My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to learn new concepts and work together with their classmates. Truly, they are my inspiration!
With our world quickly advancing technologically my students are using Chromebooks to meet their individual needs, build collaborative skills, and gain the necessary technical knowledge to be successful in the 21st century.
My students range in interests and abilities. However, they all have one thing in common: they are all part of the Mrs. Toft's family. We work hard to build a strong community in my classroom and technology integration plays a key role in this.
Our school is nestled in the rural area of Auburn, California in the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
My Project
I am requesting 5 Chromebooks for my 3rd grade classroom. The purpose of this project is to implement technology into my classroom on a daily basis. The Chromebooks will be used to differentiate educational material for all of my students. Students learn through different modalities. Students with disabilites, English as a second language learners and students who don't have technology at home can now all be on a level playing field in the classroom and have access to the many sites that students can use to research, improve fluency (in reading and in math), go deeper with concepts being taught, and have fun with learning.
In addition, students love to be creative!
The interactive tools available on a Chromebook, as simple as Google Slides, will inspire my students learning and motivation for reaching their educational goals.
