This classroom project was brought to life by Clark Foundation & Marriott Foundation and 5 other donors.I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream Technology!
Funded May 13, 2019Thank you so very much for bringing technology into my classroom. The laptops I received through Donor's Choose are going to be an actual game-changer in my classroom. Students will be able to use functional technology to access programs like Lexia which give them individualized learning experiences tailored to their own unique needs.
My students will also be able to spend more time using the technology than troubleshooting problems with them. I anticipate seeing growth for my students this year and for years to come thanks to your generosity!
We currently have a contest happening to try and reach their Lexia goals. Already, students are VERY excited about using our new technology to help them reach their goal.
I look forward to how these iPads will transform learning in my classroom this year and for years to come. THANK YOU!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Craig Newmark Philanthropies and 4 other donors."Growing Roses from the Concrete": A Place They Can Grow
Funded Aug 29, 2017Thank you so much for donating seat sacks and a document camera to my classroom. It has completely changed the way that my classroom operates. For one, everything is so much more organized! My students know exactly where to find their things which makes our day go by a lot smoother and gives us more time in the day to learn. Th document camera has made it easier and more effective to teach my kids that are unable to or have difficulties reading. We are able to go through things together that they would've struggled through alone.
When we first got the materials, the kids were so excited! They couldn't believe that someone was nice enough to get these things for us. They also felt very special that they would now have their own chair and place to keep all of their thing. One student commented on how "nice and neat" things were once the seat sacks were on. And I can't even describe to you the awe and excitement they felt when I hooked up the document camera for the first time. They thought it was the coolest thing! I showed them some of the different things it could so, such as split the screen into frames and have a still picture on one side with a video on the other. Once I really figure out how to use everything, we are really going to have some fun!
I'm thinking that sometime in the new year, we will use the document camera to make a short film by recording each student drawing their part of the story. I think that would be a fun way to end the year, and all of it was made possible by your generosity. So again, thank you!”

My First Classroom!!!
Funded Aug 25, 2015Thank you so much for the items that you contributed to my classroom! My students love the books and argue all of the time over who is going to read them. We also have a great time using the music speakers for transitions!
Being a first year teacher that was changing careers, your generosity made it possible for my scholars to be able get things that they otherwise would have gone without. These things were essential to my program and I can't express enough how much i appreciate all you have done!
When my students saw all the things that we received they were so excited and were very helpful with finding places for them in our classrooms. They couldn't believe that someone was so kind as to provide all of these things to make our learning environment a fun place.
So again, I would like to sincerely thank you for being a part of my success this year!”
