Let's PRINT It Out!
Funded Dec 25, 2021We would like to thank you for our science printer!! The students were able to print out their scientific explanations and display their work on the bulletin board for all to see. Also the students were able to complete their science fair boards! Students were able to print out their scientific investigation data and information about their investigation.
The students were extremely excited to be able to print out their science investigations and explanations to display. Without the printer they were not able to. Students were also able to create digital models using an online simulation and then able to print out their model to help explain their thinking.
This printer has helped my 4th and 5th graders be more excited about producing good quality work to share with everyone. We thank you so much for all your donations!”

Funded Jan 1, 2019Thank you so much for this very generous donation! The "Science on the GO! READY! SET! EXPERIMENT!" is reaching all my 4th and 5th grade students! With this cart I am able to bring ALL our science materials needed to teach science in the classroom. The other day I was thinking to myself when I was with my 5th grade class how would I have brought all these 21 different substances to them so they would understand what properties are. This has been such a huge help!
When my students first saw me wheel in the cart they became super excited! You had to see their faces. Their eyes opened wide and their mouth dropped open! They were super excited for science. They knew there were materials ready for them to use.
Currently in 5th grade we are learning about food science. One of our first experiments is to observe three different types of mixtures and write down their properties. They had to figure out what ingredients were in the mixtures. The students absolutely loved figuring out the properties of the mixtures. Our next experiment is separating food coloring using chromatography paper. I honestly wonder to myself if I did not have this cart what I would have done? There are so many materials I need to bring to my students and there is no way I could carry it all. In 4th grade we reviewing key concepts they have learned in previous years.
My 4th graders will be planting seeds and watching plants grow. They will need to identify the plants parts and their functions. My 4th graders love reviewing and getting hands on with each lesson.
I just wanted to say thank you again! This has been such a huge help! My students also say "THANK YOU!" They are enjoying science and love seeing me push into their classroom with all our science materials!”

Funded Oct 28, 2013My class and I wanted to give you a great BIG THANK YOU for the rugs! My students were so excited for our new rugs to arrive. They kept asking me when it was coming. When it finally arrived it was the end of the day and they saw it outside our room. They were so excited. The next day when they arrived at school they immediately went right in the classroom. Their mouths were open. They love the rugs! They think it is awesome! They love sitting on both rugs!
My students use our rugs every day. The smaller rug is in the back of the class. The students use that rug for math center time or reading with a partner. A group will sit on the circle rug and work on that day's activity. The students like moving around the class. They do not want to always sit at their desks. This rug is a great addition to our room. The big rug is used when we are learning new concepts. I like having my students as close to me as possible when I am teaching something new. The rug provides enough room that my students can sit comfortably. Everyone who comes in my room always comments on the rug, saying how beautiful and lovely it is!
This project boosted my teaching by not having to worry that my students were uncomfortable sitting on the floor. I honestly did not like it. Before the rug my students would complain that the floor was cold or too hard. It made me feel awful for them. But I needed my students close to me as I taught something new. Now I can teach without worry because they are comfortable. It boosted my students learning because now they do not complain. They have a beautiful rug that they know was donated by great people. They love coming to the rug and learning! My students take great care of the rugs because they know how it is without having a rug to now having a rug. They are very appreciative of this donation!
Thank you all again for our class rugs! It has warmed my heart to see great people in this world that would help children have a better education.”
