Project-Based Learning in World Literature
Funded Feb 6, 2024Thank you so much for these supplies. I can’t wait to provide my students with a more culturally responsive classroom library. These books will help us to have book clubs and will foster many student-led, project-based assignments. None of which would be possible without your support. Thank you.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Connecticut State Department of Education.Supplies Needed for Classroom Printer
Funded Oct 16, 2018Thank you so much for our printer supplies for our classroom. Many of my students do not have access to computers and/or printers at home and having in-class access makes their academic lives much easier. In addition, if an extra worksheet or text is needed, I have the printer available to ensure that my students have everything that they need on a daily basis. It makes all the difference when I cannot leave the room to make extra copies.
Students really appreciate having a printer in the room and are so grateful for your generous donation.”

Chromebooks for DHS Students!
Funded Mar 27, 2018Words cannot describe the impact that these Chromebooks have made in my classroom. Everything from testing to writing to using websites for textual analysis is now able to be achieved. If students are absent, I can easily have them access technology to make up work. Additionally, if students need or want to access the Internet to do research I can, without hesitation, provide them a Chromebook for this purpose. Overall, my students are so grateful to have this access within my classroom and I am so thankful to have easier access to technology for their needs. Thank you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Ripple.Get Mrs. Femia's Class a Whiteboard!
Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you so much for the donation of a whiteboard to my classroom. The whiteboard allowed me to project writing samples on the board and model various aspects of the writing process with my students. It alleviated any issues due to allergies and provided an easier method for myself and my students to share out information in front of the class. Projecting excerpts of texts and sample paragraphs removed the need for a Doc Cam which is a scarce resource in the building and really allowed the teaching and learning occurring in my classroom to be more authentic. Thank you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Ripple.Twelfth Night! We Need Books!
Funded May 10, 2018Thank you so much for this class set of "Twelfth Night" books. It made such a difference in my classroom to be able to have 1:1 student/book ratios as we read and analyzed the text. Students were able to have a copy of the play in front of them and this, in return, allowed us to act out scenes which made the entire reading process more enjoyable and engaging. My students were so excited to have the copies and I saw such a difference in their comprehension and analysis of the characters and the language. It also relieved pressure on myself and the school as I did not have to make additional copies of the text. Everyone was able to be on the same page, read, and follow along and it was so amazing. Thank you!”

We Have Our Chromebooks! We Need a Computer Cart!
Funded May 10, 2018Thank you so much for your generous purchase of the computer cart for our classroom. Without the cart, I did not have any place to safely store and/or charge the 10 Chromebooks that were donated to us. This left each of these resources in an incredibly vulnerable state and made it difficult to actually use them on a daily basis.
Now that we have the cart, each of the laptops can be adequately charged and locked up so that they don't disappear. Students know where and how to access this resource and we all don't have to worry that they won't be available or ready to use when they're needed.
Having the cart makes my life as an educator so much easier and I am able to plan lessons where students can access the Internet.”
