  • CD Boombox and CDs Needed

    I would like to thank you for your generous contribution to my class. My first grade students have been using the boom box and cds since the day that they arrived.

Thanks to your help, my students have already improved some of their word study, reading, and math skills.

First grade is a critical time for students to develop their foundations in reading, writing, word study, and math. The boom box and cds that you have provided my class have helped my students take another step forward in improving these skills.

  • Camera Needed

    Funded Nov 20, 2011

    My students and I would like to thank you for your generous contribution to our classroom. The canon digital camera has enabled my students to learn to connect ideas and written pieces to visual images in various subjects like science, social studies, and reading/writing. Through your contributions, my students have been able to learn how to use a point and shoot camera and were able to document their work. They were able to enhance their "how-to make" writing pieces by adding photographs next to the sequenced steps. They were able to document various science experiments and will soon be documenting caterpillars turning into butterflies. I appreciate your assistant with making this possible. ”
