarded their stick as a prize to go home with. So, needless to say, we will need more equipment to continue spreading the sport in the same way. I have a camp scheduled this summer to reach even more kids! I'm so excited!\r\nThe lacrosse sticks, balls, cones, and pinnies will give girls in our city an opportunity to learn how to play lacrosse. The inability to buy expensive lacrosse equipment is a deterrent for participation. This project takes the money out of the decision.

My students need lacrosse sticks and balls to replenish our supply, pinnies and cones to help with learning!

Rooted in Reading in Second Grade!
|
My students live in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma grades schools on a A-F grading scale. My school is a D. My school has also gone through significant changes in its staffing due to a budget crisis and the children will notice more new faces than old this year. We have lost many programs, supplies, and resources. I want my students to know I won't give up on them and despite these changes, I do believe that they can succeed. \r\nMy school is located on the south side of Oklahoma City, in which students are from low income Hispanic homes and all students are on free or reduced lunch.\r\nMy students are not really setup for success in our district, they receive the least amount of funding and attention. I want my students to have what they need to feel important and become leaders!
|
My students are coming into school this year with no reading textbooks! Our district advised us to design our own lessons using children's literature and create learning experiences around these books. \r\nIn the Scholastic News weekly readers my students will be able to see up close pictures and hear news from around the world. Last year, my school was able to fund the Scholastic News readers for the students and they LOVED them. This year the school cannot fund that subscription, but my students need them now more then ever! With these readers we can practice reading, have social studies/cultural lessons, and dive into science topics. With a Scholastic News subscription my class would then also have access to the Scholastic News website that would provide even more resources for the students using our SmartBoard technology. \r\nWith the Listening and Fun Book center, I will be able to provide a listening center for the students with books that they are interested in and can follow along with. Listening to reading is always a class favorite and allows students to learn new vocabulary and reading skills at their own pace. \r\nWith books like A Bad Case of Stripes, Sheila Rae the Brave, Chester's Way, and the other listed books I will be able to create lessons that focus on phonological awareness, comprehension, and fluency. The students will enjoy learning through these books and look forward to the next lesson! All the listed books are part of the Rooted in Reading program specifically designed for 2nd grade students that I will be implementing in our room this year.

Engineers of the Future Researching Concepts
|
My students come from a mixed background of single-parent, traditional family, mixed family, and foster or grandparent care. Common to all, however, is the desire to be given the opportunity to explore and discover critical-thinking skills needed by all as they transition from being the students of today to the leaders of tomorrow. My students are ambitious, kind, and ready to learn cross-cutting science and engineering concepts. Your donation will provide resources for these students I love. We are currently working with the 5E lesson structure that includes inquiry-based labs and interactive notebooks. The final key needed is consistent technology in my classroom.

My students are in need of 6 Kindle Fires that will be dedicated to rotating research labs. These kindles will provide an opportunity for my students to dive in to the content and make real world connections. Each student will spend approximately 20 minutes per week at least at the station. The Kindle Fires will also be used during reteach time to use apps such as Quizlet, Kahoot, and Nearpod to review and reimpact these students who may be falling behind. It will also provide an opportunity for language translation for students who are English Language Learners. The Kindle Fire also has some options that will help all learns in my classroom.

Rebuilding Our Centers!
|
I teach in a low income / high poverty school. School is place where they can come and feel safe, without having to worry about anything. Our school is in a small community and all 18 of my students have been together since they started school, therefore we are more like a family. \r\nMy students come in excited to learn, but unfortunately many also enter below grade level. \r\nI am a firm believer that each of my students should be provided with the very best education possible. You can help me do that by making sure they have the materials they need to succeed!
|
My students spend most of their day in small group centers. Due to Hurricane Matthew many of the activities I provided were lost. It is important that I am able to provide my students will individual centers to meet specific needs. \r\nThese materials will help my students have fun while learning. \r\nThe math materials will be used during math centers. I have students on many different levels, so I will be able to provide them with an activity that meets their needs. All of the reading materials will allow my students to strengthen their vocabulary and comprehension skills and allow them to become better readers. All of the materials will help my students succeed. Please help me make this happen :)

Leaping into Learning
|
My students are in multiple grades with multiple needs. Most struggle with reading and get frustrated with most learning programs on the computer. Leapster tablets will help them safely navigate learning apps 'just like the big kids'.
|
We are a Title 1 school, where all students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. I serve students with special needs, who struggle daily with learning to read. In my classroom, we work daily on reading skills, from learning letter sounds, to putting these sounds together to fluently read words.
|
These Leapster tablets will give my youngest students the opportunity to use learning apps and at the same time, ease my fear that they may find some info on the internet that is inappropriate. These will be used as learning tools and rewards for doing a good job in their classwork.
|
By helping these kids strengthen their reading skills, these tablets will give them the opportunity to move into more challenging books and materials. My students are great kids who would greatly benefit from these learning tools.
|
My students need a chance to learn to safely learn on electronics. Leapster products are amazing tools that help students learn and have fun at the same time!

New Technology for Our Students' Growing Minds!!!
|
In my classroom, I call my students \"my kids\" because in our year together they aren't just kids on my class list, they become a part of my heart. I have never imagined having a position that brings me as much joy as my role as being a 4th grade teacher has. I teach at a public school in Louisiana where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Most of my students have been affected by recent flooding, but you would never tell by their beautiful spirit and their love for learning. Their curious minds constantly surprises me and encourages me to give them my all during and after school.\r\n\r\n My classroom hosts students from a variety of different economic backgrounds that also speak a multitude of languages. We have a wonderful STEM program that constantly challenges our students and feeds their curiosities. My job as a 4th grade teacher is not to only prepare my students for 5th grade, but to prepare them for a lifetime of learning!
|
These materials will definitely help my students' learning by first of all giving each student their own set of headphones to minimize distractions in the classroom. The chrome book will allow each student to have their own notebook to work on everyday since two of our students currently have to share with each other. This will allow each student to work at the same pace. The printer will make it a lot easier for me to give students class work or makeup work they may need. Thank you for taking the time to look over the few needs of my classroom!

Geometry and the Arts: Supplies for a Successfully ROUNDED Student
|
Spring High School is a large urban High School with over 3500 students. Our students come from a variety of different ethnic and economic backgrounds with over 85% of our students receiving free lunch. As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics. Our school is home to the first academy based programs in the district. From Art/Design to STEM to Law Enforcement, our students excel in the classes that will lead them to their passion, whatever that may be. There are a multitude of teams and clubs that fit the needs of everyone.
|
We will be creating different artistic and geometric constrictions using the supplies in the project list. We will be coloring with the colorful mediums and drafting pictures in the notebooks with the compasses and rulers.\r\n\r\nWe need tools at my school that will allow my students to successfully create specific/artistic geometric constructions. But my students cannot afford these supplies on their own. We need your help!!! \r\n\r\nThese supplies, like glue, paper, rulers and map colors, may sound like a school supply shopping list for the first day of school, but most of my kids don't get to go supply shopping.\r\n

My students are eager, energetic, creative learners who come from a variety of backgrounds. Many of their parents were students at my school as well. The community is tight knit and they give as much support as they can. My school is not a Title I school, however. There is not extra funding for many of the materials and supplies my students need and want. \r\n\r\nMy students come to school ready to learn. Their excitement and their expectations inspire me.

My students have committed to eating healthier foods at school as well as becoming more physically fit. In order to accomplish these goals, my students requested water and healthy snacks. Not all students come to school with snacks, and many come to school with candy, cookies or chips for their snacks. Many bring canned sodas, sports drinks or other sugary drinks. My students asked to have bottled water that they can bring outside to the playground and field area while playing and exercising. They also requested to have a variety of healthy snacks available. Their lunch time is more than 4 hours after the start of the school day. Eating snacks that are low in sugar will certainly benefit my students.

Offering Choices - Both Indoors and Outside
|
Our daily schedule has a large Literacy Block everyday. During this time, students are working independently and in small groups. Students have choices to sit where they are able do their best work. Providing a variety of seating options can enhance our learning environment.
|
I have 26 amazing and active 3rd graders! They have a lot of energy and many are in constant motion. These curious learners do their best work when they have the chance to move while learning. \r\nWe are located in a rural, agricultural area, with a high population of second language learners.
|
We are in need of some more seating options for our Literacy Block. We have requested 4 stools to use at a counter for writing. The stools will also be used during the rest of the day for students who have a hard time sitting in a desk chair while I am teaching. Some students prefer to stand while they are learning, and the stool will give them something to lean on. \r\n\r\nWe have also requested a variety of recess equipment. Our students need many options during their free time to keep them active and participating in movement at recess.
|
Having the best seating options for students can make all the difference in being able to focus and learn. We know many students have a difficult time sitting still in a desk chair, and having a stool to lean on while learning can be a huge benefit. \r\nWe also know that kids need active brain breaks and giving them many options at recess will help them stay engaged during class. Thank you for considering our project.

Won't They, Orwell They?
|
Our institution serves a population with a high rate of poverty, chronic drug use, and a community infrastructure that is ill-equipped to serve youth.\r\n\r\nFor a majority of our students, the school is the only place they can feel safe, and truly learn and grow as a human being.\r\n\r\nDue to the restraints on our school, it is very difficult to procure funds for our students to have uninhibited access to literature. Without access to literature, students cannot make connections between themselves and the world. They will also be bereft of a skill-set that makes them a competitive graduate, and a college-ready learner.
|
The last three times I've taught the Orwell unit, we've used printed PDFs that groups of students share and annotate. Obviously, this approach is inefficient from an economic standpoint, and also limits the individual student's ability to interact with the text critically, and access it at their convenience.\r\n\r\nOur students love engaging literature, but our resources are incredibly limited, and finding classroom book-sets is incredibly challenging. \r\n\r\nIt's difficult to foster a learning environment where students can formulate their own ideas and contribute to a larger discussion when each student doesn't have access to a copy of the classroom novel. This project will begin the process of providing uninhibited access to literature for every student enrolled in our program.\r\n\r\n
| null | null |
My students need a classroom set of 1984. It's an incredibly important and relevant novel, and our institution struggles mightily with funds for new literature sets.

We Need Iconic Props and Costumes for Our Upcoming Productions

My theater classes are organized chaos! My students really want to unwind in my classes and entertain each other. A lot of my students have been classified by others as being troubled but they love the art of performance. I feel that my students look forward to coming my class on a daily basis and have the opportunity to express themselves.\r\n\r\nMy students are just hilarious! Everyday in my class, I have a funny story that I get to tell my friends. They have really convinced me to invest in them. Everyday I have students asking when will I be conducting a casting call for our next shows! These students understand how art speaks to others and build empathy. Our school is ranked at the bottom 5% in our state. 95% of our student population qualify for free lunch.\r\n

Our students and audience needs to understand the importance of empathy with other people that may be different. Our theater company is producing four productions and we need some props and costumes for our next two shows. These materials and costumes will enhance my students theater experiences and our school. \r\n\r\nOur main production this year is Reginald Roses's \"Twelve Angry Men; the premise of this ageless play is to confront bigotry and misconceptions and learn how to understand others. What better time than the present should everyone learn the importance of understand our fellow man? Current events in our country can better addressed when one learns the importance of walking in another man's shoes. Stephen Covey best sums up is philosophy with the following quote: \"When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it. That's when you can get more creative in solving problems.\"\r\n

Third Grade Writing Machines!
|
I teach third grade at a Title I low income school. I have written grants to get iPads in my classroom and currently have 5. The kids enjoy using them and they are very helpful with keeping students engaged and on task. My students don't have a lot of technology at home so they depend on learning how to use it and practice with it at school. I strive to put technology in front of them on a daily basis so they are prepared when the enter the workforce.
|
My classroom has acquired some much needed technology thanks to grants! We are very lucky to have iPads in our classroom. To make sure students are getting the most out of our new technology, I am asking for cases with keyboards to go with our iPads. This will allow the students to have a chance to type their writing pieces and also to practice their typing skills. We have a few of the keyboards in our classroom now, and they have made a huge difference in the stories the students are producing. They enjoy typing on the iPads and ask to type often. They work as a great motivator in the classroom!

An \"apple\"solutely great day to keep literacy the right way
|
Spending 7+ hours a day with my students, I have really learned their personalities, interests, and many of their strengths. My students are very creative and love to be leaders in and outside of the classroom. What makes my students so special is how different each of them are. Some love art while others would rather build. Some are very talkative, while others are quiet. Their differences are what makes each of them so special.\r\nThroughout the year I have noticed my students are really motivated by technology. I love when I find out what motivates my students. \r\n
|
With these ipads, my students will not only become more familiar with technology but be able to expand their math and literacy horizons. With all of the fun and engaging learning apps of today, the options are limitless. One of the ways I would use these ipads is during literacy stations. At our school, we use a program called Lexia that helps our students build their literacy reading skills. Lexia sets up different levels and each student has a weekly goal to reach. By having these ipads in my classroom, students will have more opportunities to meet their goal. Another way that we will use these ipads is by scanning QR codes for listening to books. These ipads will make a tremendous impact in my classroom.

