  • Experience American History - It's More Than Just The Facts!

    Funded Nov 26, 2007

    Please accept my sincere thanks for funding this exciting social studies project for my fifth grade students at PS 19R. I am simply thrilled to be able to provide my students with an "out of the book" social studies experience that I know they will truly enjoy, thanks to your kindness and generosity. Thank you for believing in my idea and providing me with the opportunity to enrich my students' experience in social studies and history. Your generous donation is greatly appreciated.

    Warmest regards,

  • The Shocking Simplicity of Electric Circuits

    Funded Jul 2, 2006

    Thank you so much for funding my proposal, The Shocking Simplicity of Electric Circuits, through the DonorsChoose program. I am overwhelmed and touched by your incredible generosity. The Electronic Snap Circuits will motivate and inspire my students to investigate circuitry, and provide them with the opportunity to construct their own knowledge about how circuits work.

    My sincere and heartfelt thanks to you for believing in my proposal and in my students.

    With warmest regards,

  • Games to Teach Students US Geography

    Funded Jan 3, 2006

    My sincerest and heartfelt thanks to you for funding these wonderful materials for my classroom at PS 19 located in Staten Island, New York. These materials will provide my students with a wonderful, fun, hands-on opportunity to expand their horizons beyond Staten Island, and learn about our wonderful country, its geography and how geography has affected the development and growth of our country. Geography is so much more than looking at maps in a book. Please know that you have provided me with an excellent opportunity to teach geography in an exciting and fun way and your generosity will go a long way with my students. Thank you for your support of this worthwhile project. I look forward to sharing the results of your generous donation in the near future.

    Warmest regards,

Math is omnipotent in real life; yet, many students fear the subject of math at school. Many times this "math phobia" turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy, where students come to believe that they simply cannot "do" math, further hindering their math abilities. Teachers need to address this "phobia." One way to do this is to help students learn how to do math the "write" way. During the 2008-2009 school year, I will be teaching a general education fifth grade class, in a Title 1 school, located in a culturally diverse neighborhood in New York. Many of our students (and their families) are English Language Learners ("ELLs").
