The Pharyngula Challenge

Edit title

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. These materials will be extremely beneficial throughout the upcoming school year. The posters and the markers will help us create quality projects and allow us to present information to each other in order to create a productive and collaborative learning environment. The dissection guides and the timers will help me provide the instruction and the supplies necessary for accurate lab procedures. Your contribution will help me better meet the learning needs of my students. My students and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and your generosity!

Thank you so much! I never thought anyone would answer my request. Your donation will allow me to broaden the horizons of my class and will certainly enrich the curriculum at my school. Your good deeds will not go unreturned. We look forward to sharing pictures and letters with you after we return from summer vacation.

I want to thank you very much for your support. It means a lot to me and it is going to mean a lot to my students. It makes them feel very special that someone believes in them and their teacher. The skulls will help in my instruction in a fundamental way and moreover they will assist me in creating authentic assessments on what has been learned. Because the students are on summer vacation, I will be sending feedback in the fall. In the meantime I'm delighted to know that I can do my planning with the resources that I need.

Thanks so much.

Thank you so very much for funding the Creepy, Crawly, Leafy, and Furry grant. I know the new group of children I will be teaching when we return to school at the end of August will love every second of this science and literature material as well as the many hands on learnig that will take place. I appreciate all you are doing for my children, the children to come and others through your generous donation. Thank you so very much. Jane ”

Thank you so much for funding our dinosaur excavation. I am so excited to share these kits with the students. My second grade students will become real paleontologists by using these kits! Thank you for making this hands-on science experience possible. We look forward to sharing our experiences with you in the fall, after we return from summer vacation.

Thank you so very much for funding the touch tank for my science classes. Next year I will be teaching third through fifth grade science, and the touch tank can be used to teach classification standards to third graders and life science standards to fourth and fifth graders. Because we are located in the upstate area, my students are not familiar with the various phylla of organisms that inhabit the oceans. Your kind donation will make available to my students a valuable resource that they otherwise would not have had. We are grateful for the support offered to us through DonorsChoose.

Sincerely,

It is with deep appreciation that we accept your generous donation. Because of your help, a group of gifted first grade students from low-income backgrounds will be able to explore a variety of concepts in reading, math, science, writing, and the arts while studying prehistoric life. Each year, this theme unit allows more students to extend and apply their knowledge, and each year, I am more excited as we set off on a new learning adventure. Your generosity has enabled me to provide my students next year with opportunities which my previous students were not privy to because of budget limitations. Words cannot begin to describe how much your assistance will mean to my class. Because this unit covers a vast curriculum and summer is upon us, my students will be sending you feedback when they are in the heart of this study. I cannot wait to share all of their achievements in this endeavor with you.

Thank you again.

Sincerely

Thank you very much for supplying the live animals and labs for my Fall 2006 classes. The students will be delighted to be able to make classroom observations and study marine embryology. Thank you so very much for your generosity. I look forward to sending you pictures and sharing our experiences with you next fall. Again, thank you.

Best wishes,

Both my students and I greatly appreciate this opportunity to make biology come to life. We look forward to sharing our successes and excitement about the science of life with you as our new school year begins. The nets and magnifiers will be used for outdoor explorations, and the slide sets will be used during our physiology unit. Thanks”

Mr. T.

Thank you so much for funding our proposal! We study magnets and fossils in our curriculum in December. We look forward to sharing our experiences with you after we finish our project. .I know that these wonderful materials will excite my students. They will make a connection between real materials and the text. Again, thank you very much for your generosity.