During the 45 minute P.E. period, each student will try to run as many times as they can around the track. \r\n\r\nEach lap of the event is associated with a designated color\r\nExamples of colors: 1st lap is Green, 2nd lap is Yellow, 3rd lap is Orange, 4th lap is Pink, and the 5th lap is Blue, etc…\r\n\r\nAs they hit the COLOR ZONES at each lap, they will be blitzed by with color. The color is a special recipe of magical color dust. All products are 100% natural, safe and food grade quality. To keep it out of their eyes our “certified” Color Throwers try to aim low as you pass by. Some Color Runners opt to wear glasses or goggles for their eyes and use a bandanna or dust mask for their mouths. We certainly recommend that our Color Runners wear sunglasses or some form of eye protection. They do not completely stop in the Color Zones. We cross our colorful hearts to try and get as much or as little color on them as they like.\r\n
|
With these donations, we will be able to host this Color Run. It is pretty fun to see people still colorful around school and town after The Color Run event. It is like a badge of honor!\r\n

My students need to participate in this fun event during the last week of their Physical Education Class.

Strategies of Teamwork Through Volleyball
|
My students are energetic, full of imagination, are eager to move, love to come to PE class, and hate having to wait in line to use equipment because there isn't enough of something for all to share.\r\nAt our school, parent's are very supportive when it comes to coming together as a community to provide new activities for kids. They provide school supplies to share with those less fortunate and they are willing to assist all teachers when it comes to making school an exciting and safe place for their children.\r\n
|
In PE, students learn about teamwork through sports. They explore strategies of accomplishing a specific task or goal and learn what it takes to be a team player while using their individual abilities. \r\n\r\nSports teaches young children to communicate with one another, to problem solve, to accept each other's abilities, and explore together what one could miss when working alone, however, when they don't have adequate or sufficient materials, it becomes difficult to learn valuable skills like these. \r\n\r\nSome children at my school participate in team sports outside of school, many don't have the resources to do so. By incorporating team sports before, during, and after school, a large percent of our student population will get to do so without having to go any other place. \r\n
| null | null |
My students need volleyball trainer balls so they can explore the sport with appropriate equipment that won't hurt their arms and update equipment so that we can have enough for a class set.

The students at my school have an eagerness to learn about the much larger world that exists outside of the condensed view they are forced to reside in. When I am able to provide opportunities for my students they amaze me with their ability to out do my expectations. I teach students that deal with more troublesome issues and experiences at home than I could ever imagine. I constantly have to remind myself that my students have a much different perspective of the world than I have because of the things that they have unfortunately seen or had to deal with at home. Art is an excellent place for them to express themselves and let their feelings, thoughts, or dreams show.\r\n\r\nAll of my students deserve so much more than what little resources are available to them, I struggle to keep the supplies in my room adequate enough for the number of students that pass through my room every day, week, and month. I can sadly only do so much. I need help from others in providing what I feel my students deserve.
|
My students need better resources to use as they learn about their favorite artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Chihuly. When creating portraits, colorful flowers, beautiful paintings of underwater scenes, and imaginative clay food creations they have very limited supplies available to them. They plan amazing artwork, but then struggle to be successful as they use dried out markers or what is left in water color trays. Finding ways to give my students more supplies is a constant effort. \r\n\r\nAllowing my students an opportunity to work with better supplies will increase their abilities and feed their desire to flourish. It can be difficult helping students to see their great abilities when you are asking them to do so with so little. Art is an incredible outlet for them to shine and impress others. It is a chance for them to see how talented they are.

My students need better resources to use in Art Class this year, especially the chance to do a big clay project.

Vocabulary knowledge is POWER!
|
I work in a Title I Renaissance school where over 96% of our students get free lunches and many families work very hard in the fields all day, every day, to support their family! For many of my students English is their second language and they are below level in reading, needing extra support to help them make the necessary gains to increase their reading fluency. \r\n\r\nMany of my students do not have the resources at home to help support them in improving their reading skills. My students come to school every day and work very hard every minute of the day. They continue to amaze me in every way! They come from very low-income families, where buying even the many necessities can be difficult and at times impossible. This makes it difficult for many of the families to purchase books and reading resources for their children to use at home. I want to provide my students with experiences they never dreamed of!
|
We are in need of dictionaries for my students to use in class daily. We currently have only a few and those ones are very old and falling apart. For many of my students English is their second language and working on vocabulary is key to their language acquisition. Without enough dictionaries for the students to use it makes it difficult for them to effectively use them in class. With the limited supply we currently have each group is provided with only one dictionary to share. This does not provide students with enough individual practice. Having a new set of dictionaries will help my students in so many ways!!!

My students are curious and passionate learners. Each day they come to school ready to delve into the day's activities with energy and enthusiasm. I have a diverse group of learners, many of whom are new to the country or are first generation New Yorkers. Each one of my amazing students brings unique gifts and perspectives to our classroom community. At our school, we strive to create a classroom environment in which every student feels like an important member of our classroom and school community. It is my goal that every student feel successful and proud of not only their own work, but of the work we do together each day.

Our third grade class is located in a high need district in Brooklyn New York. My students love technology and are learning so much through the Chromebooks we already have. Our goal is to have a computer for each student. Many of my students do not have access to a computer at home. Having a computer for each student means my kids can use computers to assist them in math, learn coding, and so much more that will help prepare them to be digital citizens! Please help us get the Chromebooks we need to give my students access to the world!

Fidgeting on the Path to Success
|
Inquisitive, creative, and intense are just a few words to describe my gifted and talented students. They crave challenge and exciting opportunities to learn, and they love to problem-solve. In my classroom we work hard and have fun doing it. We believe that learning is exciting and a lifelong endeavor. \r\n\r\nMy gifted students have the ability to do amazing things, and the purpose of my class is to prepare them to change the world. I truly believe that these students are our future, and they deserve every opportunity to be challenged and \"grow their brains.\"
|
My students are not just differently intellectually, but they are differently in the way they process the world around them. They are at times frustrated by the differences in themselves and their peers. To have additional sensory outlets, such as stabilizing chair cushions to move on and stress balls to calm themselves with, can help them focus and be more successful in school. \r\n\r\nMy students would like to have a classroom with more options for physical movement in order to focus more easily and learn more effectively. The supplies requested will help meet their needs for physical engagement in the classroom.

Our school serves students with a 78% poverty rate. With that being said, these students lack experiences to build their knowledge upon. I hope to conquer this challenge, by offering them meaningful learning experiences, using technology, hands-on artifacts, and real life applications.\r\nI teach 47 third-graders, that come from a rural community.\r\n78% receive free or reduced lunch. Our school is one of four schools in our district including one primary, one elementary, one middle school, and one high school. My students are eager to learn, love technology, and always work to do their best, no matter the circumstances.

When I was in school, we did all of our \"problems\" with paper and pencil. When I first started teaching, the \"in thing\" was for each student to have their own white marker board and dry erase marker to do their work. Now, with technology and emerging gadgets, we are moving away from that. Students will use the Boogie Board eWriters to show what they know with mental math, do scratch work, and demonstrate knowledge when working problems on the board.\r\n\r\nDonations to this project will improve my classroom by putting the latest and greatest gadgets in their hands to work their problems on.\r\nThese new gadgets will also motivate them because they will \"want\" to do the work. It will also improve the classroom by offering another avenue for manipulative's and models for math.

Being asked to describe a group of students that I have not yet met is a challenge. I have data about each child; their name, race and literacy data. However, none of these facts describe what makes this class special.\r\n\r\nMy classroom, this fall, will be comprised of a diverse set of learners who will participate in a unique community of individuals working together to support one another on their journey towards academic success. As their teacher I will facilitate, coach, and instruct each student to meet their individual goals based on each student's strengths and weaknesses. \r\n\r\nThe data shared with me about my class this fall indicates that literacy will be a key focus this year. Ten students are identified for special education services, nine students made less than a years worth of growth in reading, and at least 13 are reading below grade level. The range of learners in the area of literacy ranges from a non reader to on level fourth grade readers. The most concerning piece of data I have received is that the students of color are the ones achieving at the lowest rates. This is unacceptable.
|
As a teacher in a Title One school, I am faced with the challenge of eliminating racial and economic disparities among my students so that they can have access to a relevant, rigorous and appropriate educational experience. \r\n\r\nChromebooks will provide my students with access to information and resources to extend their learning beyond the resources available within the classroom. They offer my students multiple opportunities to demonstrate their learning in a variety of formats that may better fit their learning preferences, goals and content. Finally, having access to technology in the classroom provides a highly motivating tool for students to interact with information, one another and their community.\r\n
| null | null |
My students need Chromebooks so they can have access to technology that can provide a window into a world of information that does not see the color of their skin, economic status or other achievement disparity.

The more you read the more things you know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go\" - Dr. Seuss We love to read! Peek into my classroom window and you will see little readers with their heads buried in a good book.\r\nMy school consists of approximately 800 students in grades K-6.\r\nWe put a strong emphasis on building character and establishing a challenging learning environment. Our school focuses on six pillars of character which include fairness, citizenship, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, and caring. My students come from very diverse backgrounds and family structures, but they all share a common love for learning. I teach a class of 21 First Grade students. My students range from 5-8 years old. They are driven, hard-working students who love a challenge.\r\n
|
These books would be a tremendous addition to my classroom. Guided Reading is essential to teaching young students how to read. I will use these books on a daily basis to teach students the Foundations to Reading. My school has a library of Guided Reading books; however, they are shared amongst over 40 teachers. Once the books are used in small group we are expected to return them to the community library. This allows students to read them, unfortunately not to provide further instruction. With these books, students will be allowed to use them for the week. They will be able to reread numerous times, which increases fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. They need the book bins to help organize the books.\r\nThis project will help them become successful readers and writers.\r\nThey will be able to do extension activities with the books that we read in small group. Small group instruction is valuable to any reader, but the ability to read the same books independently and dig deeper into the literature will allow for better overall understanding.\r\n

We Want to Move
|
Imagine that you have been sitting in a boring meeting all morning and all that you want to do is move around or get up and walk. My students are a diverse group of special learners who are full of energy and face this same problem every day!\r\n\r\nMy students are very busy and love to move. This is a challenge when they are expected to sit still in hard chairs for seven hours a day.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, my classroom is a much better atmosphere for my students to learn. I try to give them a fun place to learn that meets all of their unique needs. I have struggled to provide my students with the movement that they seek while still being able to teach them valuable academic concepts. I asked my students how I could help them to better learn, and they said, \"We want to be able to move while we work.\"
|
My students and I discussed how we could incorporate movement into the work setting. They suggested things like dancing, running, and jumping. We further discussed how sometimes it is important to sit in order to get written work done. \r\n\r\nThey suggested that we get yoga ball chairs and wobble stools like they had seen in another teacher's classroom. \r\n\r\nBy having yoga ball chairs and wobble stools, my students will have the opportunity to choose seating that works best for them. They will be able to get in movement all day while still being able to sit and work. My students will be able to better focus on the academic concepts that are presented to them because their bodies will be able to move while they work.

My students would love Osmo coding sets to enjoy in the classroom. The Osmo system is an award winning educational gaming system for the iPad. It allows students to work on fact fluency, letter and sound awareness, and 21st century STEAM activities through a fun coding program. To make this happen, we would also need three iPad minis to support the coding.\r\n\r\nThis tool would not only engage my students' minds but would also help them develop critical thinking skills and creativity.\r\nThey would be learning skills through play, and they wouldn't even know it! \r\n\r\nSince we have a diverse population, many students come from low income homes where educational technology can't be a priority. Many of my students have the desire to pursue STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) related careers, but they haven't had the opportunity to work with technology that would develop those interests and hone the necessary technological skills. Using the Osmo with an iPad, kids can practice math, spelling, drawing, coding, with a variety of different games and tools to meet STEAM learning in the classroom. \r\n\r\nTo incorporate art into the classroom, the students specifically asked for the Osmo creative drawing set because of their love for art. This set combines creative tools, games and technology to foster creativity and problem solving skills. I can't wait to see what the students will create with \"MO\" the orange monster! \r\n

Ms. Martinez's Art Supplies Needs Replenishment
|
My students consists of children from a low socio economic background. They are lovely, motivated and respectful children that are enthusiastic about learning. Specifically, I teach Social Studies to students from grades K-5. Since I am the only Social Studies teacher in the school, I frequently do not get to teach every class in the school. Our school has a population of over 750 students.\r\nEngaging my students through my pedagogy is my main goal. I notice that many of my students love art and doing art related activities, so try my best to incorporate art into my Social Studies lessons whenever possible.\r\n
|
I use art activities in the classroom to get my students motivated and engaged. I believe strongly that there are many types of learners and I strive to reach each type of learner through visuals, like PowerPoint slides, art work, photographs, artifacts and video clips. I also try to incorporate music whenever possible. If we are learning about the Civil War, I let students hear Civil War songs. If they are learning about the Underground railroad, students are exposed to songs that were used by escaping slaves as a code. If they are learning abut the Revolutionary War, students learn about Revolutionary War songs. I also believe that many students are gifted and/or captivated when you use art in instruction. For example recently, I was teaching students about Memorial Day. They learned many things about this very important holiday, but at the end they created a paper mosaic red poppy flower. I explained the significance of the poppy flower and how it was connected to Memorial Day. They loved this activity.

