• VersaTiles Math Classroom Kit for Hands-on Learning and Discovery

  Funded Sep 1, 2021

  Thank you for your generous and thoughtful donations towards the VersaTiles® Math Classroom Kits for both our fourth and seventh grade students. The students truly enjoy using the kits because it provides an opportunity for them to get hands-on math skills practice with a self-checking answer system. Our students are using these resources during independent practice and in small groups during our differentiated math rotations. During these rotations, the teacher can determine which students are still struggling with previously taught grade level math content. Additionally, the self-checking component allows students to safely check their work and thinking. It is refreshing to observe them as they persevere until they obtain the correct answer, thereby building their self-confidence.”

• Basic Classroom Supplies for the 2021-2022 School Year

  Funded Aug 6, 2021

  There was much excitement in the room when the students opened the boxes and saw these classroom supplies. We are so thankful for the earphones, pencils, erasers, dry erase markers and sheet protectors.

  The pencil and erasers are always an ongoing supply issue throughout the school year so it was a relief to receive this boost at the start of the school year. The pencil sharpener was distributed to the kindergarten classroom. The earphones were distributed to our fifth grade students so they can complete their online STEM assignments. Our second through seventh grade students use the sheet protectors, dry erase markers and erasers to complete practice worksheets. Students also use the sheet protectors to house their data trackers. Lastly, the surge protectors are used by the teachers to charge their laptop carts or by students to charge their personal laptops.

  Thanks again for these much-needed resources. Our young scholars were ready, at the start of the school year, to complete their math assignments upon arrival.”

• Promoting a Safe and Healthy Classroom Environment

  Funded Oct 14, 2021

  Thank you for providing a safe and healthy classroom environment for our kindergarten math/science class. The air purifer is enhancing the classroom by providing clean, pure air. We have fewer absences and the students are not coughing and sneezing in the classroom. We strive for our scholars to attend school on a daily basis and this resource contributes to us maintaining this goal.

  The Goldfish crackers and Welch fruit snacks are important nutritional items for our young scholars as well. It keeps them focused on the lesson and not their little tummies.”

• Laptops to Close the Digital Divide

  Funded Jan 8, 2021

  I wholeheartedly thank you from the bottom of my heart for funding my largest Donors Choose project to date. This project provided nine laptops to our students. The laptops were given to six students who did not have laptops. The remaining laptops are checked out daily by students who are having issues with their school issued laptops. Students use the laptops in the classroom and at home to complete their online STEM and reading assignments.

  The Microsoft Surface Pro is being used during class to assign online interactive formative assessments like Kahoot and Quizizz. Additionally, the teacher uses the Surface Pro to connect via Zoom for online collaborative planning sessions.

  The writing tablets were distributed to four math/science teachers for use during teaching. The writing tablets allows the teacher to easily work out math problems. The surge protectors are being used by students to charge their laptops during class. Also, students use the earbuds to complete online math and reading assignments. Lastly, the USB adapters allow students to connect their headphones via a USB when the audio jacks are not functioning properly.

  Thanks, again for your generous donation.”

• STEM for Student Learning

  Funded Oct 16, 2020

  Thank you so much for funding my STEM for Student Learning project. The laptops were given to three students who did not have laptops. They are are fully utilizing these laptops in the classroom and at home to complete their online STEM and reading assignments.

  The students use the computers to connect via Zoom with their teachers. They also are able to complete assignments posted in Microsoft Teams, Edgenuity, i-Ready and Science Gizmos. In addition, the students utilized the laptops to conduct STEM research-based projects on famous women in STEM field.

  The fans are used to cool off classrooms (and the main office) when our air conditioning breaks down in the hot Miami and muggy weather. The books are shared among 3rd-5th grade classes. The STEM experiments are aligned to grade-level content and allow hands-on exploration of engaging science topics.”

• STEM Classroom Supplies

  Funded Oct 26, 2020

  Thanks for much for your generous donation. The laptop is being utilized by a student whose laptop was damaged. He uses the laptop to complete his English-learning program assignments and conduct STEM research-based projects. He also completes online math and reading assignments through programs like BrainPOP, Edgenuity, McGraw-Hill Online, and i-Ready.

  The earphones were given out to our fourth, fifth and sixth grade students so they can listen to online videos. The 3-ring binders and dividers were distributed to my 6th grade math students to organize their worksheets and class notes. The webcam is used during my Zoom classes.

  Lastly, the STEM careers bulletin board set is placed around the classroom to visually show students various careers in authentic settings.”

• Online Math Resources Created by Experienced Math Teachers

  Funded Sep 16, 2020

  I am so thankful for the donated resources. We are currently using these resources with our both our online and physical students during math instruction. Through Teachers Pay Teachers, we purchased anchor charts and multiplication facts worksheets for students in grades kindergarten to 5th grade. We use the anchor charts to review key concepts with our students. For our sixth graders, we use the Florida math standards review packets to get them ready of the state's annual math exam. The writing tablet is so helpful when I am explicitly teaching and showing students how to solve math problems.

  The Covid pandemic has created a very challenging school year, since half of our students are learning from home. Using ready-made math resources that were created by other math teachers, saves time during planning. Our students have benefited tremendously. Thanks again and we are forever grateful to you for your kindness and support.”
