I Can Hear Clearly Now!
Funded Dec 20, 2024I cannot fully express my joy, excitement, and appreciation for your donation to our class project. It is great to see that you share my vision for teaching children.
The headphones that you have funded have enabled students to hear directions clearly when taking NWEA Assessments, when learning and playing games to enhance their learning in Math and Reading using IXL, as well as recording themselves reading and publishing their writing samples to share with family and friends. We are so excited to add these headphones to enhance learning for all students. Thank you so much.
Our class gets so excited when they hear their voices after they have recorded themselves reading a story or publishing a writing piece. They enjoy improving their Math and Reading Skills when playing games through IXL. I am looking forward to seeing their NWEA scores improve in the spring when they are able to clearly hear the directions and demonstrate all that they have learned. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Funded Mar 29, 2023I cannot fully express my joy, excitement, and appreciation for your donation to our class project. It is great to see that you share my vision for teaching children. In reading, our students need the tangible experiences to help them learn through different modalities.

We Can See Clearly Now
Funded Mar 1, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donations that allowed our class to purchase a HoverCam. This HoverCam is connected to our SMART board and allows for tactile materials, activities and worksheets to be projected for the whole class to see and follow along. Having the ability to project visuals and materials is essential in being able to reach and teach all learners. The visuals help our ELL population to understand directions and learn new vocabulary. It assists our class to easily follow along and see step by step directions as projects and activities are completed together under the HoverCam.
The HoverCam is especially important during COVID times to help project materials when students cannot gather close together. The HoverCam has the ability to zoom in to see details and enlarge images that we are learning about. This HoverCam has made our learning experiences fun, engaging and interactive. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to enhance our learning.”

Funded Oct 23, 2020Thank you so much for giving our classroom the gift of clean air. During these uncertain times it is so important to do our part to keep both our students and teachers healthy while attending school in person on a daily basis. With your gift of two Dyson air purifiers we are able to know that our classroom air is cleaned and safe to breath. The first thing I do each morning when I enter the classroom is turn on the air purifiers to clean the classroom air before the students arrive. It gives me a sense of calmness to know that the air in our classroom is being circulated and cleaned on a daily basis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to keep my class healthy this year.”

Funded Sep 9, 2019Thank you so much for sharing in my vision to help students learn. Students learn best when they have tangible learning materials that they can manipulate. My students favorite part of the day is Readercise when they each choose learning games to help pre-teach, re-teach or challenge them. These new games are the first games the students choose to help them learn to read. We are forever grateful for your generous donation to our classroom. We can't wait to use these games each year for many years to come. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