The Gift of Literacy for Dyslexic Learners!
|
My students come from a small, rural community. They range from Kindergarten to 4th grade and have been identified as Dyslexic. Dyslexic students have an average to an above average IQ. However, they struggle with learning how to read and write. This learning difference causes many of them to suffer from low self-esteem which effects them not only academically but socially as well. \r\nMany dyslexics are highly intelligent but feel stupid because they see their friends reading chapter books while they feel stuck reading what they consider to be \"baby\" books.
|
Since learning to read is a challenge for students with dyslexia these Kindles will provide them instant access to various levels of reading texts. The book they are reading is private so no one knows what any other child is reading. They can also listen to stories being read that might be above their reading level but is on level for their cognitive abilities. \r\nMany of the students in our community do not have books at home so these Kindles could be checked out to them to take home. The best way to become a better reader is to read and the Kindles will be a great way to get them to read for pleasure.

ST Math for Me!
|
My school is located in an urban area. The school has a projected enrollment of 368 students for the 16-17 year in grades TK-5, with fifteen classrooms. Additionally, we house a state pre-K program. 92.5% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and 48% are English Language Learners. 46% of the students are Latino, 35% are African American, 10% are Asian, and 3% are Filipino. The school has established a culture of continuous school improvement and has a team of teachers, parents, and administrators who are committed to creating the best possible learning environment for students. Teachers meet weekly for a sixty minute period during the workday in their professional learning community to analyze student performance data, set goals, and share instructional strategies. These teacher teams follow a developed agenda and use protocols and defined roles to manage the meetings. These meetings are Allendale’s cornerstone for building a professional learning community and improving student achievement. \r\n

My students need a set of 5 Chromebooks to be used during intervention for Spatial-Temporal Math (ST Math). By having access to this math program, students would be able to engage in high-quality, visual-based work that teaches concepts through productive struggle. The program is designed in such a way that it is friendly to newcomers who may be learning English, special needs students, and students who are struggling to visualize concepts. ST Math provides students with immediate feedback that they can use to grow their thinking. Using the program can be the bridge that some students need to accessing deeper mathematical understanding. However, we cannot access this program without adequate technology. Please support this project so our students can get going and get thinking!

Daily Needs For Learning
|
We are in a small rural community where many people are below or at the poverty line. Many of the students come from homes where English is a second language or no English is spoken. The students have an appreciation for learning and want access to the proper education they deserve through supportive and engaging materials in the classroom. Many of the students struggle to have the basic needs in the home setting so we work hard to make sure they have what they need in the classroom to promote their education and future. These students have a desire to learn and want the best education they can have.
|
These materials will help ease daily school work for all students. Many students lack the basic school supples to complete their classwork and homework such as pencils, crayons, and glue. We use these materials in all subject areas on a daily basis. Our students spend a lot of time completing interactive notebooks that requires lots of cutting out paper and gluing into a notebook. Students use these notebooks to demonstrate learning but also used as a text to go back and review in place of textbooks. Many of the students lack crayons, pencils, and these items. Our students have to rely on once a day to have pencils sharpened because our classroom lacks a pencil sharpener in the classroom. \r\n\r\nBy having access of these materials for all students; the entire class can reach it's potential in learning and in their work without having to worry about not having the basic school supplies.

This is what the classroom dynamic of my middle school classes! This year I am teaching at an amazing Magnet school in Chicago Public Schools. As I'm getting to know my students, I am realizing that there is a huge range of abilities in my math classes. I have students who are working at a 3rd grade level and others who are working at a college level.
|
My students are an incredibly diverse group with varying needs. I have some students working at a 2nd and 3rd grade level in mathematics, and others who need college level instruction. In order to meet all of their needs and push them in the direction necessary to meet their potential, I need to do a lot of small group instruction. I am planning to use 10 chromebooks for center time in each of my classes so groups can use them to access different online resources. While my school has access to some chromebooks, there are 30 to be shared with 200 students. Having a small set to use daily during instruction will greatly benefit my amazing middle schoolers.

STEM And STEAM Into The New Year
|
My classroom consists of fourth and fifth grade students with high functioning autism. We are on the Core Curriculum and follow the same pacing plan as the general education classes. \r\nMy students are motivated and have a thirst for knowledge. I provide a safe and fun environment for them to learn in. Roughly half the day I teach in a whole group setting while the other half is spent in small group settings, where I can pinpoint and focus on their weaknesses. We are a low income, Title I school, made up of ELD and SEL students. Most of my students do not have access to technology outside the classroom.
|
Nancy Kassebaum once said, “There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new age technology, but if teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.” I want to bring the latest and greatest technology into my classroom and give my students that upper edge. My students are becoming very creative with their classroom iPads and our classroom computers. As we approach the implementation of the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), I want to STEM and STEAM into this new year. It is time to take it to a 3D level! \r\n\r\nSince the beginning of time, children have learned by doing. If we had a 3D printer my students could create a multitude of objects that is related to our lessons. As my 4th and 5th graders learn anatomy and botany, they can design and create models of the human skeleton or a plant. As we learn earth or life science they can create models of their favorite planet or a model of the life cycle of a Monarch. The possibilities are endless!\r\n\r\nDuring the design process of their 3D models, my students will be expected to go through the Engineering Design Process. They will Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and once they have their model, they will be asked if it could have been Improved. With our 3D printer and enough filament for the year, I believe we can achieve so much more than we ever have!

This year I have a wonderful group of learners. They all come to me with very different skills which will require a strong presence of differentiated instruction. \r\n\r\nI want my students to feel that there is a challenge present for those striving for enrichment, a comfort to those that struggle, and the overwhelming feeling that they have every opportunity to succeed.\r\n\r\nThis group of students are going to make for a fun adventure this year in the fourth grade for sure!

I have spent the past year searching for ways to incorporate technology that can be effective for my students. I have found an excellent math based resource that allows students to learn math topics taught in fourth grade. They are student lead and are meant to build mastery. The use of the iPod's will allow my students to work independently and check their work using QR Code apps. I want me students to have the access to learn at their pace and allow a differentation of abilities to be met all at once in my classroom. I know that they will love this new addition!

Document Camera and Seating for Active Learners
|
20 fabulous learners will join me in my third grade inclusion classroom in September. My class includes students with moderate special needs like learning disabilities, developmental delays, ADHD, and emotional/behavioral impairments and third graders without disabilities. Over 80% of students at our school come from low-income households and nearly 50% are English Language Learners.\r\nAll kids love spaces to squirm, wiggle, bounce, move and get cozy, but my students will be especially grateful for furniture and technology that will help to meet their unique needs.
|
In my classroom teachers and students are always ON THE MOVE. We like to make our classroom environment work for us. One way we do this is through seating that can move anywhere in the the classroom: from whole-group activities on the rug to small-group work at tables to individual quiet time in the library. \r\nActive kids (and adults) love to sit on yoga balls because they get to use their core and keep their bodies engaged while their minds are at work. Bean bag chairs provide soothing comfort for my learners who might not get that type of experience outside of school. With all this moving around I need to be able to project student work, mini-lessons, and texts on the wall for all to see, no matter where students are choosing to sit at any given moment. When students are able to see one another's work projected their engagement and critical thinking sky rockets.

Organization Promotes Independence
|
My students are kids that are severely handicapped. This means that they are not able to talk, walk and move in the same way that most kids their age would be able too. They are very easily affected by the sounds and changes in their environment and often require various techniques to put them at ease. \r\n\r\nAs we launch a new program, we are still in need of basic materials to help make our program run smoothly and safely.\r\nWith the furniture in this request we are able to not only teach students new skills, responsibilities, and be organized. Also provide a therapeutic environment and show the students comfort at school so they can make the connection that school is a safe and fun place and comfort can be found there too.
|
The materials in this project will help to create a organized and more structured classroom. In a classroom, it is important to have every part of the day as thought out as possible. In addition to having students with severe mental delays and physical delays it is also important that the students are accustomed to a routine and that the classroom is very accessible so that they students will have a better chance at being able to navigate various parts of the rooms and activities safely. \r\n\r\n With structure and organization there is a much stronger chance that my students will begin to gain independence and have fewer behavioral outburst due to having a more inviting atmosphere. \r\nMy goal as a teacher of students with severe learning and physical limitations is to help them to reach their fullest potential

Learning Healthy Eating While Using Active Seating!
|
I work with students on the autism spectrum, therefore every day is unique. My biggest challenge in class is setting my students up for success while allowing them to facilitate peer-to peer interaction that will prepare them for the workforce.\r\n\r\n I work with high school students with special needs on the Autism Spectrum ranging from ages 15-22. My students attend school at a title one school in Houston, Texas. Seventy-eight percent of the students in my school are economically disadvantaged.\r\n\r\nMost of my students are non-verbal and are working on goals involving self-help and independent living. Students in my class need interactive and hands on learning materials and experiences to gain real world connections. My students need materials that will help them live healthier and more active lifestyles. Students in my class are ready to learn and just need materials that will challenge them and keep them engaged.

I work in a high school classroom with students who have autism. A priority in my classroom is setting students up for real world situations and to become independent learners. Many of my students need active seating to help them concentrate on what is in front of them. Our class would like to work on eating healthier and learning healthy cooking skills.My students and parents often request more instruction in the area of cooking and nutrition. We can do this by using visual cookbooks and working on portion size and nutrition when making meals. This is a great opportunity for my students to become more independent when living on their own while also facilitating peer-to-peer learning with the sharing of different healthy recipes and nutrition skills. \r\nBy using visual cookbooks and nutrition guides, my students will be able to spend at least 60 minutes a day learning about nutrition dense foods and cooking skills that will lead them to a healthier, more independent lifestyle. \r\nWith the use of active seating, my students will be able to better concentrate on materials relating to nutrition while also incorporating movement and healthy habits while in the classroom.My students will also use food pictures and flashcards to help them decide which foods are nutrition dense and which foods are not, helping them to make better choices when eating. With these materials, my students will also be able to learn skills that will transfer to life post-graduation and learn important interaction skills that will help them be successful in the workforce.

We are ending the 2016-17 school year: my second year as the Newspaper Adviser at Rogers High School. We just got back from the Arkansas Scholastic Press Association convention, and we are already feeling refueled and ready to begin planning the 2017-18 school year. However, we are missing a key element to a successful restart.\r\n\r\nWe currently have ONE, yes, ONE D-SLR camera and SD card that was kindly purchased by our yearbook adviser when I took over advising. We definitely need more cameras and SD cards for a staff of 10+ kids who are dedicated to scholastic journalism.\r\n\r\nAs of the fall of 2015, we are online and now have the capability of creating videos to enhance our content. Our current camera has video capabilities, but it has no option for an external mic to create quality sound. My students look forward to incorporating more videos into our site, but we need the equipment.

Programming Digital Displays
|
My students are a uniquely diverse group of students. 7th and 8th graders get to choose or placed into my Computer Science class because they get to have an elective class in their schedule. This does not necessarily mean that their reading, writing or math skills are to grade level. I have the challenge of working with students that are naturally curious and at the same time those that wonder how did I get stuck in this class. \r\nWhether the students choose to be in the class or placed in, they deserve the best possible experience that I can give them. For me that means we need to get hands-on. I want my students to get the chance to demonstrate their learning in a safe and non-threatening environment. That way even the student that did not choose my class can find the motivation to try to achieve.\r\n
|
The kids in the Computer Science class get to learn how to do some basic block program by doing different lessons using Scratch for the first quarter. I want to give the students a chance to show their knowledge by having them apply their learning to creating a digital display that is programmed through scratch but has a hands-on and innovative project.\r\nThe MaKey MaKey Kit allows the students to turn everyday objects into keyboard keys as long as an electrical circuit is completed. The students create displays that others can touch and trigger the programming the students have created. The wonderful thing about the project is that it can be cross curricular. The subject of the presentation can be connected to one of their other subjects in school.\r\nWhat is wonderful about this project is that students use their programming skills, learn about completing a n electrical circuit, build a display and get to use their creativity through out. I think each student can fins some part of this project that they are interested in getting involved with.

Learning Through Our Senses!
|
As they walk into the classroom, they are filled with love, joy and curiosity for the world around them. Each child's skills are as unique as their personalities. Simple tasks to some students are huge successes and milestones to these children. Simply looking at someone in the eye while speaking could be something these children have worked for all year. \r\n\r\nWith varying and multiple disabilities, these students are making strides inside and outside the classroom environment every day! Each one of them are joining their peers inside their general education classrooms daily, showing the importance of inclusion into each child’s life. \r\n\r\nI am thrilled to be entering into our school's high needs self-contained special education classroom this school year. I am a teacher in Hawaii and our Title I school serves students in grades PreK-5 with multicultural families. We strive to bring the Aloha spirit into each child’s life.

