  • Hear My Voice from the Printing Station!

    Funded Sep 19, 2024

    I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your for your generous donation of the printer and microphone to our classroom. These tools have already made a tremendous difference in the learning experience for my students and in my ability to teach effectively.

    The printer has become an invaluable resource, allowing me to provide students with high-quality materials that support their learning in both languages. Whether colorful visuals for lessons or personalized resources that reflect their diverse backgrounds, having this printer has opened up new opportunities for creativity and engagement.

    Then the microphone has been equally transformative. It's helping my students build their confidence as they practice speaking and listening skills in both languages. From classroom presentations to language activities, it's encouraging them to find their voices and express themselves.

    Your kindness has not only enhanced our classroom environment but also inspired my students to dream bigger and work harder. Thank you for believing in our classroom and supporting our goals.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Hernandez

  • The Printed Word Meets Technology

    Funded May 4, 2022

    The technology is helping my students see and participate in classroom activities that have been enriched by it. We are a dual language class that did not have the tools necessary so experience videos and sound. The technology has allowed us to travel the world and learn about it. We have seen place that we are not able to see in person. We have learned about cultures around the world with greater joy!

    My students who have especially warmed to this new technology, and it has made our classroom lessons come to live. They used it to project on to the white board to solve the math lesson and share how they came to the answers.

    The Student use it everything to share some new knowledge or make their presentations.

  • Unmasked by Technology

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    Providing us with the technology we need to make this a great year will help them become lifelong learners and have the ability to compete in the 21st Century. The projector and the speaker will make a massive difference in my classroom by allowing more of my students to engage in online educational programs.

    It will become a tool for easy access to information, dictionaries, and many learning opportunities. The speaker can be synched with the projector so they can perform better at presentations and even give them a break when needed! My students love to see themselves on the big screen doing their presentations.

    Thanks for helping me get my students to understand and use technology with a purpose! Thank you so much!”

  • Reading Like A Snug Bug On A Rug!

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    I am writing this letter to thank you for your generous donation to my class. The Rug that was so needed in my class, found it way there thanks to you. My student and I are so happy and grateful that I am not sure that thank you is enough. We love to sit on the rug to read and share ideas. The rug has made the room cozy and beautiful. I believe that children deserve the best environment for their learning and YOU have that just that! My children feel that they are the luckiest kids on the planet. We use the rug all day long. In the morning we work in pairs to solve the math problems. My students love independent reading time, because at that time they can go and sit at the rug to read. And Any time a child wants to read, well that is a wonderful thing to see. I try to make my classroom a home for my students, so they will feel safe and loved. Thank you for helping me by donating the rug, which adds a layer of comfort and beauty.

    So on behalf of my students present and future-Thank you, Gracias, Dank, Natick,Merci, and Grazie.

    Sincerely,”

  • Moving Forward With Technology

    Funded Jan 25, 2012

    Dear donors,

    This letter is a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom. The Sony tablet that you so generously donated has made a world of difference in our class. The tablet has helped my students every single day. We use it to help with our research projects. The children love

    it, because they get a chance to use newer technology.

    Our school is facing horrible budget shortfall, therefore without your generous help, my students would never have had the opportunity to get this new technology. We are living in a world were technology seems to change every minute. My students needed this vidal resource to give them

    a hands-on expirence with new technology.

    I thank you and my students thank you!

My 5th grade students are a wonderful group of curious students who love anything having to do with technology. They are from a low socioeconomic background and many are English Language Learners. Many of my students do not have access to technology at home so they are greatly appreciative of the exposure we provide for them at school.
