We grow butterflies in our garden!
Funded Jan 3, 2006Thank you so much for this wonderful gift! The materials that you have purchased for not only my students, but for the entire 2nd grade, will provide a wonderful and memorable learning experience for the children. Students enjoy learning about the Earth and about animals, and I know that they will love having butterflies in their care. Thanks again for this most valuable gift.
Also, please note that since we will be caring for and releasing the butterflies in the late spring, I have set the feedback due date for June 30, 2006. I think that you will really enjoy seeing photos of the students releasing the butterflies in the garden. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,

A Trip in Time on the Lower East Side
Funded Nov 16, 2005Thank you so much for this fantastic gift! Just today I took the class on a trip to the NY Transit Museum, and I know that some parents had trouble paying the museum fee. I was beginning to worry about what I should do about the Lower East Side Tenement Museum trip, since I know that the cost would be a concern for parents. Thanks for allowing this trip to actually happen! I know that it will be a meaningful and memorable experience for my students.
Best Regards,
