• Stop! Collaborate and Listen

  Funded Sep 3, 2024

  Our class is so grateful for the support you showed to us. We know that without donors like you we would not receive the items we did. Our appreciation goes beyond just the items, but also for your kindness. We love learning and growing together and you have helped us do that even more.

  We have started small groups at the table and have also started our first mini novel study with The Wild Robot books. Did you know there is a movie out about this book too? Our plan is to read the book then hopefully go watch the movie together after we have finished. We are so excited.

  Again we thank you a million times over for caring about education.”

• High Five for Tech

  Funded Oct 23, 2019

  This iPad and keyboard made a huge difference in my teaching last year. I used these tools to help teach whole class and teach small groups. We were able to view the iPad and work together to add details to the project we were working on. My students also enjoyed using the keypad to type their ideas into our learning hub and see them displayed on our big screen. This year, with distance learning, I have used the iPad to display what my students see like papers, a whiteboard, projects, etc. It has helped so much in our virtual meetings. Thank you for helping out the future and for allowing me to teach easier in these difficult times.”

• Sit in Style and Play!

  Funded May 10, 2018

  I'm sorry this letter has taken so long to reach the donors, but we are so very appreciative of the donation we had received. We use the resources daily as the Kore chairs have replaced all the standard school chairs. When my students first walked in and the new seating they were so excited to be able to try something new! When they realized the chairs "wobbled" they immediately sat down in them to check them out. We went over the new seating rules and from then on out, they were able to use the flexible seating correctly.

  The Hot Wheels Osmo game was a huge hit. I have a group of competitive boys and they immediately saw this as a way to code and compete against each other. I loved seeing how excited they were to learn through tech. We learned all about how Osmo allows them to be creative, work together, and experience coding through tech.

  My hope is to continue to see joy and progress throughout the years with these items. Not only were they used this year, but they will be used for years to come.”

• Tech to Learn!

  Funded Mar 30, 2017

  Thank you so much for your generous contributions. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the amount of support that was shown to help support my classroom. Technology is such an important part of education and provides so many useful resources for students of all academic levels. I look forward to sharing these items with my current class and future classes. Thank you again!”

• Robots and Osmo!

  Funded Jun 10, 2016

  Dear Donors,

  I cannot begin to describe how much of a difference your donations have helped to improve my classroom. My students are constantly asking to use the Osmo system because they enjoy the differentiated learning that the experience. They don't have to sit and listen to a teacher teach, they get to learn through a hands on technology experience. By providing this experience to them, I can see such a passion for learning to spell new words, to create tangram pictures, and to solve number problems.

  As a teacher, I can see that my students are living a whole new learning experience this year. Instead of the worksheet teaching, they are able to work independently and with a partner to solve problems. It gives them an opportunity to have a higher level thinking, increased rigor, experience. I love watching their faces light up when they have learned to solve a new math problem or spell a word that they have been struggling in their writing with. It not only gives me satisfaction knowing that they have learned something new, but I can see how satisfied they are with themselves.

  If it were not for donors helping me find this project, I would not have been able to provide my students with the ability to explore the world of Osmo or learn coding through an interactive robot. I look forward to many years of classroom use with both of these technology pieces.”

• Miss R's Class Rocks!

  Funded Jun 10, 2015

  I cannot begin to express my thanks for the classroom materials you helped me to purchase. They are a great addition to our learning and classroom experience. Without your generous donations I would not have been able to provide these valuable resources for my students.

  My class is constantly asking to listen to books on the iPads, they love the website called Bookflix. I had a student yesterday say, "Miss Roth, I've never used an iPad because my parents have no money for me." It really hits home that some of these kids would never be able to use tools like the iPad if it weren't for school. I'm so lucky that I can share these iPads with her to help in her learning. I also love watching my students read all the books I was able to purchase. Some of them read and read and read because they are so interested in the books that are provided to them. Once again, this is possible because of you.

  We are using these resources daily, mostly in our Daily 5 block. Daily 5 is a rotation around the room where students move into different groups for learning. We have a reading area, iPad area, making words area, etc. This is great for them because they are able to use hands on materials to aid in their learning. Of course, they always fight over who gets to start at the iPad center. : )

  I am forever grateful for all of your kind donations. I could sit here all day and write about how valuable the materials are to my students, but then it would get too boring for you to read. So thank you, thank you, thank you from myself and my 1st grade class of learning rockstars!”
