Education budget woes felt throughout Florida are preventing many teachers from obtaining necessary science equipment, thus crippling them at a time when a brand new set of state science standards is demanding that they give students more in-depth science instruction.
Let's help these teachers out, and let's get Florida students excited about science!
Thank you so much for funding my vertebrate show and tell project for ALL of my biology students. I was so surprised when I received the email from DonorsChoose.org that my project had been funded, as I knew that the deadline was approaching, and I was beginning to give up hope. As a result of substantial budget cuts across our state, schools & educators are struggling to provide the best quality education to our students with little or no funding for enrichment activities like this project. I am so excited and bubbling with anticipation at the thought of showing these off to my students!! I can't wait to see their reactions to the animals when they see them and TOUCH them! The unspoken but underlying motto in our county this year seems to be "more with less" (teachers are asked to do more and more with fewer resources). Thank you so much for allowing my students to have this learning opportunity. Your gift is very much appreciated and will make the difference in the education of many students for a long time. Thank you for giving a teacher hope and an avenue for enabling her students to have enriching educational experiences that they would not have otherwise experienced. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated. Warmest regards, Luci”
I am so excited!! You have no idea how great this makes me feel that someone cares enough to donate to my classroom so we can share this fantastic literature and learn so much more about science. I can't wait to get started on my experimental lessons to go along with this book as read about Phineas and his scientific experiments from his refrigerator to his volcano. You are going to make my kids laugh daily with this fabulous book. They will be inspired to create extraordinary science projects and writing that is filled with sensory detail. Thank you bunches!!”
Thank you so much for your support! I am so excited to receive news that Magnetic has been funded!
I can't wait to let students explore this resource. Allowing students the opportunity to manipulate and explore concepts rather than just reading about them will help tremendously in retention of the materials!
You are not only helping extend the learning of students this year, but for years to come! Thank you again for your support!”
A sincere thank you for your generosity! My students are hungry for opportunities and you have provided the resources to help them expand their thinking. My students and I appreciate the funding and thoughtfulness that you have shown for their educational experiences. Thank you so much! My students look forward to expressing their thanks in letters and photo's!
I am simply speechless! This is the first time I've ever used Donors Choose and I'm so excited to see that it works. Thank you so very much for your kindness. This is going to mean a great deal to my students. Your gift will be a treasured addition to my science lessons”
Thank you so much for funding my class project! My students will know how to follow safety procedures during science lab time. In the past it was simply mentioned, but could not be implemented. My students and I truly appreciate the difference you have made in our classroom today, which will also impact future students. Thank you again”
Thank you so much for supporting my proposal "May The Force Be With Us". We will use this equipment to do lab activities involving forces. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. I know my students will be very thankful. Your support encourages me as a teacher. Thank you.
