  • Centers for 2C

    Funded Oct 16, 2017

    In order to learn at such a young age, students need to be active and engaged. Before these awesome centers came, we were limited on what we could do as far as staying engaged. Luckily, the grab and match, power pens, and pop up games have been more than helpful in keeping my students engaged. They absolutely love all of the different opportunities to learn their basic skills in reading with their peers or independently. I can even use the power pens and grab and matches during small group to help my them learn about adjectives or the main idea of a short passage.”

  • Math and Social Studies Centers

    Funded Oct 23, 2017

    Thank you so much for donating our project! My students were very excited to see all of the new centers come in along with being very curious. When I told them what type of centers they were, they all got excited. It's not everyday when you get centers specifically for Social Studies but it has become very helpful. My class has really enjoyed using the puzzles and match ups because they have some extra freedom to learn at their own pace during stations. These centers are so influential since they are hands on material that my students can have fun learning with. We greatly appreciate your efforts in making 2C a fun place to learn.”

  • Supplies Galore!

    Funded Oct 9, 2017

    I teach at a small community school where materials and resources are limited. My students were ecstatic when all of our new classroom supplies came in. At first, they were not sure what to expect because I told them it was a surprise but as soon as I opened those boxes their expressions were priceless.

    We are currently using the headphones for our computer center where the students can get on our Chromebooks and engage themselves on educational sites. We also use the headphones for our listening center where they can listen to books. The sleeves have been a huge hit for my students. We use them for all of our centers and the kids love them because they can take them anywhere!”

  • Learning through the Art of Technology

    Funded Oct 3, 2017

    Technology has become a major impact in public schools. We use it for everything throughout the day. We use our Chromebooks during center time where my students can play educational games, they go to Computer class during Specials where they learn the basics about computers, or for subject areas like Social Studies so they can research historical figures.

    Chromebooks are essential in my classroom because they are versatile. My students can take them to their desks at anytime during the day. I also like the fact that their programs are a lot faster than the outdated "Dinosaur" Computers. Overall, my students enjoy having our Chromebooks in the classroom because it is gives them opportunities to express themselves through technology.”

  • Chromebooks for 2C

    Funded Dec 29, 2016

    Technology has become a major learning tool in education today. With these Chromebooks, my students are able to research facts and complete group projects. They can also AR test over their library books, play fun educational games, Imagine Learning and Xtra Math.

    My students are excited about this product because they get to learn in a new way. We do a lot of hands on activities throughout the year but having the option to use technology while learning makes all the difference too. Also, just like iPads, these Chromebooks are portable and have wireless connection which means we can take learning where ever we go.

    Most of my students have warmed up to the idea of having technology that is ready to use throughout the day. It's easy to work with and it give us the ability to expand our learning. Technology makes learning fun!”

  • We Need to Move It - Move It!

    Funded Aug 26, 2016

    I can't express enough how grateful my class is to have these iPad minis in our classroom. Technology has become a major part in our classroom and is incorporated in our new way of learning.

    My students are able to read books using QR codes. We play educational games that help with math and reading strategies. They also use the devices during centers and small group instruction.

    Overall, my students are absolutely loving their new iPad minis. They are enjoying the freedom they have to explore the room and/or school to become more actively engaged in learning.”

  • 2C Needs Supplies!

    Funded Oct 24, 2016

    I can't express enough how grateful we are to get new supplies for our classroom. Being in a small school means that we must supply what we can for our students. By funding my project, you have given me the opportunity to give my students new materials to increase their learning.

    My students are able to use the new easel for centers such as reading big books, word work, and math activities. We also use our easel to create anchor charts which gives them the opportunity for classroom discussions. It is a very interactive piece in my classroom and we really enjoy using it. The ink for my classroom printer has given me the opportunity to print out new and colorful centers for my students to use during small group instruction. We have even created place mats for Thanksgiving and letters to Santa.

    Overall, my students are absolutely loving the new supplies we have received. We are on our way to becoming more actively engaged in learning!”

My students are requesting iPads to take advantage of physical fitness Apps, GoNoodle videos, and YouTube sites to listen and read fitness & health books. They come to me from 1st grade LOVING to move along with brain breaks and listen to books! When discussing how they could best benefit from the Target campaign, my students kept coming back to utilizing Apps so they could watch, read, listen to and follow along with exercises, brain breaks, books and activities. They love jumping, counting, surfing, dancing, bouncing up and down, etc. Accessing these Apps will be so much easier with new iPads and earbuds. With these iPads, my students will be able to do so many different activities; Yoga, jogging, dancing to the beat of a favorite tune, or even reading about the food pyramid. They will love being active and they will have fun in the process. They won't realize they are exercising, much less doing brain breaks that help speed the learning process. NO more sitting during brain breaks only active learning and we will be up and MOVING! Please be a part of making this project a reality for my students, and give a gift that will continue to help year after year....the gift of active learning and the importance of fitness.