My students need sensory input on a daily basis. Each student uses sensory integration in different ways depending on what they need during that particular moment or by the day. Some students like to bounce, some use water play, some benefit from using their own body weight to work through stress, and some of my students use tools to help them with sensory needs such as theraputty, blocks, or items they can chew on.\r\n\r\nMy students will use these sensory tools, the new trampoline, and theraputty to release stress, work through anger, and have fun doing creative sensory activities. \r\n\r\nWith your help we can create more of a well-equipped sensory room for my students with the tools they need to succeed and learn.

Bouncing to Better Grades
|
These students are a diverse group of lively, active 8- and 9-year olds. While they are high-energy and full of spunk, they also come from low-income (often single-parent) homes. Many students' families barely have enough money for food, limiting the amount that can be spent on school supplies. These students may not have designer clothes, technology at their fingertips, or an abundance of school supplies on hand, but they do have a burning desire to learn. They are a great group of students with a thirst for knowledge.

Bouncy Bands are sensory tools that will help sooth student anxiety, frustration, and hyperactivity. The bands will help high-energy students remain calm and able to focus on their work. The amount of time spent on-task will increase and will result in better academic performance. \r\n\r\nWith today's high-stakes testing, every student needs an \"outlet\" as they sit for hours feeling the performance pressure. These elastic bands attach to the front legs of the student's chair. They can rest their feet on the bands and bounce them as needed. This is a quiet, individual way to release hyperactivity while remaining on task and without disturbing others.\r\n\r\nIt is my desire for every student in my class to experience the benefits of these bands as they bounce their way to better grades!

Student Center Communities!
|
The students in my class are incredibly bright and talented individuals. Although they live in an inner city where the schools lack some of the most basic supplies, they are all eager to learn. The low-incomes and high poverty that they are surrounded by do not stop them from growing and having dreams. \r\n\r\nMy students walk into my classroom every day expecting to be inspired. It is my job to provide them with meaningful learning experiences that they can take with them throughout their lives. Every day we set goals for each other and every day we do everything we can to achieve them. Once they are in my classroom, nothing else matters!\r\n
|
Center based activities are used almost everyday in my classroom. Throughout center time, students work with each other to solve problems, write, apply their skills, and advance their thinking. Supplies that are used in our centers include white boards, markers, computers, storage bins, worksheets, games, and a variety of other manipulatives. It is difficult for my students to successfully work through their centers when those supplies are limited. The supplies that I am asking for will be used by my students on a consistent basis and will help them obtain and apply knowledge. \r\n\r\nProductivity in our centers helps create a positive community for my students in and out of the classroom. When students are given the chance to work together, they form relationships with their peers beyond a basic friendship. By allowing each other to listen and contribute, they are giving each other a role in their education. Students tend to take this positive form of learning with them throughout their entire school day. Center work, at least in my classroom, has proven to be successful in creating well rounded students.

3D Printing To Transform Math Into STEM
|
I teach a variety of levels of students in Math 1 and Precalculus. I teach Math 1, which in high school consists of many lower performing math students. Several of these students receive free and reduced priced lunches and come from families who may not have the means to introduce them to STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) opportunities. \r\n\r\nMy students need activities and materials that will cause them to engage in the curriculum and encourage them to explore STEM topics - topics that are necessary for them to compete in today's job market. \r\n\r\nI also teach Precalculus students who are mostly advanced in their math studies, but who are dreadfully locked into book knowledge and are motivated by good grades, not by learning and exploring new ideas. These students need activities and materials that extend their talents past book-learning and offer them opportunities to explore STEM topics as well.\r\n
|
The 3D printer I have asked for in this project will be used with my all of my math classes. I would like to expand the hands on and practical application of math in my classroom. For this project, I have selected a 3D printer that will allow students to create and quickly print representations of the math concepts we are learning, such as a parabolic surface or a 3D model of the concept of slope, for example a wheel chair ramp. A lot of times, students in my classes have a difficult time picturing what the math would look like or why it is important in real life. 3D design principles and printing will bring to life what we are learning. Students will learn skills that they will be able to use throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThe 3D printer and design process will allow my students to build confidence and practice valuable engineering skills as they use this piece of technology that is becoming more common outside of school. Through our regular classroom instruction we cover the math component of STEM, but the addition of the 3D printer will allow the students to explore the technology and engineering strands of STEM. These activities could improve students’ future interest in profitable STEM careers and increase their motivation. \r\n\r\nIn addition to helping my current and future students develop better math skills, the activities described above will help prepare these teens for success beyond high school. Skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving will be focused on to provide the students with a foundation to be successful in college and the work force.

\"Increased physical activity during the school day can help children's attention, classroom behavior, and achievement test scores. Meanwhile, the decline of play is closely linked to ADHD; behavioral problems; and stunted social, cognitive, and creative development.\" -Darell Hammond, founder and CEO of KaBOOM!\r\n\r\nI teach in a Title I, 5th grade classroom with 30 eager to learn students. Many of my students come from a low income area and rarely talk about going to college. As their teacher it is my responsibililty to help them make healthy choices with nutrition and daily activities. It is my job to make them realize how amazing they are and that the sky is the limit, no matter where they come from. As their teacher, I have to make my classroom an inviting and comfortable place for my students. I also have to give them the opportunity to move throughout the day to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle.

My kids love to stand, move, and wiggle around while learning! My students would tell me \"these chairs are so uncomfortable and that they were struggling to focus while sitting in the hard chairs. Why do we have to sit here all day long?\" So I asked them what would make them more comfortable. We did research and found these awesome Hokki stools and wobble cushions made for students! Statistics have shown that kids are able to focus more intently when actively moving. These chairs and cushions keep the mind focused while engaging the body. The kids can move while they are working! They also promote a healthy posture. The wobble design helps to strengthen ankles, relax your muscles, and promote blood circulation. They are very easy to use, just hop on the balance board then you can use it for standing, kneeling and sitting & push up to develop balance & stabilization! These will be great for outside and even inside recess when the weather is too bad to go out. When you donate to my project, you are helping my students get active in the classroom and helping to promote a healthy lifestyle while overall increasing the wellness of my students. Many of my students have very short attention spans and with these new additions they will be able to be much more successful in the classroom and in life.

Scientific Inquiry in Herpetology
|
I work in a low-income, minority-dominated school system. Learning gaps exist everywhere you look. My students are brilliant but have never been given the proper stage on which to shine. According to one article in the Huffington Post (STEM Education And Jobs: Declining Numbers Of Blacks Seen In Math, Science), in 2009 African Americans received only 7% of STEM bachelor's degrees. My vision is to see my students have the same opportunities that I had in the sciences. Their potential is brimming; they need only the opportunities to unleash that potential

My zoology students will use these tanks to grow tadpoles into frogs for our herpetology unit. Students will get to experience the scientific method as they isolate variables to test on the development of their frogs, as well as see metamorphosis in action.\r\n\r\nThe hands-on emphasis of this project will radically improve my students' ability to achieve success, both in my class as well as beyond their classes. Connecting the abstract concepts learned in class to real experiences is inarguably the most helpful measure of any science class. My first group of students was able to do this project last year (with incredible results), but now that my classes are expanding I will need more materials for this year.

In addition to viewing media clips to help provide clarity on the culture of the various religions and ethnic groups, students need primary resources they can refer to to support learning, \r\n\r\nMy students represent students residing in downtown Atlanta.\r\nInman Middle School is a public school in Atlanta, Georgia, that serves a diverse population of approximately 1,100 students in 6th-8th grade. Our urban midtown Atlanta location brings together a wide range of socio-economic, racial and cultural backgrounds. We have students at all performance levels, necessitating differentiated instruction — as well as a large number of students served by Special Ed. Despite having the largest number of students living in transitional housing of any middle school within APS, Inman has lost Title 1 funding. This is a significant financial loss to the school’s operating budget, making it more difficult to fund even the most basic resources like copy paper, ink and school supplies. However, even with all of Inman’s challenges, our dedicated staff and hardworking students consistently produce outstanding work, in both academics and in extracurricular activities.

We now use Google Docs in our classroom to submit DBQ essays. The teacher will guide students through this process. Student work is graded electronically and students have the opportunity to make corrections and resubmit. \r\n\r\nThe Lenovo Chrome Book will help students complete this task. \r\nAdditional computer access will benefit all students. An opportunity to improve reading and writing skills will increase my students ability to communicate effectively. \r\n\r\nOur 2nd Quarter DBQ Essay question: Was America Justified in Going to War With Iraq? This type of question require students to use critical thinking skills to analyze documents and respond with a persuasive argument. This task along with other writing assignments will benefit students in all subject areas and support the ELA curriculum. Student learning and like for the writing process will improve from this technology addition to our classroom.\r\n\r\nThis project reflects the APS mission \"with a caring culture of trust and collaboration\" because students depend on teachers to provide the tools needed to meet success. This teacher provides additional tutorials throughout the week to accommodate students. Students have access to an adult that will proofread their essays and make suggestions as to how they can improve their work. \r\n\r\nThis type of student/teacher collaboration increase student confidence. Students gain the confidence needed to become college and career ready upon graduation. There is a need for all students to improve on their communication skills. There is also a need for social studies teachers to provide experiences to students that will sharpen their skills.

Flexible Seating for Engaged Learners!
|
I feel truly blessed to teach such a diverse and dynamic group of fifth graders who love to learn. My fifth graders are incredibly creative, inquisitive, and energetic and deserve a classroom where they can thrive. While I try to provide a learning environment that is beneficial for all my students, students' needs in my classroom vary greatly.\r\n Research shows when students are engaged in a comfortable, flexible environment, they are more likely to take learning risks. \r\nAfter observing and researching flexible seating, I truly believe my students can become even better learners if they are given the opportunity to choose a seat their comfortable using. I know my students will greatly benefit from this re-design of my classroom atmosphere this year!
|
If I were to ask you where you like to sit when completing a challenging task, most would respond with something comfortable! However, we expect students to sit at their hard chairs to do their best work on assignments and assessments.\r\n In one day alone, you could observe our class engaged in small cooperative group discussions, exploring scientific investigations and using critical thinking skill during math centers scrawled out on the floor. Offering wobble chairs, floor cushions and chair stability cushions to students gives them the opportunity to choose a seat they're comfortable learning in. These items help increase focus and encourage students to learn, while benefiting from active sitting. Offering choice is an important role of student success. With your help on this project, my students will be comfortable to engage fully into their learning experience and dive deeper into their education!

Superb Supplies for Super Scholars!
|
My students are hardworking, intelligent youngsters that come to class each day eager to learn. Our school provides opportunities for children to discover, achieve, and prepare for success in college, incorporating an arts-infused philosophy. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. In most cases, students are unable to provide the necessary supplies needed for the school year. They are in dire need of resources that will allow them to stay organized and keep them motivated which will allow them to showcase their incredible capabilities artistically and academically. These children are very creative and love to showcase their hard work and effort. With your help, my students will be able to reach their goals without having to worry about having adequate supplies. \r\n\r\n

As a special education teacher, I am always looking for new ways to keep my students active and learning. These bright, hard working individuals are in need of resources to keep them focused. \r\nAs a special education teacher, I am always looking for ways to keep my students active and learning. Folding cycles are a great way to keep busy bodies moving while working. Often times, students with disabilities find it difficult to stay focused when they are at their desks working on assignments. Folding cycles will give them the opportunity to move their bodies while their brains are hard at work. Literacy resources such as site word flashcards are an excellent way to target the needs of those students who are struggling with early literacy skills. More advanced students will benefit from comprehension and inference flash cards. Magnetic letters are a great addition to our spelling center. Students will take turns practicing how to spell words in small groups. The laminator will help us preserve all flashcards, posters and artwork so that it may be used again when the students return next year.

Science on the Go!
|
My 8th-grade science students are part of a high-level learning environment. There are new areas to discover. The classroom is a hive of activity using a blended classroom environment of technology, hands-on and group based instruction. The students are curious and ready to go, they are fast learners wanting to discover as much as they can about the world around them. The students are a blended mix of students from all over the school district; they come with a wealth of varied experiences and cultures.
|
My students are using technology outside of school; recording videos, using SnapChat, watching YouTube, etc., but the application of technology hasn't reached this exciting level yet in the classroom. My aim is to get students to experience the power of technology for learning in the classroom. We can do the same things they are seeing/experiencing outside of school here at school. Students will be energized and motivated to produce and contribute to high quality 360 recordings, record narrated experiences of various activities and show how they can contribute to the learning in and outside the classroom. Students will record events as they explain the motion of the moon and the planets in the sky, they will record and edit videos on Newton's laws of motion, they will record chemical reactions as they take place and describe the reactions as they occur. Students will be the teacher and I will act as the facilitator as we explore various science concepts in the classroom.

