This is definitely going to give my third graders a chance to catch up with the fast-changing world of technology. I really appreciate that you helped make this possible”

Engaged in Independent Learning
Funded Sep 17, 2006I would like to sincerely thank you on my behalf and on behalf of my students. The resources you have provided for my students to be actively engaged in independent activities will truly help their academic learning, social skills, and performance abilities. I truly appreciate your generosity and attention to education. As a new teacher, I am always looking for ways to make learning fun and engaging for students. With your help, I will now have more resources to do this and to have more time teaching smaller groups and being more effective in my teaching while teaching my students to be independent learners.
Again, thank you very much”
