What's happening in Room 23 ?

 

My Donors Choose Project was fully funded!  I was able to purchase the Epson Projector, pictured above, for use in our classroom.  We use it primarily for Reading Roots Interactive activities, but I have used it in our other subject areas, as well. 

 

 

This is the projector in use during Reading Roots class.

 

 

 

In Reading Roots, we have been reading stories about China.  On our Adventures in Writing day, I made Hot Dog Stir Fry.  As we cooked the stir fry in the electric wok, the students wrote the steps to making stir fry.  It's quite easy to make and the students really enjoyed trying something new.

In Math, we are working on Fact Families.  The children really enjoyed using playing cards to create fact families during class on Friday.  You can find the printable here and use cards at home to practice with your child.  We used cards 2-9 to practice in class.

Donors Choose--Please help!

Every day in our classroom is spent encouraging my learners to become readers, writers and mathematicians. The best teachers give their students roots and wings: roots to create a foundation, and wings to fly off and practice what has been taught them.   This is why I chose to create a request through the Donors Choose website.  You can visit my project here:  http://www.donorschoose.org/mrsdryzal. 

I am requesting funding for a LCD projector to use in our classroom.  Through the use of a LCD projector, my students will be able to participate in a variety of on-line interactive activities that are part of our Success for All Reading Roots program. Activities include sound it out, stretch and read, vocabulary, shared reading of the stories and more. It will enable me to reach students with

a variety of learning styles.

We will also be able to use the projector to take virtual field trips in Social Studies and Science classes, as well as do a variety of interactive Math lessons. Donations to this project will improve my classroom by adding much needed technology, enable me to reach students with a variety of learning skills, and allow my students access to technology on a new level.  

Any donation, large or small will help us reach the goal of a LCD projector in our classroom!  Until October 16th, all donations will be matched dollar for dollar! Please use the promo code SPARK for the funds to be matched.   Thank you in advance for your consideration! 

Thank you for stopping by!