Getting the wiggles out.
|
I teach a class of energetic young children who have many types of learning styles and academic challenges. \r\nMany of the children in my class have a hard time focusing if they are not allowed some kind of movement while they are working. They move around in their chairs constantly and are in need of some kind of movement while they are sitting. It would be very beneficial for my students to have a chair that would allow them some movement.
|
My students come to school after a summer of being able to move around and do not have to sit still. These cushions will give them the ability to have a little movement while they are sitting at their desks. They are also mobile so they can sit on them when we are doing circle time on the floor. The are small enough and light enough that they can be carried around and use them as needed. They will make the children's chairs that much more comfortable and hopefully will encourage them to stay in their seats and get their work done.

My students need stability seat cushions so that they may have the ability to move without actually getting out of their seats.

Building Blocks to Learning
|
Do you remember your first school experience? Perhaps you have just sent your own little one off to pre-k? Nothing makes me smile more than thinking about those fun and engaging classrooms filled with excited little learners. \r\n\r\nI have the joy of working with an exuberant, energetic group of pre-kindergarten students in urban Title 1 schools. As a special educator, I support several inclusion classrooms so all students with a variety of needs are able to learn together. Each day is an exciting adventure for our little learners!
|
Teaching a student how to read is easy, but teaching thinking is another thing altogether. Pre-kindergartners learn through play, so I would like to be able to provide meaningful tools that inspire creativity and allow them to learn critical thinking skills as they \"play\". \r\n\r\nImagine the creativity and the problem-solving that would be taking place in the block center! All I need to accomplish this goal are a variety of blocks that students can use to build. By providing these supplies, you will make it possible for my students in three of the classrooms I suppport to become creative thinkers. A little bit of play will go a long way in developing students who are ready to face the challenges that their future will hold.\r\n

Academic Words Gone Crazy!
|
My students are a good kids who come to school everyday to work hard and learn. We work hard and we have fun. My students come from an area of high poverty and many are English Language Learners. For this reason we focus a lot on reading and vocabulary. \r\n\r\nThey love learning new words and phrases. They love reading books. More so when they truly understand what it is they are reading. Let's help these eager readers fulfill their potential!
|
In my classroom we read a lot of high quality literature. This literature includes a lot of rich vocabulary words my students struggle to understand. We are in need of these dictionaries to help us look up words to aid our understanding of the literature. Also we enjoy writing colorful pieces of writing by using good synonyms in place of common boring words. These dictionaries will also provide synonyms to help create this imaginative writing. Our class has shown substantial growth in reading. Much of this is due to the increase of vocabulary. Please help us learn more academic words.

Kindle Fires to Differentiate Instruction!
|
My kindergarten students come to school eager to explore and learn new things each and every day. I teach in a small low socioeconomic town. Over 75% qualify for free lunch and a lot of my students do not have books at home. Despite economic hardship my students come to school each and every day eager to learn. Each of my students came to my kindergarten class with different exposure to education. Some have attended head start their whole lives some were able to go to Pre-K and for some this is their very first experience in school. It is detrimental to differentiate learning for my students in order to reach all of their educational needs as well as keep them interested in what we are learning. Technology is a great way to differentiate and meet the needs of all learners espcibin today's technology based world. \r\n\r\n

\"Technology empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before\"\r\n-Steve Balmer\r\n\r\nI plan to use Kindle Fires to acces QR codes (quick response codes) You can scan the QR image with a barcode scanner and the image will give you information. All you need is a tablet and bar code scanner app! My students can use the kindle fires and scan the QR code and be linked to different literacy and math activities! Even books! In order to differentiate my stations some of the QR codes will be linked to alphabet recognition while some students are ready to work on building CVC words. As well in math I can have some students independently working on number recognition and counting while others can use the QR codes to complete activities for decomposing and composing numbers. I can also expand on our phonics and math lessons in stations. I will also use the QR codes in our listening station which will allow my students to access 100s of different books! The QR codes will be a game changer in my classroom, my students will work at their individual abilities. Brain based research supports the idea that children learn better when something is new and interesting to them! The ability to use QR codes will be new and support technology in my classroom. Technology in the classroom is powerful. My students live in a world where they are constantly surrounded by video games and cell

To the Rug...And Beyond!

My students come with diverse backgrounds from different countries around the world. Many of my students are refugees, and the majority of our school has low income households. \r\n\r\n My students have a love for learning, but have extensive needs to build their background knowledge, including vocabulary, writing experiences, and social language.\r\n\r\nOur school is committed to raising brilliant citizens that will have positive impacts in our communities for years to come. We foster relationships with community partners as well as parents so that everyone is involved in a student's education.

This will be my third year in 4th grade, and I still do not have a comfortable spot for my students to sit. Right now, they sit on a cold, tile covered floor. \r\n\r\nOn cold, winter days, students get very uncomfortable sitting on the hard floor. During read aloud, they have a difficult time sitting still because they are just uncomfortable sitting on the bare floor.\r\n\r\nHaving a nice rug to match our classroom theme will make the students more comfortable during groups. They will also use the rug for independent reading, writer's workshop, and math wall. Students can easily pair up on the rectangular shape to give feedback, buddy reading, or peer editing during writing.

Super Sunshine Readers

I have 15 young and talented fourth graders who come from all walks of life. Some of my students receive free or reduced lunch and do not have access to buy books. They are all very eager to get started with their school year. They take pride in their efforts and are willing to challenge their minds for the sake of learning. We are consistently one of the top-performing schools in Orange county every year. My goal is to prepare my students for success.

Every year students in Florida anticipate the release of the Sunshine State Book list. My students are super eager to get their hands on these books. I often form book clubs based to the current titles. Every year, this list of books encourages and keeps in the kids engaged in the literacy program. At my school, if a child reads all 15 titles they will earn a limo trip out to lunch with our principal. \r\nEvery child deserves access to these special books. With your help I am hoping to provide my students with all 15 titles. My goal this year is to take all 15 of my students on the limo ride.

Putting Our Best Foot Forward
|
Our high school has a group of students who work very hard to promote the values of teamwork and fitness. As a school in a low socioeconomic area, many of the students have struggles and find refuge in the after school fitness programs. These programs are very important to the school and to the community.\r\nThese programs work hard to promote teamwork, perseverance, tolerance and fitness. Volleyball skills, athletic drills, running and fitness skills are just a few of the activities that the students do in these after school programs.
|
As we started off this volleyball season, I asked the girls on the team what improvements they wanted to see this year in comparison to last year. They wanted a more intense practice time however they were concerned that the team didn't have ankle braces to help reduce injury of the players on the front line. They asked if that was something the program could provide. They have had very lengthy practice sessions already and have once again asked if they could have ankle braces in order to avoid injury. They also suggested team socks so the braces would not rub on their legs. \r\nThese materials will not only improve our program, it would also help avoid injury to the players.

iPad for History:\r\nAlmost As Good As A Time Machine

U.S. History at Elliott Grant Middle School is required for all students. That means I see half of all the 8th grade students at Elliott Grant Middle School. Like most middles schools this group is an incredibly diverse group of students. These students come from a variety of backgrounds with different economic situations and varied life experiences. The common denominator is that they all have to take history and they all have incredible potential!\r\n\r\n21st century students must be able to use technology for academics, not just social interactions. My students are definitely digital natives but are not well versed in using technology to further their education. This project will allow my students to practice the skills they need in the future while studying the past.

The practicality of using an iPad for educational purposes is not an innovative idea. In fact, one of the iPad's best selling points is its usefulness for education. I recently attended a technology for education conference where I saw a presentation by a teacher who uses an iPad in conjunction with an Apple TV receiver to deliver dynamic and differentiated instruction in his elementary classroom. I have been inspired.\r\n\r\nStudents of history who have access to technology are provided with an opportunity to explore the past in new and exciting ways.

Balance, Coordination, and Cardio - Oh My! (Wellness Through Music)
|
Our children need music to thrive and to give them hope. I teach music at a K-4 elementary school in southern Indiana. Our school serves a diverse population, and has excellent support services in house for English Language Learners. Most of our students are eligible for free lunch or assistance with supplies, etc. Our Title 1 Services help provide outreach to help all our kids succeed in academics and personal growth. \r\n\r\nWe are a small community who sticks together to try to raise these children to be the best they can be. Our students need us to be fully present with them each and every day. They need us to invest in them, so they can live up to their utmost potential. They have such a thirst for knowledge and learning, and it's evident in their positive attitudes, smiles, and hugs when they triumph over challenges and learn new skills.

When one of my fourth grade music classes got approved for a grant to get supplies for a fitness/wellness challenge in our music room, my younger students wanted to step up and add in ideas of their own too! We brainstormed together and this time it was my little ones who came up with some ideas to improve our balance, coordination, and cardio health while learning all the important music fundamentals and elements. Being both a music teacher and wellness/dance enthusiast, it brings me so much joy to see my students so motivated and eager to get moving! \r\n\r\nMy students hope to get new maracas, scarves, hoops, and other cooperative learning materials to help us explore music while using our inner rhythms (our heartbeats) at the same time! They want to improve their cardio health while showing how they can move their bodies to the music and demonstrate the musical standards of rhythm and maintaining a steady beat - like our hearts do each and every minute of the day! In other words, \"Music is life - that's why our hearts have beats!\"\r\n\r\nWe are asking for maracas to use to keep the beat while we march or practice jazz runs, scarves for exploring different tempos in dance and music, balls and hoops for showing off our balance and flexibility skills, jump ropes to make different rhythms and beats while we increase our heart rates, and some cooperative materials like a parachute and cooperative band to show how we can also build our problem solving and teamwork skills. The trampoline will also be used to demonstrate the beat we hear - and to get us warmed up and pumped up! The marking spots are used to keep order in our music room or gym as we explore all the space!

My students are all ESOL learners who are learning English as a second language. They from impoverished homes and are on free and reduced lunch. They are hard workers and usually come to school ready to learn. They are so eager to learn how to read and learn the English language. They are visual students and love to use technology and pictures in order to learn more in the classroom. They like to be engaged during the learning process and can easily get distracted if they are not doing a fun or engaging activity.

For my classroom, my students really need to be exposed to more technology. My kindergartners would benefit tremendously if I am able to use these IPADS in the classroom. I usually work with one group at a time, but with these IPADS and headsets I could take another group and the students could work on building their language skills through a program called Imagine Learning on the IPAD. The students will be able to use headset and talk more while learning their letters and sounds. This is also an engaging activity for the students because they LOVE to use tablets. They will be able to have fun while also learning!

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. \r\n\r\nMy goal is to challenge my students' minds, while inspiring their hearts.\r\n We are building a foundations for success in a school filled with motivated educators and eager students. \r\n\r\nBooks will teach my students to question, evaluate, clarify and examine. They are my inspiration! Together we will fall in love with reading and learning. \r\n\r\n\r\n

I am requesting books to build the foundation to a beautiful space in my classroom. My library will be a place where traveling, exploring and imagining will take place! Students will immerse themselves in the joy and wonder that takes place when you pick up a book.\r\n\r\nFirst grade is a world of exploration and discovery through rich literature and diverse books.\r\n\r\nBy engaging in interesting and meaningful books, students will not only learn to read but will love to read. By the end of first grade, students must \"read to learn.\" That transition will be made possible by their own hard work and by having books in which they can immerse themselves in.\r\n

Technology Enhances Our World
|
Working in a high-poverty, urban charter school, I see many different issues in the classroom daily. I'm lucky to work in a building that puts the students first and values their education.\r\n\r\nWorking with 5th and 6th graders, I can see how education is improving their life daily. Many of my students have issues outside of school that can impact their learning. My school puts an emphasis on the arts, and provides students many opportunities to express their thoughts. Each day is faced with different challenges, but these challenges make me care for each of them even more. By providing quality resources, they will be able to further connect to the set of standards that doesn't relate to their daily life.
|
Within my school, we have access to many different educational websites. However, we do not always have access to computer to be able to effectively use these websites. It makes it even harder to do research projects.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, I plan on using the Chromebooks to facilitate small group research projects and to provide students with more opportunities to use technology. Many of my students struggle with basic typing skills. The classroom Chromebooks would allow me to have a technology center to have students practice typing daily. \r\n\r\nI would also use the Chromebooks to allow students to do in class research projects. Working with low-income students, access to computers to type and research is limited. By having computers in the classroom, students are able to build those skills before reaching points in life the skills are necessary for.\r\n\r\nWe also have purchased online versions of all of our textbooks. Between using ConnectEd and Google Classroom, my school is working to become a connected school. Having computers in the classroom allows me to use this technology to a deeper degree.

My students need classroom Chromebooks to have access to the various technologies used to enhance instruction and learning.

