Mid-Year Class Supplies Restock
Funded Jan 3, 2024Thanks to generous donations, our classroom has undergone significant improvements. With additions like pencil boxes, students are enhancing their responsibility and organization skills by creating personalized learning portfolios. They are actively engaged in lessons, particularly with the use of headphones that allow them to delve deeper into multimedia content, enhancing the online learning experience. Our goal is to introduce more tools to aid in time management and transitioning between subjects, preparing them for the challenges of third grade. These donations are not just material items; they are instrumental in equipping our students with essential life skills.
Through the collaborative efforts of our donors and teachers, the learning environment has become more enjoyable and interactive. The new resources have sparked enthusiasm for learning and empowered students to take ownership of their education. They are not only mastering academic subjects but also learning valuable organizational skills and accountability.
The incorporation of headphones and other resources has significantly enriched online learning, capturing the students' interest and engagement. Our focus moving forward is on teaching effective time management and seamless topic transitioning, laying a strong foundation for their current and future success. These donations go beyond providing materials; they are imparting enduring skills that will benefit our students in the long run. Our mission is to prepare them not just for academic success but for life challenges as well.
Your support means the world to us. We deeply appreciate your generosity and kindness, which have not gone unnoticed. Your encouragement enables us to continue making a positive impact and striving towards our objectives. Thank you sincerely for your unwavering support and dedication.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 11 other donors.Tech for Everyone!
Funded Dec 1, 2020Thanks to your donations, all of our second graders are equipped with an iPad that travels between school and home. These devices were pivotal to our students as schools across the world embed technology into learning. Whether our students are developing their reading, writing, or math skills, technology allows us to accommodate every learning style and need in the classroom.
Access to learning application software supports co-learning opportunities with peers who are learning remotely while building technology skills, overall dexterity, and so much more! Students who are English Language Learners now have access to programs that are tailored to their individual language needs. Students who are developing their fine motor skills are able to type or use text-to-speech programs to support their writing. Our students were able to use programs such as Flipgrid, Pear Deck, and Google apps for research essays, presentations, science projects, and math reports. This technology also provided parents more access to their students' learning, growth and everyday experiences in school.
Our students are very grateful for your support in their learning. They are now equipped with the tools to co-creators of their curriculum and take more ownership of their learning.”

Funded Sep 22, 2015One day during math, our school aide came to drop of multiple boxes to our class. My students were immediately intrigued and bombarded my co-teacher and I with questions about what was in the boxes. You cannot image how excited all my learners were when we opened our secret gifts as a class! As soon as I opened the supply caddies, the students set them up based on their table colors.
The resources you donated to our classroom have helped us provided individualized activities for our students in Math and Word Study. The All-Purpose Organizer from Lakeshore allows us to store word study centers for our students based on their phonemic awareness. During our Word Study block, our students are able to independently retrieve their center bins, transition to their work area and return them without any help form a teacher. The Seville 10 Drawer Organizer Cart holds our Math toolboxes with the manipulatives the students can use for addition and subtraction. If a student is having a difficult time adding and subtracting abstractly, they know exactly where to look for the tools that can help them.
After receiving these materials, our classroom has changed so much. Our students are showing more initiative to keep our class clean by putting everything in its appropriate place. We have a team of students who like to stay inside to organize during recess. It has shown what something so great can do to impact the learning and character of a child.
My students couldn't believe that some of the teachers at our school and even some complete strangers bought things for their classroom to help them be successful. We all thank you for making this difference in our classroom. I am so grateful for your generosity.”
