  • Life Essentials to Better Our Learning!

    Funded Feb 28, 2019

    Thank you so much for thinking of my students! Before now, I would have students show up to school hungry, or become hungry midway through the day. With your generosity, I am able to provide these students with snack choices or breakfast choices so that they will perform their best throughout the entire day. Students who are hungry can't be expected to learn with the same quality as a student who has been fed. I want to thank you for reaching above and beyond in order to help my students. Happy Holidays!”

  • I Like Good Books and I Cannot Lie

    Funded Dec 22, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donations for my Developmental Reading Assessment kit! Not only has it changed how I teach, but it has changed how my students read as well! I'm able to accurately assess their reading level and analyze their reading habits in order to best help them. I can also give students books that are on their exact level so that they are not getting frustrated while reading, or not reading books that are too easy for them. I will forever be grateful for your donations and contributions to my classroom! My students and I thank you!”

  • Opportunities for Kids who Need Them

    Funded Mar 9, 2016

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students are able to utilize these laptops in order to do math programs such as ST Math, and reading programs such as Lexia. My students love using these programs and are happy that they now have the resources to do so.

    My student's test scores have skyrocketed since using these programs. My students are understanding concepts much better than they were previously.

    Thank you very much again for your generosity. I will forever be grateful, and I know my students will be as well.”

  • Life Essentials to Better Our Learning!

    Funded Jan 25, 2016

    Thank you very much for donating towards our snacks for our classroom. My students greatly appreciate it, and are amazed that so many people care about them--even if they have not met them before. My students are happier and more attentive now that they receive a snack in the afternoon. Their concentration and focus are also better. I will be forever grateful for the donations that I have received through Donors Choose, and how much it has impacted my students and their lives. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts, and for helping my students live a better future.”

  • We Believe in STEM in 1st Grade!

    Funded Oct 30, 2015

    My students LOVE their new iPads. Their excitement and passion for math and science have skyrocketed now that they can play games "instead of doing boring math!" (Little do they know, they are learning WHILE playing games) :)

    My students are not only learning math and science through programs such as ST Math and Play Science I, but they are also learning responsibility and sharing. Since we have 25 students and 8 iPads, the students have to take turns. They also know that they have to take very good care of these, as they were gifted to our classroom. The students have even helped create their own schedule of the iPad sharing.

    We cannot even begin to express our gratitude and excitement for this gift that you have helped give us. We all want to thank you from the bottoms of our hearts.”

The students at our school have weekly tests that they take on the computer. Students have the ability to practice for these tests during the week on their home accounts, but since many of my students don't have computers, they are unable to practice. Having an extra iPad in my room would help these students practice during the week while at school so that they have the same advantages as the students who do have computers at home. My students need an extra iPad for the classroom to do their weekly assigned online assessments. My students will be able to practice and work toward receiving passing grades on their weekly assessments. My students who do not get to experience technology at home will be able to use this iPad to receive this practice time as well. The iPad is accessible and easy to navigate so that they can learn independence and work towards their continued success in the classroom. Students can also use the different apps for music recording and video editing to further enhance their technological skills.
