  • Printer Help

    Funded Sep 11, 2021

    I teach fourth grade at a diverse school in New York. My students come from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and speak many different languages.

    My classroom has not had a printer since COVID has begun. The Learning Bridges program came in and broke the printer that my students used all the time to print their projects, pictures, etc. to share with other students and their families. Without having a printer in my room it limited what my students were able to produce.

    Thanks to your donation the printer is used daily (multiple times a day) to print worksheets, reports, etc for both in class use as well as homework. It is also useful in that we use it for my students to print their projects and other things to share with their classmates and families.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pensabene

  • Document Camera Fun

    Funded Dec 28, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donation to provide a document camera for my students, as well as ink for our printers. My students are teach fourth graders at a diverse school in New York. The students come from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and speak many different language.

    The printer in my classroom has not had a printer ink since COVID has begun. Through your donations we were able to receive ink for the printer that the students use to print their projects, pictures, etc. They then use these printed projects to share with other students and their families.

    Thanks to your donations we also received a document camera. The document camera allows the students to present their completed work to the rest of the class. It also allows me to display lessons to the entire class at one time to keep the students actively engaged in the lesson.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pensabene

My students need a variety of books that they can borrow to take home each evening so that everyone has something to read. This project will help purchase these books in a range of topics and levels so that my students have lots of choices every day. I want to provide my students with every opportunity to succeed. Offering books for them will help them improve academically and close the gap between students who have books at home and those who don't. It will allow my students to gain experience and a love for reading. With the classroom library, my students will be able to read at school and at home. As a result, my students will get to see their reading skills begin and continue to improve. Currently, I do not have a library in my classroom for my students. My students have varied reading abilities that range from low grade level to well-below the current grade level. The most important thing for my students to have is their own classroom library consisting of books that meet their current and future abilities.
