  • Marker Boards for Sixth Grade Immigrant Students

    Funded Apr 7, 2006

    Thank you SO much for funding the marker boards for my students. This will be something really different and fun for them. It will take the pressure off having to speak in front of the group in order to answer a question and will help me ensure that all students are on the same page. They will be so excited to receive something new like this. I don't think they've ever had anything similar to these individual marker boards. These will definitely be something I will use for years to come. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Sincerely,

    Thank you SO much for funding the Focus on Reading Strategies books for my 6th graders! I have been dying for a reading and writing workbook such as this one to work on specific English skills, and I am absolutely thrilled to be receiving it. I am very touched by your generosity in funding this proposal for this class. Teaching is not an easy job, but it has just been made easier and more enjoyable thanks to your donation. I really can't thank you enough. I am so excited about these books, and I know my students will be too. They are the best students in the world, and they deserve the best books. Thanks to you, it will be possible to delve into these books this year and in the years to come. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  • No More Lost Data for My Sixth Graders!

    Funded Mar 29, 2006

    Thank you SO much for funding the USB micro drive for my sixth grade class! I am so excited to be getting this technology into my room, so that the students can save their work without any more problems. It is really frustrating to have access to computers that are unable to properly save and print their work, and this will help us out so much. It is really touching to me that you would anonymously donate to our class. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  • Bookmaking Fun for 6th Grade Immigrant Students

    Funded Jan 27, 2006

    Thank you SO very much for funding my bookmaking project! This project will be so much fun for my students because it combines art with English, and it will be something for them to keep and use for the rest of the school year and beyond. My students have never seen art supplies like this before, as they don't have the resources to purchase things like this for themselves. I can't wait to receive these materials. I am so ecstatic, and I know my students will be too when they see the fabulous new art supplies and their new notebooks. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart”
