Native American Weaving
Funded Jan 5, 2020Thanks for supporting the learning in my classroom. Enriching the students hands on learning weaving is tremendous. The students can get an idea of what it takes to create woven brackets will also help with kindness since they will be giving a bracelet to others. Thanks again for your kindness to my students”

Cinder's Life ~ Many Cultures ~ Same Story
Funded Sep 15, 2014I am very thankful for the gift to assist my students in seeing and learning that cultures have more in common then we think. The students were able to read and find the similarities and differences in the different stories of Cinderella. The students liked reading about the point of view of the Step-sisters.
With the new common core standards emphasis on students forming an opinion and having evidence to prove that point, this project was amazing. The students then wrote their story. I uploaded a taste of the product they wrote and drew.
My students said the books are entertaining, fun, and they helped inspire them to write their own stories.”

I Myself Mandalas
Funded Mar 29, 2011It has been my honor to watch my students learn to express themselves. When my students discover, try things out, and build on their learning; this is education for me. As a teacher I have seen my students 'make do' with whatever supplies, we can get. (I went a store and for $0.99 purchased sidewalk chalk.) Having these Art Pastels is amazing.
Their confidence level in drawing was so raised so high, with the 'real' art materials. The students wrote on the experience and their comments were: how easy it was to use the pastels, these pastels make drawing fun and I can 'really' draw – I'm a Artist.
The delight in my students' eyes is the best feeling ~ having my students' enjoy themselves is fulfilling. You all help ~ thanks for you for your generosity. ”