Chromebooks So We Can Read, Write and Share Together
|
I work with a wonderful community of students and their families. My students are growing and learning in a supportive, small, tight knit, school community in Northeast Portland.\r\n\r\nThey are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, writers, and questioners. They are inspirations to themselves, their classmates, and me. My students are creative and hard working. They love to take their learning and create projects to show their understanding through art and writing. \r\n\r\nThese kiddos are becoming tech savvy in this computerized world. They have become experts in creating spreadsheets, word-processing, slideshows, and even coding! We write, edit, and publish on computers as often as we can. We need more Chromebooks for them to get working! Our class needs to update the technology so the kids can keep up with the times. \r\n
|
I am trying to get my students working on Chromebooks as much as possible. We will use them for research, writing, publishing, and practicing keyboard skills. \r\n\r\nIn the fourth grade we study the history of the Pacific Northwest. Students learn to research facts and reflect opinions and findings, and to relate past people's experiences to their own lives. This type of learning makes students more retrospective, with a deeper understanding of their own lives. To be successful in this technological age, they need to become fluent and comfortable with various types of technology. But is is also helping them become more aware of various cultures and their beliefs and lifestyles. It's wonderful to watch them become more compassionate and reflective people.

My students need chromebooks to do all the things that will make them successful in this 21st century learning environment.

Graphic Novels: The New Rage!
|
The biggest challenge I face is providing enough access to technology to help students understand and use electronic devices to their advantage. This is the year that I'm going to move out of my comfort zone and educate my students and myself to utilize and embrace the electronic benefits.\r\nI strive to develop a love of learning!\r\nI want school to be a place my students look forward to coming to every day. I provide opportunities for them to stretch their imaginations and challenge themselves. They each have unique talents and intelligence that contribute to the class as a whole.
|
I love reading and I love to teach reading. The key to teaching reading is to provide students with a variety of genres and provide books that students like and are interested in reading. Currently, my students are sharing and reading graphic novels in my class. I decided to capitalize on this high interest genre.\r\nMy students love graphic novels and I want to use graphic novels to encourage critical analysis of text and illustrations. \r\nI am planning to teach the whole group to critically analyze text and illustrations through multiple experiences with graphic novels. During small group instruction, I will support individual reader needs to develop mastery of text analysis by working and talking with them aloud. Students will create individual projects that demonstrates their understanding in the evaluation and analysis of text. Students will carry this understanding into other subjects and also see the connection of evaluating and analyzing personal situations and make appropriate conclusions that will impact their lives in a positive way.

My students need graphic novels to develop reading skills and encourage reading.

Big Books Makes for Big Growth!
|
I am the lucky teacher of 24 diverse students this year and I am excited to write this opportunity for them. Each day my learners commit themselves to becoming the best readers, writers and mathematicians possible. I am encouraged by each student's desire and dedication to learn and grow; their passion is noteworthy! \r\n\r\nI am fortunate enough to teach in a district that is full of staff, community members and families that truly love children and are committed to supporting their educational journey. When I walk through the hallways each morning, there is an understanding that every child will know, feel and experience love that day. Everyone works hard to ensure that this happens and we band together so that all children find success. When students leave our school doors, their next steps are not filled with as much certainty. Typically, I teach a group of students who come from all walks of life and socioeconomic backgrounds and face adversity on a daily basis. Although each family faces different challenges, a vast majority of our school's parents, guardians and foster families are committed to their students and helping them find success in the classroom. \r\n
|
Currently, my classroom has a large stack of wonderful Big Books to use during our language arts block. The students LOVE the large print, detailed illustrations and novelty of the size. However, at this time I have no way to store the materials and the students do not have easy access to browse and explore the Big Books since they weigh so much. \r\n\r\nWhen this project is funded, our classroom will have child-friendly storage AND a place for students to use the Big Books in a way that works best for them! Students will be able to sort through the titles and stand them up on a easel to easily flip through the pages. In addition, with the added bonus of a magnet board, students will be able to retell and act out stories using props as they read; the options for teaching, learning and exploring are limitless!

My students need easy access to Big Books and a child-friendly avenue to read and explore the books!

Blended Learning 2.0
|
My students attend an urban public school in Indianapolis, where a large percentage of students receive free or reduced lunch. They represent a diverse background of ethnicities and abilities. They are excited to learn and are encouraged to try their very best at learning new skills. As a school building, the emphasis this year is to strengthen reading and math skills and to integrate technology in the classroom to provide a blended learning environment that can help meet each scholar at their academic level and move them to a higher level of learning.
|
The 2-in-1 Chromebooks will be used as a small group learning area or as individual intervention support shared among 18 scholars. The building administration purchased an online reading program that claims struggling readers can gain a year's growth in reading by using the online computer program on a near daily basis. I want to put this claim to the test by acquiring additional computers with versatile capabilities and give my scholars the opportunity and access to achieve their highest potential in reading. In an effort to improve math skills, I was encouraged to use a free researched-based, online math program that aims to support and improve math skills for students. \r\n\r\nIn an effort to provide my scholars daily access to technology, I noticed that a few students had more difficulty using a traditional computer and were more successful with a tablet version for various reasons. As a part of providing differential instruction, I decided to try and provide differential technology. The addition of these 2-in-1 Chromebooks will allow for more versatility in access to reading and math intervention support.
| null | null |
My students need additional technology that is versatile and allows them to consistently utilize a reading and math online intervention program that supports student learning and helps to close the achievement gap.

\"Shred\" Your Worries and Your Papers!
|
My students are incredible! I have 24 motivated English Language Learners who are eager to learn. My students come from a low socioeconomic background with limited resources available to them. We are a Title I \"Performance Improvement\" school with a 100% free lunch program. Many parents work two jobs and are struggling to support their families. \r\n\r\nThough their environment may not be conducive to learning, my students have an insatiable love of learning. I know that if we provide them with the right support, resources, and opportunities, they can experience success.
|
STEM education is multidiscipline based where teachers can construct a learning environment where students are given the opportunity to experience, talk, debate, discover, design, create, and build. Technology helps us communicate; Math is the language; Science and Engineering are the processes for thinking; and all this leads to Innovation! I want to add the \"A\" for arts to make it STEAM! This shredder will be used in the classroom to shred our papers that we can recycle to use in Art! We have been learning about animal classification and the students designed and created an imaginary animal using characteristics from various animals. They made a diorama of their unique animal as well as a narrative about their animal. We can now build a 3D animal using our recycled paper that will be shredded into pieces that we can use as stuffing! We are recycling and using paper for art! \r\nTrue STE(A)M education means that students are creating, applying, and incorporating mathematics and at least one of the other content areas into their work. Art also fosters creativity that is essential to innovation.

Let's Do the Hokki Pokki!
|
I have a wonderful group of energetic transitional kindergartners who are full of life. My students come from different backgrounds in a title 1 school located in Southern California. My students are eager to learn and be creative every day! They are sweet, curious individuals who love to explore the endless possibilities in the classroom. They are like little sponges coming in each day ready to grow and understand even more about their world! But imagine being 5 years old and having to spend the majority of your school day sitting in a chair. It's hard to do! My transitional kindergarteners have limitless amounts of energy and are constantly in motion. They kneel, squat, sit cross-legged, and rock in their chairs all day long. I have several students in my class who also have various special needs, and these chairs would be so beneficial to help them get their wiggles out and in turn help them stay more focused!
|
K'Motion Stools are durable plastic stools with a slightly rounded base. The rounded base allows for (and encourages!) \"active seating\"...yes, I want my students to wiggle and move a little in their seats. The stools also have padding on the bottom that helps prevent them from slipping. Some of my students have a lot of energy and are constantly moving around in their seats. As a result, they regularly fall out of and knock over their chairs. K'Motion Stools will not only be more comfortable but allow my students to get rid of their excess energy. K'Motion Stools will allow my students to safely get their wiggles out, which in turn, will help them to concentrate more on their learning.\r\nPlease help my students keep their minds and bodies in motion as they focus and learn about the world around them.\r\nWe're dreaming BIG and hoping to receive a class set of these stools.\r\nSo far we have 12 that are rotating around the classroom and the students LOVE them! We would like 12 more for a class set. These stools will provide my students a safe place to sit and move without disrupting the rest of the class. Thank you for your consideration!

I love being apart of my school community. My school has many special programs to help meet the needs of a diverse group of students. \r\nMy special students are working on mastering basic academic and social skills to better prepare them for an independent adult life. My students come to school everyday wanting to learn and grow. They need many concrete opportunities to explore concepts that relate to real world experiences. I feel privileged to be able to help them succeed and reach their goals.

My special education students are working on functional academic and life skills. I want my students to be able to live full and independent adult lives. To help them achieve this goal I need to provide them with concrete learning opportunities. \r\n\r\n The requested materials will provide them with the hands on learning opportunities they need. They need a variety of materials to help them be successful in all academic areas. The letter beads will be used during reader’s workshop to help them with letter recognition and word work. The play money materials and interlocking cubes will help them develop essential numeracy skills needed for adult life. The use of Theraputty will help them strengthen their hands, so they are better able to write. The dogs and bands will help meet students’ sensory needs, ensuring they are able to focus.\r\n\r\n

Sew Much to Do!

My students have the biggest smiles and friendliest attitude at the school. We promote and welcome anyone who seems different or \"weird\" on campus. These kids live in a rough neighborhood, and kids even warn me not to stay to late at school. 99% of our students are on free and reduced lunch, and only a small percentage of students go to college. Theatre is a place to have friends, a family, a purpose, and to learn skills for live.

The Technical Theatre students at my school joined the class because they like theatre, but are still afraid of being on the stage. What they found was everything backstage! Lights, sound, costumes, makeup, construction, etc. My costume crew has been growing for a few years now, but we are without sewing machines in order to make 100% handmade costumes. They have been hand sewing as much as they can in order to feel accomplished, but they finally sat me down and said, \"Miss, we have so much we want to create, so we would appreciate if we could get a sewing machine.\" I would like to surprise them with 2 sewing machines in order for them to achieve the work they want, as well as come up with new goals for their future.

Play a game with me!

As Pre-Kindergarten students, the four and five year old children I teach are often coming into a formal childcare setting for the first time. My classroom is within a rural Pre-K-5th grade, public elementary school. Being a Title I school, many of the students come from very diverse backgrounds, such as cultural and socioeconomic. With many of my young students coming from disadvantaged situations, so at school they seek a safe environment in which they feel valued, respected, and loved. \r\n\r\nNot only do the children have diverse backgrounds, they also come to into my class with various developmental needs, some of them being well below age expectations in one or more areas. The activities I plan and the resources made available to the children are thoughtfully incorporate to facilitate their growth and development. I strongly believe, and actively advocate, that each of my students be allowed to explore and investigate the world that surrounds them in order to learn and gain new understandings everyday!

By having access to fun, interactive board games and learning activities, the children will be excited and motivated to learn. Through these board games the children will develop and refine important functional play skills, such as social skills of turn taking and sharing and well as team work and cooperation. These games also incorporate learning objectives such as color recognition, counting, and following directions.\r\n\r\nPlay is the foundation of learning for young children. Having the access and opportunity to participate in playing these interactive games, with a parent, teacher, and classmates will foster the development of life-long skills for my students.

Paper for our Projects
|
My students are excited first graders at our integrated arts magnet school. Students are engaged in our learning through technology, music, dance, and the visual arts. They are active learners and are eager to come to school to learn and love learning in new and innovative ways. Many don't have the preschool and childhood learning experiences that some other students have, and often look at our learning and opportunities with such wonder and excitement. My job is to cultivate their wonder and show them what they can do in the world and continue to challenge them to achieve their goals. \r\n\r\n
|
This project is for cardstock and construction paper for our classroom work, learning centers, and art projects as well as two construction paper storage containers. \r\n\r\nThese may seem like simple, every day items, but they really make a difference in our room and aren't supplied by our school. The cardstock will be used as part of our learning centers and will be used in art projects. When printing is done on cardstock, centers last longer. It also sometimes eliminates the need for laminating, which is a big time saver as a teacher. \r\n\r\nThe construction paper will mainly be used by students during our art projects. As a fine arts integration school, we do a lot and a variety of art projects. While construction paper can sometimes be used from the school collection, the colors and availability are hit and miss. This would allow us to have the exact paper that we need.

Making E-Students in the Digital Age
|
Diversity is what makes our students special! We have students in just about every demographic you can think of. So much is required of students these days that we want to help them find and achieve their dreams. \r\n\r\nReading is a powerful tool that we want to add to our students' toolbox of life. The more they read, the more they will learn about the world and themselves. The more they learn, the closer they will get to their dreams.
|
In the Digital Age, the availability of e-books and reading digitally makes books even more accessible. What is awesome about reading digitally is that students also have dictionaries available at their fingertips as they read online. They can look up unfamiliar words by just highlighting them. \r\n\r\nReading digitally will enhance the student experience, effectively making students into e-students. We hope to use Kindle Fires to promote digital reading and learning. Our students may never have had an opportunity to read on a device; we hope to give them that chance. The enhanced experience of e-books make for some awesome e-students!

