Mrs. Hotchkiss Class Receives Donation
Mrs. Hotchkiss’ class was blessed once again with some wonderful supplies donated through donors choose! Mrs. Hotchkiss put in a proposal for wireless headphones and educational games for her interactive whiteboard through donorschoose.org. Several generous donors from all over the United States help her meet that goal. Her students are able to practice the skills that have been taught to them independently during their computer station time. Mrs. Hotchkiss stated “They get so excited about using the new games and interactive whiteboard. I get excited too, because I know they are practicing the skills that I have already taught them.”
