  • Resources for Transition Back to School

    Funded Oct 14, 2020

    Thank you to college board for allowing me to work and provided me with a code for the ability to purchase these supplies for my students. I’m thankful to add these books to my classroom and can’t wait to see the smiling faces on my students very soon!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Walters

  • Autumn 2020

    Funded Aug 29, 2020

    Thank you so much for providing the materials I need to make a comfy classroom during this strange virtual time. Everything will be put to good use between now and when the kids arrive back physically in the building. I am very grateful for your help and thank you again!”

  • The New Classroom

    Funded May 20, 2020

    There are not enough words to express my joy, gratitude, and thanks for your generous donations to my class project. My students and I are so very appreciative of your support for education and creative, hands-on techniques for learning. We are looking forward to receiving these items as we continue to learn in new ways!”

  • Reading Time

    Funded Mar 13, 2020

    Thank you to myself for funding this program :) but seriously, it's nice to have received promo codes for my work done with the AP Learning Partners Program, specifically Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition. I know these resources will help my students continue to explore new genres and fall in love with reading.”

  • Let's Be Frank

    Funded Dec 9, 2019

    We have had fun looking at Frankstein through the eyes of a child. The board book was a great resource for inspiration, and the art supplies are making this process fun. The impact of having these resources in our classroom has been overwhelming and amazing. The students were so shocked and amazed that they were being given such an awesome opportunity.

    The students have been using the supplies to practice their drawing skills as well as taking photos and editing them on our school-wide laptops, creating a digital book.

    It has encouraged me to try new projects with my students and explore the technology part of art. From the bottom of my heart I thank each and every one of you for your generosity!"”

  • Thinking Outside the Box

    Funded Nov 8, 2019

    My students responses have been overwhelmingly positive! Thank you so much for giving them the gift of kindness through surprise, which some of them have not ever experienced in their lifetime.

    Using these resources and having my students examine the world through another point of view not only prepares them for the exam at the end of the year, but also life in general.

    Reading in my classroom is a huge part of the students day. Technology has taken over and many do not find the time to read at home. By allowing some good old fashioned silent reading time, I've been able to catch their attention and leave them wanting to look at a book more so than their phones.

    Thank so very much!”

  • Classroom Comfort

    Funded Aug 18, 2019

    My students are very appreciative for these new resources. The mornings are busy with students stopping by to chat and indulge in tea or hot chocolate. When my lower level students do particularly well on an assignment we have a mini celebration. Lastly, my AP students have a coffee talk after every unit where we take a moment to reflect on our work over a cup of joe.

    Seeing the upgraded materials really made their day. The students have also become protective of our new materials to make sure they last all year and longer!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Walters

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 2 other donors.
For this project I am choosing Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This novel focuses on race, love, and identity in a post 9/11 world. There is no specific textbook for AP Literature, so I piecemeal my curriculum from district owned novels and plays, while culling the internet for released poetry to utilize as well. My AP Literature students definitely add to class discussion regardless of the topic at hand, however I'd like to link the parallels in a newer novel to their every day lives. I believe this book can relate to many different types of students in today's society.
