Snack Attack
Funded Dec 9, 2024My students and I would like to express our gratitude for your support and generosity in supplying snacks to our school. The snacks come in handy for when students are hungry before their lunchtime, which is at the end of the day, and they are able to have something quick to carry them over until then.
When the students saw all the boxes of snacks they were excited. They asked "where did they come from?", and I gave them a quick history of Donors Choose, and how generous people (donors) give towards projects.
At this time, in English Language Arts and Math the children are being prepared for the upcoming ELA and Math State Exams, and it can be intense. Many times they want to stay on my prep period to learn additional strategies, instead of going to a PE Class, or Dance Class, and they are given a snack as they practice various strategies in order to be successful.”

WRITERS SUPPLIES
Funded Aug 31, 2016My class and I would like to thank you for funding our project "Writer's Supplies." With your added support of providing these supplies, you have allowed us to be able to have a surplus of supplies, which will possibly last throughout the first half, if not the end of the school year.
During our most recent unit, the students analyzed various poems, and created visual representations of their interpretations. By connecting their visual/drawing of the poems to the poems' central ideas, the students showed how adding visual elements to poetry can clarify the main idea. For this project, they used many of the donated supplies (construction paper, pencils, markers, and notebooks). They loved the flexibility and creativity that the project allowed, and many came in after school multiple days in order to finish it.
My students also write in their journals (notebooks) twice daily, in both reading and writing class. Having the notebooks as a resource for note-taking and personal writing keeps their writing skills sharp, while also ensuring accountability for their daily lessons. Right now, the students are using the skills they learned from the poetry project to examine central idea in their own independent reading books, which they will then write a "companion book" about.
We deeply appreciate your graciousness, and as we continue to use all of the supplies in our reading and writing classes, we will cherish your donation by writing more.
Once again, we want to thank you, and let you know how much you are appreciated.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Nesbitt
This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 5 other donors.Supplies Much Needed
Funded Jan 5, 2012I would like to personally thank all sponsors that donated to my project called "Much Needed
Supplies." My class and I really appreciate your kindness and support, whereas I personally could
not afford to purchase the supplies myself. We will be using the supplies donated for class and home
assignments. My school was hit with severe budget cuts whereas we lost several staff members,
and we also were subjected to monetary loss and could not purchase much needed supplies. I thank
you in advance, and know that the supplies are well appreciated.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Nesbitt
