One month ago we received TWO brand new computers for our classroom through The Rhame Family Foundation Grant Program. We couldn't be happier to have these resources in the classroom. The grant was written with the focus on project based learning. The computers serve as a resource for gathering information for our Social Studies and Science curriculum. We also use the computers during math centers and for typing our writing. So far 6 children have drafted, edited, revised, and published a personal narrative piece using the computers to type their finished product. We have a list of students waiting to type their narratives as well. Having the computers in our classroom has changed our daily routines and enhanced our learning. We couldn't be more grateful! The Rhame Family Foundation has also equipped other classrooms with computers and provided the music and art teachers with supplies and instruments as well! Thank you Rhame Family Foundation!
The first project we have completed aligns with our Social Studies Standards:
SS3H2 The student will discuss the lives of Americans who expanded people’s
rights and freedoms in a democracy.
a. Paul Revere (independence), Frederick Douglass (civil rights), Susan B. Anthony
(women’s rights), Mary McLeod Bethune (education), Franklin D. Roosevelt
(New Deal and World War II), Eleanor Roosevelt (United Nations and human
rights), Thurgood Marshall (civil rights), Lyndon B. Johnson (Great Society and
voting rights), and César Chávez (workers’ rights).
b. Explain social barriers, restrictions, and obstacles that these historical figures had
to overcome and describe how they overcame them.
It's going to be a great year! Thanks Again Rhame Family Foundation :)
