Welcome to Goldstar educators, a podcast from the La Crosse public education foundation. Great things are happening every day lacrosse public schools hear first-hand from teachers that are on the front lines about how this nonprofit education foundation is strengthening our community, one student at a time that I never take me love seventh grade and I look back on my favorite year of my entire schooling came through college that great is still my favorite year to Jean Halderson is a Cooley pod. Teachers seventh grade teacher. By the way, teaches social studies and language arts at Longfellow middle school. I really don't think that the public knows all the things of the La Crosse public education foundation does to help out our students. There are so many things that that I know for me the foundation I weave my way of thinking if I got to be a better way to see something a person always involves money right because I needed some kind of cheerio I need some kind of experience and it wasn't everything that the regular school budget could pay for and sell because I'm one of those dreamer type teachers and I dream about what you I would write grants and there's someone out there that believe that there is something more creative and innovative to. That's why the foundation works and I'm guessing that most people don't know all of the amazing things that happened in our school district because of the foundation. Tell me about one of the grants you've written to you lately when I've been writing grants. I've been writing on, or all three. No school so that everybody benefits. One of the things that I wrote a grant for was green screens for the classrooms and for the library so that kids could take their iPads and use the green screen technology just like they do is you know the weatherman and they could transfer themselves to different countries they could pretend like they were different people and so it really fit every single on subject matter and so the foundation has provided green screens for all three schools. We have the green screen captains where the kids can put the whole green screen cast and I and you disappear gloves we have mass and really unique way for kids to show what they know in their learning about some kind of content. So when I went to school. What I would do is I would have to do a worksheet write the teacher give me a worksheet or textbook, and our kids are doing things that are creative and innovative when I find it you know a lot of people say why would you teach seventh grade their starting to get mouthy and all the things people say when you teach seventh grade, but if you teach seventh grade in a way that is created and exciting kids. I am to read and they get into their learning increase in don't even realize how much they're doing and that's what the green screens have done for our kids. It allowed them to share what they know in ways other than worksheets and in the process really learn more and become more engaged with each other what the random act of kindness that the La Crosse public education foundation does not. So I'm in addition to my role as a teacher, I am a volunteer with Rhonda Longfellow middle school food pantry and so we have so many kids with so many me and I think that's another hidden secret that not everybody knows about you. There is no we have kids that come to school and they don't have food. They don't have afterschool sacks. One of the things that we had been aside right away that middle school kids don't have is some of your basic necessities that many parents just think everyone should have the random acts of kindness we've been able to make sure that all of our kids have underwear all of our kids. All of Our Girls Have Undergarments and so Usually It's Something That Most People Just Assume That Everybody Has Underwear, but They Don't Know What We Do without the Reading Acts of Kindness. What I Love about the La Crosse Public Education Foundation Is Their Sole Mission Is to Make School Better for Kids in the Car As a Teacher Who Has Called upon the Foundation Many Many Times I Just Can't Think Them More and I Appreciate so Much That Their Mission Is to Help All Is Not What Is Cost Public Schools Is a Workable Cost of Public Education for the Foundations of Hands-On Private Fundraising to Provide Grants to Teachers and Money for Rent the Backs of Crime Is to Address Students the Green off the Coast with Self-Esteem and Academic Success.
