  • An Apple to Save the Environment

    Funded Sep 2, 2024

    On behalf of my class, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of a laptop to our classroom.

    The laptop has already become an invaluable tool for enhancing our learning environment. It has provided students with access to interactive lessons, digital resources, and tools to develop their technology skills—skills that are increasingly vital in today's world. Whether it's researching for projects, honing math and reading abilities through educational software, or learning coding basics, this laptop is opening doors of opportunity for every student in the classroom.

    Thank you again for your thoughtful contribution. It is because of donors like you that we are able to offer a richer, more engaging learning experience. If you'd like, we'd be thrilled to keep you updated on how the laptop is benefiting our students throughout the school year.”

    With gratitude,

  • Engineering Flexible Seats

    Funded Oct 30, 2023

    Thank you for your donation to my second grade classroom. The students are happy to have colorful and comfy new seats. It gives them the opportunity to stretch and get out of their chairs. Students like sitting and laying on the floor while completing different learning activities such as independent reading or online learning.

    I am able to work with a small group to practice phonemic awareness or fluency practice on the rug. The new floor cushions and rug squares have made their learning time special!!”

  • Learning Spaces

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generosity! The students couldn't wait to unwrap and try out a floor cushion. They were so excited to use the colorful and comfy cushions during independent work time. They also use them while working on online lessons and as extra seating, since 23 students don't fit on the classroom rug.

    The rug squares will be very convenient when we have outdoor assemblies so they can have a soft clean spot to sit on.

    The students have been very responsible with their new floor seats, stacking them up nicely after every use. We are so grateful for your help in creating a comfortable and welcoming learning space!!”

  • Welcoming the Lunar New Year

    Funded Jan 20, 2023

    Throughout the school year, my amazing student helpers take turns keeping our classroom clean using various cleaning tools such as sweepers, brooms, and dusters. Before your donation, we had to use anti-bacterial wipes and paper towels to spot clean the floor, while a microfiber towel served as our "mop" for accidental spills or rainy days.

    Thanks to your generous donation, we now have a fancy new iRobot mop to help us keep everything clean and tidy. Our students have been so excited to use this cool piece of technology that they've started putting their chairs up on the tables to make cleaning even easier! They take pride in keeping their learning environment clean and are always eager to sweep the floors and pick up any trash. It's so great to see them taking responsibility for their space and feeling a sense of accomplishment!”

  • Art Is Essential

    Funded May 3, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. Our students are so excited to learn new art skills. We are so happy to have these watercolors to provide students with Art Fridays.

    Art provides my students with an opportunity to be creative and express themselves. It is a fun and relaxing break at the end of the school week. My students look forward to art time in class and are inspired to continue expanding their art skills throughout the year.

    Thank you so much for the kindness you showed to our class.”

  • Organized and Ready to Learn

    Funded Jul 18, 2022

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My class was so excited about these wonderful folders. I was able to pass out all the folders the first day of school to each student and they, and I, were so grateful for these sturdy folders. They are especially excited about the clear pockets in the front and back. They will be able to have reference sheets to help the students with writing and math. We inserted a place value chart and are able to write on it with a dry erase marker, instant whiteboard!

    I truly appreciate your generous donation to help get our students these folders that will last the entire school year. We really can't thank you enough for making sure our students have the supplies they need to keep their papers and homework together. The Chapman staff is so happy to know that we have families who are supporting all that we do for our students.”

The set of five Chromebooks will help my students become more skilled at accessing academic content online and for submitting assignments and completing tests. Not only will they be better prepared form middle school and high school but for college and future careers where everything is done online. Twenty first century skills requires an array of technological knowledge which can only be gained through numerous exposures and practice with different systems. That is why my students need quality learning opportunities that incorporate the use of technology through online reading programs, interactive math games, access to google classroom and docs to complete online assignments and writing tasks. Many students are still learning word-processing skills and having a set of chrome books in class will allow them take the time to edit and revise and publish a digital document. Allowing students to become familiar with learning technology will allow them to continue to grow as learners and have continued success in school and their future careers.
