Empowering Readers and Writers Through Literature
Funded Aug 23, 2015From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you for donating to my classroom! There is nothing I love more that introducing kids to new and exciting books. After attending a four day literacy conference this summer, my wishlist was way bigger than my wallet. Your generosity has crossed off every single book I wasn't able to purchase myself.
I am very excited to receive these books and use them in my kindergarten classroom to get students excited about reading and writing. Once again, I say thank you for thinking of me and my classroom. Your support and generosity means more to me than you will ever realize.”

Chromebook for Kids!
Funded Oct 4, 2014Thank you so much for choosing to fund our Donor's Choose project. I can't express how grateful I am for your generosity. The look on my students faces when I told them that we received a new Chromebook for our classroom was priceless. There was even a couple of fist pumps!
My students are using this Chromebook during math and literacy centers to complete computer based activities such as Raz-Kids and XtraMath. They are so excited when it is their turn to use the Chromebook and it makes an activity that they do on a daily basis, fun and exciting all over again. I can't wait for them to start writing and publishing soon!
This Chromebook has been a blessing to our classroom. I have 22 kids in my class and only 4 computers, so students were having to share a computer and were not able to compete their own work. Now with the Chromebook, each student in a center group gets to complete his/her own assignment.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you, not only for funding my project, but for valuing education and teachers!”

Teaching Through Tablets
Funded Sep 5, 2013Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. I wish you could have been here to hear the students erupt in cheers when Mr. Dale delivered our tablet. I have never seen students so excited. We have already put the tablet to good use. Students have taken turns using the tablet as an e-reader to read stories and check for comprehension. I look forward to using the tablet more in the future. Thank you so much for helping me get a better understanding for what my students are achieving, while making learning fun for them. Your generosity is appreciated more than you know!”

Read Until Your Heart is Content
Funded Oct 28, 2010Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. The excitement in my student's faces when they saw there new set of leveled books was priceless. It can be so frustrating teaching children to read when they are five years old because the books they want to read are too hard and the books at their level are not appealing.
You provided priceless, loved books that my students will enjoy for years to come, that they can read! I have even had parents compliment the books that I have sent home with the students. It is great to see the kids light up with excitement about reading a book.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for providing my students with the desire to learn to read. They are all so excited to move up to the next level so they can get a new book. Thank you for caring about education!”

"Center"ed on Success
Funded May 20, 2010I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to care about education. With schools being under funded, sometimes the things we need to teach our children are overlooked. The materials I received through this grant have already made a big impact in my classroom. The students absolutely love the counting mats and manipulatives. They have made center time fun and educational for the children. The counting mats are also being used for interventions with kids who aren't quite where they need to be right now. In the future the making word centers will also be invaluable to my class. Having hands-on materials instead of paper and pencil activities make all the difference in the world. Your donations are making kindergarten fun and exciting. the smiles on my student's faces when they saw our new math centers was priceless!
Thanks again for donating to my classroom. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated. ”
