Literacy in the 21st Century

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 75

The new technology that we were able to get with the Champions for Learning grant have gone a long way toward allowing our kids to be more independent learners. In a classroom environment like the one we are building, kids make many of their own learning decisions. Kids are now able to work at their own pace, independently, in small groups, and even in or out of the classroom. We know that technology frees us up to accomplish great things. 

It is a beautiful sight in class when kids are working on their own projects at their own pace. These kids must plan out their learning, gather resources that they will need, and demonstrate their learning in the way they deem most fitting. We problem-solve, create, and innovate. Later this semester, kids will be participating in our Genius Hour program. During our Genius Hour time, kids will have the opportunity to create personal learning projects. Genius Hour is something that is sweeping the nation and our kids will be right at the cutting edge. 

All of us appreciate the support that the Champions for Learning organization has given us. You are making a world of difference for our classroom and our kids. Thank you!
