One Headphone at a Time...
Funded Aug 11, 2020Thank you so much for helping me provide my students with headphones. I was excited when the headphones were delivered at school a week before school started. It was perfect timing. I was able to get all the materials ready for my students, so they would be prepared for our distance Zoom classes. The parents were very thankful and appreciated the donors for helping me with the headphones for their children.
Most of my students have siblings in the home who are also doing distance learning. Because my students have headphones they are able to stay focused even while their siblings are doing Zoom classes right next to them. The headphones are great because it helps reduce the noise around them.The students are learning and not getting distracted by what is happening around them throughout the day. At the end of last school year, I saw how my students were constantly distracted by the noise that was around them. This semester I have seen an improvement in their focus and student engagement. I feel confident that the students' education will not be impacted during our virtual learning thanks to the headphones.”

Funded Sep 27, 2019Thank you so much for all your kindness and support. My students were so happy to receive the Chromebooks. Most of my students don't have computers at home and are not able to use the online resources available to them. I appreciate all your help to be able to provide my students with the technology resources needed to access all the online educational math programs. My students are so eager to use the math programs every day. All my students are learning while having fun through interactive educational math games. Thank you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by District Partnership Program and 5 other donors.Chromebooks To The Rescue
Funded Jan 26, 2018Thank you so much for making it possible for my wonderful students to have four Chromebooks in the classroom. My students are so happy and engaged in their learning now that they have the technology needed to access the new English program online. Their reading is improving. Every day during our small groups students read at least three ebooks and then listen to alphabet songs. It's such a great feeling to see them happily singing educational songs while learning an important aspect of reading. This would've not happened without all your help and kindness. My students and I really appreciate what you have done for our classroom and their experience using technology to enhance their learning.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The First Million Fund and one other donor.Future Professionals in Need of Technology Resources
Funded Nov 6, 2016Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show my students that anything is possible with hard work and that their education is very important. They are getting the chance of experiencing and getting motivated by the technology we now have in the classroom. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to expose my students to the technology that other students experience at more advantage schools. My students are so excited and are being motivated to succeed and never give up because they now know that so many people care about their future and education. It was great to go through the process together with my students, creating the project and getting excited every time we got a donation was a great experience for my students.
The ELMO and projector are being used in different ways in the classroom. My students have used the new technology to read while the class follows along with the book projected on the board. Students are able to follow along when reading as a whole class because they can see exactly where we are. My second language learners are benefiting from the new technology because I can project visual texts to support their learning.
My students have surprised me since they now want to read in front of the class because they desire to show their favorite books to their classmates. My students will be able to project their finished project and present them to the class which has created motivation throughout the classroom to finish their work. They are excited to show case their finished projects to the class. Having the technology in the classroom has provided me with great resources to aid my students learning. Thank you to all the donors who made this possible so my third grade students are able to get the much needed technology.”
