"Art"sploration
Funded May 10, 2015Thank you so much for your investment in this project. My students were able to experience a week long art camp during the middle of summer thanks to your generosity and partnership in this project. Without you, this camp would not have been possible. Students were immersed in sculpting, painting, printing, music, and more! During the course of this summer experience, students were engaged in a unique learning experience, that for many, was the only summer activity they were able to participate in. By having all the materials funded by you, we were able to offer this to students for free. The response was great and learning was experienced by all. I hope that you will partner with us again in the future.”

Case Closed
Funded Mar 29, 2015Thank you so much for partnering with my class and these incredible students. Every time a project is funded here on donorschoose.org, I am overwhelmed with the sense of community that each project brings. Knowing that there are people out there who care about what I am doing and the learning of my students is so very humbling. I cannot thank you enough for supplying us with these iPad covers. Several years ago we received covers, and they have had lots of use! These new covers will protect our iPads for years to come. Please stop by and visit my projects again soon!”

Make Us Smile In Class (MUSIC)
Funded Nov 17, 2014Music is the center of my classroom. For years, I have had a keyboard in my classroom, that has added to the fun and excitement that I provide to my students as they learn. Now, thanks to you, I have a full sized, electric piano, and it is amazing!!! My students and I gather around it at least once a day, sometimes 3-4 times, to sing and dance our way through the 2nd grade curriculum. It was the most fun during the holidays as we learned songs from around the world. I have written countless songs that teach our standards, and now, with this amazing instrument just steps away, I am confident I will write more. I cannot thank you enough for providing this resource to my students. They are absolutely the best, and they deserve the best. Thanks to you, they have it!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Gates Foundation Back To School and 6 other donors.Beardie Basics
Funded Dec 15, 2014For over a year, my students have raised a Bearded Dragon in our classroom. They feed him and clean his cage every day. I am so proud of how responsible they have become as caretakers for our pet, Spike. As you can imagine, caring for a pet costs money, sometimes, lots of it. Kids do not have lots of money, so we depend on generous partners like you to help sustain this ongoing, learning experience. The kids were so happy to receive the carpet, bulbs, dried veggies and crickets. Through your generosity, you provided us with enough carpet and bulbs for the rest of 2015, and enough food to last through spring break. Thank you so much for your generosity and partnership with my students. They say a big thank you too!”
