Make Learning Visible

I am requesting an iPad Pro for a professional way to document their artistic growth. In distance learning, documentation provided a way to make students' creative process visible. They captured grainy Chromebook images of their work and were able to share them with their peers.

Having access to this iPad in the art room will not only provide a tool to record how students use visual thinking strategies but will provide us with important 21st century skills.

Provide Classroom US and World Wall Maps

I am requesting funds for classroom wall maps of the US and the world. Whenever I have taken out a map in my classroom, the room explodes with questions from all of the students, and having a wall map that everyone can see is such an important part of learning geography. We will be studying the Native peoples of Oregon this year, and we will need some maps to help us understand the geography of the United States and the world. Our current U.S. map is probably 40 years old, and ripped to shreds, and we have no world map for the wall at all.

My students need to have wall maps in order to gain perspective and to collectively see themselves as part of the communities of the United States and the world. Thank you for contributing to the knowledge base of our future citizens and decision makers.