My Growing Kinder Garden
|
When you first walk into my classroom, you may think you are entering a zoo, but if you look a little closer, you will begin to notice 22 kindergarten students actively engaging in learning. You will see lots of books spread throughout the classroom with little faces hiding behind the open books. \r\n\r\nNothing makes me happier than seeing my students completely engaged in their learning.\r\n\r\nWe are K-5 school that spends much of our time dedicated to growing self-motivated and responsible learners. My students are some of the hardest working children I've ever known. They are motivated, smart, funny, caring, and full of energy, as every five and six year old is. They come into my classroom in August knowing only a few letters and sounds and leave my classroom as readers! They challenge themselves to become better students and constantly surprise me by how dedicated they are to learning.
|
My kindergarten students are some of the hardest working kids I have ever met! Their love for learning is inspiring. If they could, they would spend hours just reading books. Unfortunately, as a new teacher, I do not have enough books for my students to read. My students need a variety of leveled books to read throughout the year. As they grow and learn, they need higher leveled books. By providing my students with a variety of leveled books, they are able to choose which books they are interested in reading. When students have a choice when learning, they are much more likely to stay engaged! \r\nBy donating to this project, you are helping the students in my classroom form a love for reading and learning.

ART MAKES ME SMART!
|
My students are the most enthusiastic group of \"little scholars\" you will ever meet. You see, about half of my students are identified gifted learners who are convinced they are on their way to becoming successful, productive citizens just like we agreed since the first day of school.\r\n Despite the challenges they face daily in their young lives, they come to school with an optimism beyond what words can describe and bringing with them varied talents deserving of the opportunity to be explored and developed to their full potential. \r\n This is difficult, given the fact that most, if not all, come from a very low socioeconomic status and have never traveled outside the boundaries of their neighborhoods.
|
My inquisitive group of 3rd graders look forward to Fridays which is Art Day in our classroom. \r\nThey long for hands-on learning and opportunities that will allow them to express their uniqueness and creativity. \r\nOur art supplies are limited and we have to share what is left of them. Having new art supplies will allow my students to express their individuality through art while also learning mathematical concepts, writing, and oral expression. All my students, but in particular those challenged by the English language, take pride in standing in front of their peers and parents and presenting their \"masterpieces!\" to them and anyone who is ready to appreciate their self-expression.

My students are special education students in the 11th grade. They require smaller classes and more direct instruction to help them access the 11th grade English curriculum that I teach. Most come from low income families and struggle with many stressful issues on a daily basis and school is often their only refuge. The district struggles to supply technology and resources that higher income students take for granted. All of my students have dreams of graduating and helping their families after high school.
|
I teach American Literature to 11th grade students. It is very difficult for my special education students to read many of the stories and plays in the 11th grade curriculum as many students are on extremely low reading levels. Because of learning differences, visual supports are a huge help in learning. I often incorporate a movie version of a play or novel to help them access the concepts. \r\n\r\nCurrently, we lack a functioning movie projector. The one I use is very old and projects the image in purple and is very unclear. We just finished watching The Crucible and the students would ask me every day if there was some way we could fix the purple image as it is so hard to see. I do not have a smart board or built in overhead projector in my classroom. If I had a functioning projector, the student experience would be so much more enjoyable and productive.

What's a Book Club Without Books?!
|
My 4th graders are hard workers! Since I teach in a bilingual class, most of them have learned English as a Second Language. Many of them have done so well, they are now in our Gifted and Talented program. This year, we have started a Book Club to help these students stretch their reading goals. While they are all good at reading, most of the viewed reading a chore. However, with this Book Club, my students are discovering something interesting.\r\n\r\nMy students are discovering that they love to read! They are excited when it is time to read, and their excitement is contagious! They love to share their thoughts with each other, and dig deep into the books and novels we read.
|
This year, I have started a Book Club with my 4th grade students. They love reading together, or reading independently and then coming together and discussing what they have read. However, there is one small problem.\r\n\r\nWhat's a book club without books? I need class sets of interesting yet classic novels that students can read. Since they love to use \"think marks\" on post-it notes to show their thoughts and evidence from the book, audio and electronic titles won't work for this project. They get so excited when they get to read the same book and then share their thoughts on it- and these books will allow them to do just that!

Pollock, Da Vinci, and Warhol need a printer!
|
We are in a rural community. Every space possible at school is utilized for student growth. The art room can be loud and boisterous with students who love to be loud while creating art; yet, it also has some of our most intense thinkers who create their artwork without a word to the people around them. \r\n\r\nCrayons, glue, scissors, oh my. Many different faces walk in and out of the art room since our students range from Kindergarten to Twelfth grade. Exposing students to Jackson Pollock, Leonardo Da Vinci and many more, some of the children know about artists and art forms and some come with no knowledge at all. Our students are working on how to express themselves through art. \r\n\r\n
|
Our art class utilizes many forms of art. Having a printer in the classroom will allow the students to have access to more visual references. This supports the students who do not have internet access at home and want to work from visual references instead of a computer screen. \r\n\r\nIt would also allow us to print photographs taken by students, then we would be able to display their artwork more often. Wouldn't you be proud to see your child's artwork prominently displayed around the school building? Wouldn't you like to open the eyes of future artists and influence their ideas towards careers in art?

\"A Carpet to Bring us Together\"
|
\"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel\"... This is one of my favorite Maya Angelou quotes and is exactly how I feel about my classroom environment. I want my students to feel like school is their home away from home. \r\nWe are Title 1 school tucked away in a quaint neighborhood in the San Mateo County. Our population is made up of 80% English Language Learners and we are dedicated to providing an equitable learning opportunity for each and every student at our school and in our classroom. \r\nI am new to my school this year and my classroom has no large carpet. It is so important in a first grade classroom to have a place to gather my eager readers and learners for circle time, mini-lessons, and reading time (partners and individual). It is also so important for them to have a designated spot for them to know is their own. I would love to have a colorful rug for my students to see from the very first day they walk in. I SO APPRECIATE your help!!!
|
A classroom rug will provide my class with a place to meet each morning for circle time and all through the day for reading workshop time (reading together or individually). A rug with specific spots gives students a welcome feeling and they know where to go. \r\n\r\nI want my students to feel like the classroom is their home away from home and a carpet is an essential part of that environment. I would love to have this all in place for the first day of school to not only help them feel welcome but also set our routines in place right away.

The Gaming Gang's Games

In our school's library, we promote the enjoyment of hands-on learning and exploration through using many different resources. One of my goals is for students to be excited about school and confident in their abilities. I believe it's important for students to participate in open-ended activities.\r\n\r\nOur school is in a very rural location in North Carolina with many of our students' families having lived here all of their lives.\r\nWe have 242 students total in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Our racial population includes several Native American, Multiracial, Hispanic, African American, and Caucasian students. We have a large percentage of students who qualify for free lunch. Our students love special school-wide programs and activities that promote fun learning. Teachers work together to teach collaboratively along with the support of specials teachers and the entire school staff. The PTA and community-at-large is supportive of special activities in and out of school. This community loves its elementary school!
|
Many students, by far the majority, do not know how to play board games or cards. As we know, games teach advanced thinking skills such as strategies, multi-step processes, and planning. Playing games also teaches basic interpersonal life skills such as communication, collaboration, and sportsmanship. Social, math, and reading skills are integrated into most games also. So, while students are having fun playing games they are learning; also, they are learning activities that can help bridge generation gaps. Having fun while learning promotes the love of school, enjoyment of a fair contest, interacting with others, and the enjoyment of learning.

Building Math & Engineering Skills in the Classroom
|
As a 1-to-1 school, my students learn a academic concepts through direct instruction, hands-on application experiments, and online modeling platforms. Our STEM experience teaches students math concepts through the world around them by embracing our agricultural heritage and rural community.
|
Our students are not taught in a traditional classroom setting as we work to guide our student's learning experiences through an environment where seats are optional and collaboration is expected. Students use their resilience and creativity while experimenting and learning from successes and failures of their own ideas. Given the opportunity to create and guide their own learning environment, we see students excelling in the classroom while taking their own ideas further than they believed possible.
|
Students will get an opportunity to work in a STEM enrichment class where learning will not be limited to rubrics and assessments. With the removal of the fear of failure, my students will be given a classroom environment where learning will not be devalued by assigning a grade. My students will work collaboratively on building and using their EV3 Lego Mindstorms Robot. Once students are familiar with the workings of the robot, they will challenge each other to create their own original designs. They will learn through trial and error, what works and why a design does not work. Through the process they will share with each other what they learned, research new ideas to experiment with, and then publish their own ideas and recommendations to inspire others. The capstone of this project will be the targeted development of a robot to compete in a local First LEGO League competition, using their robot to tackle challenges and solve problems as a simulation of real world experiences.
|
My project will give students a safe environment to work together building real math, science, social studies, and communication skills all while having fun in the classroom. The experience of presenting research findings and actionable recommendations to both school administration and First LEGO League judges will be both memorable and rewarding as students glean both research and formal presentation experience alongside the engineering, math, & problem solving skills from building the robot.

TECH SAVY SCHOLARS
|
Teaching students in a low socioeconomic environment can be a rewarding experience. My students are very eager and excited about learning this year. They are like sponges, grasping every concept and putting to use in their everyday lives. My students face many challenges each day, some have personal issues such as not enough food, some have lost mothers and fathers, being raised by aunts, grandmother, and sometimes in foster care. Some have been introduced to things unimaginable to the average adult. But through it all they come to school to gain as much knowledge to better themselves and to make a future for themselves.\r\n\r\nParents send their best to school everyday and it is my responsibility to take their best and move them to higher levels. These kids are dealing with so much but still are able to maintain a positive attitude and remained focused through it all. They deserve the best education possible and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that they get what they need.
|
Having the set of iPads will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. On way they will be used is as a technology center. Students can use the technology to find references to concepts learned in whole discussion. \r\n They could collaborate on group findings by sharing through and download apps for various reading practice skills for a Reading center, which would allow me to have activities for both my highest performing and most struggling students.\r\n Our classroom is not yet technologically advanced as it should be and this set of IPads would make a great difference in the lives and education of my students.

New Sensory Friendly Rug for Special Education Preschool Classroom
|
My students are fun and full of life! They are ready to learn and explore the world. These students have a special need that allows them to attend preschool through the local school district. They come from a variety of cultures and socioeconomic status but they are love coming to school! The program is housed in one of the districts multipurpose buildings which houses the alternative high school, adult classes and a preschool wing with day care and special education preschool classrooms. The students range in ages from 2 and a half years old to 6 years old. Students attend for half day sections with a maximum number of 12 students in a class.
|
This new sensory friendly carpet will become the perfect focal point for the classroom. The neutral colors allow students to feel calm and focused during calendar and group time which are both held at the carpet on a daily basis. We currently have a small round rug that does not accommodate our growing class sizes and physical needs for the students. This new rug would allow the adequate amount of space needed for each student to comfortably sit at the carpet during all the important lessons and explorations of the world! I know this would be a wonderful addition to our classroom!

Engage and Inspire Kids With Computers
|
Our school is a welcoming and wonderful place to be. Our main goal is to foster a love of life and learning in each of the students we teach. \r\n\r\nEach year brings a new group of students and once again I feel like I have hit the jackpot with this group. I have the opportunity to teach 29 energetic and creative minds. Each week we are growing and challenging ourselves to learn more and think deeper. I have an amazing group of students that are passionate about learning. \r\n\r\n\r\n
|
In our class, we have a diverse group of learners. Some students are reading and doing math at a first grade level while a few are reading and doing math at a ninth grade level. Meeting each of their individual needs is often times difficult. However, we have a few online programs that are able to challenge students at their learning level, ensuring that students are always growing and learning. \r\n\r\nComputers are a great tool to challenge students at their learning level to grow and think deeper. The more opportunity these kids have to access a computer the more they will flourish as a learner.\r\n

Stool Sitting = Focused + Attentive
|
I serve 120 seventh grade students in a low income Northwest Chicago neighborhood. I teach all these amazing kids science and to a select group writing. We are one of the largest Chicago elementary schools, with over 1500 enrolled k-8 students. My students are predominantly Hispanic and many are in an ESL/bilingual program . They are super nice, enthusiastic kids that are very willing to learn. Therefore, I am consistently seeking grants and donors that can help me educate them to their fullest potential.
|
Every year I have a handful of students that need a little extra to focus and stay attentive in class. I have tried foam balls, kinetic sand and even allowed students to chew on their pen cap (I know is not good for their teeth). Most of these items are hand gadgets, which also takes away from students writing notes or assignments. The Kobe stool will allow a student to move with his/her waist and/ or hips. An active sit will be very beneficial for students that feel they need constant movement during a 45+ minute classroom. This stool has received great reviews and I hope it can improve some of my student's learning experiences.

We Love Hands-on Literacy!

