• "Can You Hear Me Now? -- Good!"

  Funded Aug 2, 2023

  We cannot stress enough the importance of these Whisper earpieces/headsets when traveling. Thank you so much for your generous donations to help us get these headsets for touring with guides throughout Greece. No longer did we have to huddle around the guide, nor did the guide have to yell to be heard. These headsets made touring fun as participants could explore and see what the guide was actually talking about when explaining the importance of historical sights. Students were able to take notes in their journals for school with ease without having to ask for information to be repeated. These earpieces sure brought the fun and excitement into touring with a guide. Thank you so much for every one who helped out.”

• Ready - Set - Stay Connected!

  Funded Feb 10, 2023

  Thank you so much for the generous donations towards this project. Little did we know how much of an impact and difference the hotspot along with the adaptor plugs would play while traveling. Participants were able to connect and retrieve information from the internet, including their projects to be presented on the bus. Furthermore, the hotspot played a crucial part for contacting parents when needed in case of emergency. Connectivity played a huge role while traveling. Your generous help via donations made this possible for our group participants.”

• Ready - Set - Travel (Part 2)

  Funded Mar 14, 2023

  Thanks to your generous donations, our students were able to share all pictures amongst each other from or recent trip to Italy and Greece. With your help in form of donations, they were able to upload, share, and publish photos from their adventures. It turned out, we had a couple of new "photographers" on the trip who were entrusted with the digital camera to take pictures for the nightly updated website. Students were thrilled to not only see their pictures on social media but on a web page created every night. Learning new technologies as they travel. Thank you.”

• First Timer ELA

  Funded Aug 25, 2023

  What a difference great materials made in class. Thanks to your generous donations, seniors in my English classes had a variety of materials and activities available. Whereas veteran teachers pull out file folders from their file cabinets, this newcomer to ELA 12 had to start from scratch. Thanks to TpT and your generous donations, I was able to purchase great proven classroom materials ready for use in class. Students were very appreciative of the variety of materials and digital escape room materials online. Thank you again for you help with these materials I was able to purchase with the gift cards. Thank you.”

• Let's Get Organized!

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  Organization between various classes clubs and honor society is essential for success. Students not only enjoyed the various small items such as the hot glue gun for various projects, but they definitely enjoyed the 3-Ring binders for activities, projects, and publication of their work. Students were proudly displaying their work or organizing files. The upper level class wrote and illustrated their autobiographies, nice and neatly in the 3-Ring binders. Proudly they submitted their published work. Without your help, this would not have been possible. Thank you so much.”

• STEM"ing" Easter Eggs--Applied German Culture

  Funded Jul 12, 2022

  Most American Easter traditions originate in Germany. On most German tables an Easter-tree with colorful painted blown-out eggs decorate most homes. As students were studying various traditions, they created their own STEAM 3D Doodler Pen eggs, bringing this tradition to a whole new level. They had an experience way beyond the textbook, cresting and designing their own eggs to display them on a „tree" within the classroom. They had a great time being creative with this hands-on activity mage possible by the m as my donors Thank you so much. We are forever grateful.”

• Let's Race--STEM Robotic Kits In German Class

  Funded Jun 15, 2022

  Learning vocabulary in any foreign language class is a tough task, often with meaningless memorization. Building robotic solar powered vehicles surely elevated this task to a totally new level. Students were engaged in the STEM activity while applying their German vocabulary in conversations. Race day had to wait for some time due to lack of sun. Several adjustments were needed to make the vehicles go. The engagement was phenomenal! Students enjoyed the hands-on activity. Thanks to everyone who made this possible for my students.”

• Travel Writers

  Funded Oct 26, 2022

  Having the proper materials ready when traveling is a must. The 3-ring binders along with paper, pouches, pens and pencils, envelopes and more came in more than handy to keep students focused and documents all in one place. Taking notes on tours, writing journals for life long lasting memories was priceless. Thanks to your generosity, these students were able to capture the moments, the events and memories of a life time trip to Italy and Germany. They could not have been as successful if you had not made these generous doantions towards this adventure. We are forever grateful for your generous donations to help these students out.

  Thanks you so much for your generousity.”

• Game Time in German Class -- Create Your Own Games!

  Funded Aug 9, 2022

  Game time! Thanks to Donorschoose, my students were able to create board games about several cultural or historical aspects in German/y. Strategic and logistical thinking, utilizing materials provided, they had to design a game within in their groups. After they created an evaluation Rubrik, students played other groups games, writing an evaluation ... and learning at the same time. Learning was fun!

  Creativity was filling the room when they came up with ideas for games and themes. All this was made possible through great donors like you. Thank you very much for making this possible gif my students! They appreciated the materials so much.”

• Write-Color-Draw & Pop Its in German Class

  Funded Sep 17, 2022

  Having basic materials in class such as crayons and markers is such a great asset to have for students. It surely will bring teaching to life in color. Many crafts and basic assignments are no longer boring .... They become exciting, in color.

  Students were and are able to put their learned knowledge to use by applying and creating new things. Creating is a higher level skill—at times tough in a foreign language.

  Students enjoyed the Pop-its as as answer key with great delight. Usually, they answered multiple choice questions with multiple answers individually, before coming together as a group to determine the final answers. No paper was wasted and students had fun to discuss and punch/pop answers. Thank you so much again for your help and generous donations!”
