21st Century Classroom!
Funded Aug 8, 2012I want to say thank you so much for your donation of 2 iTouches to our classroom. It was so very generous of you! My students use them every day to enhance their learning experience. They watch videos about science topics, they play applications that help them practice spelling and reading, they play word games, and they use them to record themselves reading so that they can work on their fluency. I love hearing the students talking about playing the educational games and watching science videos. They are learning so much! Your generosity is helping them to become stronger readers and scientists.
Thank you for being such a wonderful example of giving and caring. The students in my class are learning about sharing, caring, and taking care of others from your example. Thank you for this opportunity to help them learn these skills.
The students in my classroom often do not have the chance to use this kind of technology. Donors like you make it possible for them to have experiences and to learn in new and exciting ways. Thank you so much for caring about my students and wanting to make their educational experience better.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Hoover
Touch the Future!
Funded Jul 25, 2012I want to say thank you again for your very generous donation of 3 iTouches to our classroom. My students use them every day in so many ways. They watch videos about science topics, they play applications that help them practice spelling and reading, they play word games, and they use them to record themselves reading so that they can work on their fluency. I love hearing the students talking excitedly about playing educational games and watching science videos. All of my students are learning and reinforcing concepts that will help them become better readers and writers.
Being able to explain that a donor chose our classroom to give to has been a great opportunity as well. The students are excited about finding ways to donate in our school and community after hearing of your example.
The students in my classroom often do not have the same opportunities as other children their age. Donors like you make it possible for them to have experiences and to learn in new and exciting ways. Thank you so much for caring about my students and wanting to make their educational experience better.”
With gratitude,

Ignite a Spark that Fuels the Fire in the Future!
Funded Jul 19, 2012I would like to say thank you very much for donating 3 Nook readers and cases to my classroom. These Nooks have opened up so many opportunities that my three classes would not get otherwise. They are able to read from many different genres and to explore different types of books- all with the touch of a button.
There are many ways we use the Nooks in our classroom. The students use the Nooks during independent reading time. As a teacher, it is so wonderful to hear the students begging to use them because they are so excited to finish their book. They also use them for literature circles. The students are able to choose many more book titles since there is a whole database of books. Many of the groups have already read several books. In addition, these Nooks have truly helped to spark interest in many of the students that struggle with reading. It is a new and exciting way for them to experience a book.
As we move more into the 21st century, the use of technology is becoming vital. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to experience some of that technology.
You are truly making a difference in education. Thank you for being so generous.”