I work at a Title 1 school where over 74% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches. I am blessed to be working with 22 of these highly inquisitive, fourth-graders this coming school year. \r\n\r\nMany of my students do not have exposure to quality, age-appropriate reading materials at home. With their parents and or guardians working - sometimes two or more jobs to make ends meet - they aren't able to visit the public library to check out books to read.
|
To increase student engagement during our literacy block, each child needs the text right in front of him or her. High-quality, interesting texts will grab the students' attention and promote discussion. By using dry erase markers on these laminated task cards or short passages, students can underline and mark these texts to find evidence of their understanding. The fact that these pages are laminated, will provide students the opportunity to use the texts in multiple ways to deepen their comprehension. Plus, the same set can be used over and over with each small group since it will easily wipe off.

Music Stand Cart for a Growing Class.
|
The students are from a school with limited resources. The music program has no budget, and, yet, we get through the year with donations. My students rehearse almost everyday after school to supplement the time they may have during class. Many of my students prefer to stay in the music room before class, during lunch, and late after school. \r\n\r\nMy students are a mixture of 9th-12th graders who are eager learners and members of the marching band, drum line, and the beginning bands. New this year is an Advanced String Orchestra.
|
As the program grows the students are always in need of more stands. Luckily the previous teacher was able to get stands before he left. now the stands are starting to take a lot of space in the classroom. \r\nHaving an additional music stand rack will enable us to neatly store our stands and at the same time make additional room available for more students to join my classes. I believe in making the room look as neat as possible so that the majority of the time in class students spend playing and learning their music. My students deserve the best!

College-Prep English Class Needs a Dell Chromebook
|
The students in my classes often struggle but continue to work very hard. However, most of my students lack access to technology. This causes numerous problems, as every student must pass all course competencies in order to pass.\r\n\r\nI teach ninth grade college-prep English at a high-poverty high school that has the expectation that all students, regardless of previous preparation, will go to college. Though it is required that I teach formal writing and presentations to my students, my school does not have sufficient resources for all students to have access to computers so that each and every student can successfully complete all writing and speech standards. It is a shame that such determined students are deprived of resources that could have such a dramatic impact on their educational journeys towards college.
|
If a Dell Chromebook 3120 11.6\" Celeron N2840 4 GB RAM 16 GB SSD and Google EDU Management Console License. are provided, my students will have access to resources that will assist them in meeting the demands of the academic writing and speech skills of ninth grade college-prep English. Successfully mastering the skills and standards of my course will move them one step closer to college.\r\n\r\nFunding this project so that my students will have increased access to technology will be creating a better future for them.\r\nAnd, this Dell Chromebook will make a difference in my students striving for and completing a college education. Thank you. \r\n

Art Plus Math Equals Interactive Notebooks
|
My fifth graders live in a working class and immigrant neighborhood. Some of them are learning English as a second language, some have special needs, some are gifted, and all of them love to learn. Our Title I school is an important safe haven for my kids who are surrounded by poverty and gang activity. \r\n\r\nWe are empowering students through art and project-based learning when we connect the arts to all curricular areas, including the humanities, history, literature, and science. Each year we share our learning with the school community and the community at large as we host student-made film festivals and project museums.
|
This year we are combining art and math to make interactive math notebooks. An interactive notebook is a learning tool where students record their ideas, develop questions, and use as a resource. It's almost like creating your own personal textbook. How do they do that? They can glue fraction bars using colorful paper or write math vocabulary using different colored markers. They use elements of art and design to personalize their notebooks and give them an artistic quality that serves both form and function. We already have the composition books. We are asking for \"notebooking\" supplies like markers, pencils, paper, Post-it notes, note pads, and gluesticks. Plus, we need pouches to store our materials and sticky note easel pads to make giant versions of our notebook entries. In addition to math, we will use these materials in other areas like writing and social studies.\r\n\r\nWith your generous donation, my students will turn their math notebooks into works of art. The pencils, colorful papers, and markers will help them create their own personal \"textbooks.\" My students and I thank you!

Chromebooks for Kids to Code and Meet Common Core Standards
|
My 6th grade students are motivated and excited to be learning while using technology! They are an energetic group of learners Elk Grove, California located in Sacramento County. We are a diverse school with students from many ethnic backgrounds, cultures, languages, and learning styles. Located in an old farming community turned suburb, we have a supportive parent base and community. Chromebooks will give my students access to their Google Drives, which enables them to write, produce, research, edit, and share what they've learned. As their reading teacher, I can give them immediate feedback while they are working in their Google Drives/Google Classroom. They love anything related to technology. Learning becomes fun and exciting for them when they can visit a website and play a game while learning reading, language, and coding skills.\r\n

\"If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow.\" John Dewey My goal is to give technological access to my students during all parts of their instructional day to not only have the opportunities to show their learning, but also to prepare for their future.\r\n\r\nPaper and pencil learning is archaic.\r\nImagine a learning environment where information is at your fingertips! With Chromebooks, my classroom is just that place. Chromebooks will allow my students to research, write, create, & review Common Core standards individualized to meet their learning needs. My students will have access to their Google Drive accounts where they can create slide presentations & have instant access to video, images, research, and websites for their topic. They also can create documents where they write essays aligned with Common Core standards. Our school also subscribes to a Common Core based site called MobyMax. It assesses students and assigns them lesson based on their assessments. Student, teachers, and parents can monitor their progress. It's a highly motivating and exciting program for kids. Also, students can learn to computer code at code.org and scratch.com.\r\n\r\nThe over the ear headphones that I am requesting are to better help my 6th students access information through the Chromebooks. Students will be able to watch videos, presentations, & complete audio projects without interfering with other classmates' learning. These headsets will also allow students to dictate while typing.\r\n\r\nDid you know?\r\n\r\n•\t90% of American schools don’t teach computer science.\r\n\r\n•\tFewer students are learning how computers work than a decade ago!\r\n\r\n•\tAll students can learn to code. But girls and students of color are severely underrepresented in computer sciences.

Books!

Dr. Seuss said, \"The more you read, the more you'll know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go.\" Unfortunately, it's a challenge to follow his wise words when access to rich and engaging texts is limited.
|
If you walked by my classroom, you would see 22 smiling 2nd graders buzzing with excitement over books. I work at a diverse school, economically and culturally. Each one of my students comes to school with different life experiences and background knowledge, but one thing they have in common is their love of reading. Most of my students do not have access to a wide range of books at home, so they come to school each day excited to get their hands on a good book. One of our many favorite times of the day is when I am reading aloud to my students. They are always asking which book we will be reading next.
|
I am requesting multiple copies of books that are used for the Rooted in Reading curriculum. There are four books that serve as modeled texts for each month. One book is the focus book for the week. At the beginning of the week, the modeled text is read aloud. The book is reread for reading comprehension questions. Throughout the remainder of the week, students complete different activities using the modeled text. Students will be able to use these books to reread independently and with a partner, as well as to use as a resource to complete the different activities.
|
Books are a way for my students to experience the world. By reading these rich and engaging texts, my students will improve in reading comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. Students will be able to enjoy reading these books over and over again. Their love of reading will continue to grow by reading books that are relatable.

They learn to SEE that science is part of their every day life and have been using it all along. \r\n\r\nThese students are eager to learn and LOVE to do science experiments! Many of our students are ELL learners. Even though, we are a rural school we are constantly find ways to find the best tools for our students to become successful learners. Our main goal to see our students become successful learns and be motivated to do their best. We appreciate any support you give our class!

This year, our fifth graders will be tested in Science. Weather is a hard topic for them to understand. My students need the weather map to check the weather daily and graph the results. By doing so, students will be able to see the weather concepts come alive. Daily review of the weather will make learning the weather concepts easier to understand. \r\n\r\nIntegrating literacy is also an important part of learning science. Reading takes you places, so The science books will help introduce body systems, weather and physical and chemical changes. As students listen to the books, they will be exposed to the science vocabulary related to the topics.

Help Have My Students \"Back\" With \r\nNew Backpacks!
|
Our school is composed of students that come from a community that often struggles to make it. They are amazing kids and families that deserve the best! They work hard and have great attitudes! They need extra support physically and financially to help them be successful. 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Their lack of resources does not stop their drive to learn. They are motivated kids that once they have the proper tools their success is endless.

I am requesting backpacks for my students. Many of them don't have one and some of the ones that do have a backpack need new ones. Many of my students have backpacks that have been handed down to them by older siblings. We are not even half way through the year and they are tearing already because of the high use. I want to be able to give my students the ultimate gift-a new backpack of their very own! The backpacks will help my students become very organized. \r\n\r\nI need your help, to have my student's \"back\" with a new backpack!\r\n\r\nYour help with this project would help put great backpacks into the hands of deserving kids. They will be so excited and it would be the ultimate gift to help create organized and successful learners.

Life Through Literacy in Fifth Grade!
|
My students are a curious bunch full of creativity and personality who I am honored to get to spend my days with.\r\nThese 48 fifth graders in my classes are currently my favorite bunch of 10 and 11 year old kiddos on planet earth! \r\n\r\n\r\nI refer to them as a bunch because when things get silly, we say things are bananas. We are a class full of diverse cultures and backgrounds. As they explore our classroom library my students would enjoy the opportunity to choose from more books suitable for fifth grade content!
|
My 5th grade students are exposed to a variety of historical topics throughout the year. They are also energetic readers to love visiting fictional worlds, building their imaginations. By using literacy we will cover various Social Studies standards this year. \r\n\r\nWe are requesting multiple copies of several well-known historical fiction novels for young readers as well as 13 other high interest novels.\r\n\r\nWe will be reading many of these books in small groups, gathering together to discuss the literature in-depth. The discussion is guided by students as we dig deep into content. Students talk about the plot and the characters, the author's craft, or personal experiences related to the stories we read in addition to its relation to history. Through these novels I can keep our student engaged as they explore our Social Studies content though literature. \r\n\r\nStudents need the opportunities to examine the world from different perspectives and through historical eyes. Good books allow students to dig deeply into materials to get a full understanding and experience, which encourage cooperative learning and higher levels of critical thinking.

My students need high interest novels, specifically with a social studies focus! In addition to 13 highly rated novels, this will give students access to 4 different socials studies novel sets for centers.

Wiggle While We Work!
|
If you come into my classroom on any given day you will find students in a variety of learning spots! When I first started teaching I loved the idea of flexible seating but I wasn't brave enough to take my tables out completely. This year I have a large number of students and my room is just too packed! My students do so well working in their most comfortable spots around the room! I decided that this would be the best year to 100% devote myself to a flexible seating learning environment. \r\n\r\nI have the largest number of students with exceptional education needs that I have ever had in my career. This requires different learning areas and classroom arrangements that meet their needs. \r\n
|
I have seen a tremendous difference in the focus and learning in my students since I changed my classroom to a flexible seating option classroom this year. Their focus and learning was changed for the better! \r\n\r\nStudents will feel the desire to reach their learning goals when they are positioned in their most comfortable learning space. Wobble seats are great tools to aid in those specific needs. A variety of flexible seating options are necessary to maximize this seating style. \r\n\r\nI have four particular students in mind that need these seating options this year. My goal is to have these two specific styles of seating before the end of the school year so that they may have aid in reaching their full learning potential. \r\n\r\n

Wobble and Balance While Learning!
|
I teach in a fairly rural district in southwest Missouri.\r\nIt prides itself on academic achievement and a sense of community. My students come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. I have 20 Kindergarten students who are very confident, eager to be involved, and want to and can accept a great deal of responsibility. They like going places and doing things, such as working on projects, experimenting, and working with others. My students are growing in their ability and desire to work cooperatively with others. They want to be industrious and successful. Their combination of a “can do” attitude and their cooperation and responsibility make them a delight to teach and work with.
|
My students have been pushing for more options when it comes to their seating choices. We are ready to rock and move with Wobble Chairs and Balance Ball Chairs! There are several students who have a difficult time sitting still. These special chairs are an excellent resource for these students and others that just can't be still. They allow them to move, wiggle, and rock back and forth at their seats so that they are still able to complete their work. This will also integrate well with our flexible seating arrangement while providing a great core workout! Wobble Chairs and Balance Ball Chairs are a great alternative seating method that promote health and fitness!\r\n\r\n

Enticing Books for All Readers
|
I teach both gifted students and struggling readers. Students in my reading class spend time reading every day. Many of them start the year saying they don't like to read. I want them to finish the year having fallen in love with books.\r\n\r\nMy reading students are in middle school and, if they are taking my class, they are not on grade level for reading.\r\n\r\nEven though they may not read as well as their peers, they are often willing to take a leap and read a more challenging book if I can get them to see how interesting it is. It's essential that I have a compelling, age-appropriate, and up-to-date classroom library.
|
My students need contemporary books such as Maximum Ride, Unbroken, and Burning Blue for independent reading. My students will use the classroom library books to read during independent reading time in class. They are also encouraged to check these books out and take them home to read. We do a number of book projects throughout the year with the books they read for independent reading.\r\n\r\nThese books should provide enough variety and fresh titles to my classroom library that every student can find something he or she likes to read.\r\n\r\nI hope that students will get hooked on reading in 7th grade and become lifelong readers.
