  • Calculating Success

    Funded Dec 16, 2024

    Thank you again for supporting my classroom and my students. These calculators have been a big help in my classroom. Lots of people do not understand why students should be allowed to use calculators in the classroom, but I am not one of those people. Calculators are a tool that will be readily available to my students in the real world and they should be taught how to use them. My goal as their educator is to not only teach my students the skills and standards required by the educational department, but to also teach them skills needed to be successful in college and their future as productive adults in the world. It is important that my students know how to use all of the tools available to them to be successful.”

  • Sublimation Rewards

    Funded Feb 20, 2024

    My students and I love the sublimation kit we received. The machine is used to make shirts and cups for the students for academic and behavioral achievements. I think it is important to reward students for all that they do. Sometimes the focus of the teacher is not spent praising the students doing what they are supposed to do, but rather on the students that need more attention and assistance. This project allowed the focus to be on all students. Rewards make students feel great and motivate them to work hard or to continue to work hard. I am happy to be able to show my students a small token of my appreciation.”

  • Stations to the Rescue

    Funded Feb 20, 2024

    Math is something many students struggle with. I sometimes find it hard to meet the individualized needs of each of my students. Incorporating stations into my classroom has really helped to meet these needs. With these stations, I have students work in smaller groups, working on various levels of the same skill, while my time is freed up to either work with small groups or individual students. My students really benefit from small group and individual assistance from me.

    This new technology in the classroom excited my students, because most do not have the up-to-date technology at home. This allows them to use new technology and also gives them something to work hard for.”

  • Reading for the Future

    Funded Feb 20, 2024

    Reading is something that I love and enjoy, but not all of my students do. Although I teach math, I really wanted to set up a space for students to be able to read books that they would enjoy. Reading books that are interesting and exciting helps my students to grow their love of reading, but also practice the skill of reading.

    Many of the books purchased are new to me and my students. Instead of reading the books myself, I ask the students to summarize and tell me about the book. This requires them to critically think about what they have read, but in a more causal way.

    I hope my students grow to love reading just as much as I do.”

  • Standup and Learn

    Funded Feb 20, 2024

    My students have really enjoyed the stand up desks. I am definitely going to have to get more, because more than two people want to stand and work in each class. My students who had a hard time staying in their seat and focusing are doing much better. I do not have to say sit down, stay in your area and do your work. They are at their desk working hard.

    My students were excited to see the new desks in the classroom. At first, they were not sure if they were allowed to stand at them. Once I explained that they were allowed to use them as long as they were working, they have been in use everyday and in every class.

    I am very grateful for this donation to my classroom and I know my students are as well. They were use to the conventional way of learning, but not anymore.”

  • Jackets to Warm the Body and Heart

    Funded Feb 20, 2024

    My students and I are very excited to receive these jackets. I think it is important that I can meet this need of my students. We have a strict uniform policy at my school and these jackets are perfect for the students who do not have one.

    It really warmed my heart to be able to provide my students with these jackets. It also warmed my heart to see how grateful they were to receive them. They were happy, not only because I thought enough of them to create this project but also because you thought enough of them to fund this project.

    My students can now continue on their educational journey warm and happy. They do not have to worry about not being in uniform because you provided them with the necessary outerwear. Thank you again from my students and I.”

  • Prepared Teacher Providing Effective & Technologically Advanced Instruction

    Funded Nov 15, 2023

    Thank for funding my classroom. Technology is very important in education and it is used daily. This new iMac has allowed me to create, grade, assign, display, and share my screen with and for my students so much easier. Having data chats and reviewing grades has become much easier because both my students and I can see the screen so much better.

    We are extremely grateful for this new technology tool in our classroom. Educating my students is very important to me and having the necessary and functional tools available to complete the job is definitely a plus.”

  • Learning With Manipulatives!

    Funded Jun 8, 2022

    Thank you for the classroom donations. I love things that allow my students the opportunity to get up and move around the classroom. These manipulatives do just that. My students are able to work problems around the classroom, interact, and discuss math with each other.

    My students and I are very appreciative of the materials . The posters are very helpful when teaching. I have taught my students to refer back to the posters for help while learning. This is good because in the real world they will be able to refer to the internet, so I am teaching them how to use the resources available. Success is not an option in my classroom, and these material are helping my students to be just that.”

Having these Samsung Galaxy tablets inside the classroom, will give my students the skills needed to be college and career ready. The tablets will be used to allow the students to interact with math simulations programs, participate in guided, interactive presentation activities, take online assessments, therefore increasing their skills in the "Pre" Pre-Algebra math classroom. The tablets will also be used to reduce negative behaviors and increase student participation by offering hands-on, engaging, 21st century activities. My students are already equipped with a 21st century mindset, they are now in need of 21st century classroom technology for their math classroom.
