• Promoting Social-Emotional Health While Building Literacy Skills!

  Funded Oct 11, 2021

  Thank you so very much for supporting my "Promoting Social-Emotional Health While Building Literacy Skills!" project! My 3rd-grade class has grown and so has the need for more devices due to the constraints of social distancing. Thanks to you, more of my 3rd-grade students can participate with a device during center time, as we can no longer pair up. You have made a tremendous difference in terms of giving us the extra technology we desperately needed.”

  Thank you for funding my "Reading Flows With Flocabulary!" project request. The online vocabulary resource "Flocabulary" is an enhancement and an excellent aid for my 5th-grade Gifted and English Language Learners.

  They are guaranteed to be hooked on the program. Even though we do not have enough workstations to facilitate each group, they will triple up and take turns, so everyone will learn.

• Technology for All

  Funded May 4, 2021

  Thank you so very much for fully funding my "Technology For All!" project! We badly needed technology that was portable, wireless, and fast in order for my students to explore science and math in an interactive, engaging, and dynamic fashion. My students are not only learning how to be tech-savvy but are also learning STEM and STEAM concepts in innovative ways. We are now able to use the document viewer with the laptop for individual and group presentations while other fun learning activities are in progress, and this is very effective and time-saving.

  Thank you for supporting public schools!”

• Exploring Math through Technology!

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  Thank you ever so much for funding my "Exploring Math through Technology!" classroom project. My class size is big, so every extra tablet, Chromebook, and/or laptop goes a very long way.

  Since receiving these materials, I have now increased my center group's size and have more students working together, thanks to your kindness and generosity.

  Last week, my students completed their statewide assessments with confidence, quickly, and with ease, because there are sufficient workstations in my classroom.

  The extra Chromebooks made learning fun as the kids were engaged in all activities. Thank you for choosing this request and supporting public schools.”

• Chromebooks for Our Second Graders!

  Funded Dec 21, 2017

  Thank you so much for funding our "Chromebooks for our second-graders" request. We are so elated that we finally have two Chromebooks for our classroom.
