TK Story Crafting With Technology!
Funded Oct 24, 2016My students utilize technology to improve their phonemic awareness, letter recognition, vocabulary development, and technology skills. Utilization of technology is key in providing a well balanced, rigorous curriculum. By having access to technology, my students are able to excel on an individual basis. They enjoy the interactive programs, and are actively engaged while learning.
Technology is expensive. with Donor's Choose donations, my classroom access to technology is further enhanced each and every year. I am extremely grateful for the generous donations, and access to technology that Donor's Choose provides.”

Building LIteracy in TK one IPAD at a Time!
Funded Oct 9, 2015Thank you so much for the generous donation of an IPad. My students have been utilizing this technology on a daily basis. They have been using it for games, learning apps, and even taking pictures of each other. The photos used on this project were all shot by students using an iPad. My class works daily with this technology logging their progress online to provide feedback for me, their teacher. We, as a class, are truly appreciative of your commitment to education and generosity. My students have made tremendous progress towards becoming independent readers. Thank you for making an investment in our students.”

Help 5th Grade Rock!
Funded Sep 15, 2014Thank you so very much for your generous donation. My class literally jumped up and down when I announced that we had been funded. Our class is so excited to utilize our technology that will help further our access to music. We love playing music and learning new songs to play. Our classroom band is getting better each and every day. Having our own Mac Book Pro, I Pod and
I Pad makes hearing new songs, learning new tabs, and recording our performances so great. We have shared our videos through social media and everyone loves them. The parents are shocked at how amazing this whole program is. It is an amazing gift that your company's generosity has shared with the students in fifth grade, and we thank you again for your support of the arts!”

Keeping the Arts Alive!
Funded Oct 29, 2013Room 6 is ecstatic! We danced the "two step" yesterday for the first time with our new Bose CD system, and the students were all shocked that even outside, we could all hear the music. Transitioning from one song or CD to the next was so easy that we were able to spend more time dancing, instead of waiting. The clarity and tone is amazing and it makes dancing all the more enjoyable. We all are so grateful for your generous donation. Our weekly dance time is enhanced by the beautiful gift you provided our class. We definitely look forward to many more opportunities to listen to music, and learn new dances. Thanks for adding that little bounce in our step!”
