  • Computer Mice

    Funded Nov 8, 2023

    This project has provided the 5th graders in my classroom the use of a computer mouse every time they use the computers. Before they were doing rock, paper, scissors for the 2 extra mice that I have.

    This small item will have an immense impact on the students ability to accurately click, scroll and even copy and paste!”

  • Document Camera

    Funded Aug 30, 2018

    Thank you for contributing to my project of a document camera. I can't thank you enough.

    Last year during remote learning, I was so grateful to not have to worry about how I was going to teach students from home. The document camera allowed me to project what I was doing on a white board or assignment onto the screen so all of the students could follow along.

    One amazing feature that I especially like is the ability to make videos. I had not used this feature before but found that for some students they like being able to watch a video that explains the steps and pause the video while they do it. I would have not had the ability to provide this to my students without this document camera.

    Your generosity is very much appreciated.”

  • Binding Machine

    Funded May 25, 2021

    Thank you for funding this project! I am looking forward to being able to prepare workbooks this summer for the upcoming year and get ready the next school year!

    I am also excited to be able to create portfolios for my graduating 5th graders to preserve the amazing work they did while on remote learning.

    Your generosity is truly appreciated.”

  • Stool Seating

    Funded Nov 11, 2020

    Thank you for your support of this project. My students will use these stools daily during our morning meeting and every time we come to the rug to do our best thinking.

    I truly appreciate your generous support of this project and our classroom. It is the little things that make our classroom function at its best.”

  • You've Got Mail!

    Funded May 9, 2018

    I have been using my mailbox center in the classroom for a couple of months, and it has been such a great tool for my classroom. I have a mail-person who distributes the mail daily. Typical mail includes corrected homework, notes that need to go home to parents and their parent-teacher communicators that go home daily. It puts all of the paper in one central place so that the students can grab everything at the end of the day and put it in their folder to go home.

    It has also been super helpful with student absences. I use a red folder for students who are out. During the day, I put any work they miss into their mailbox and at the end of the day, the mail-person puts those papers into the red folder. This has made it easy for my students to know what work they missed and what they have to make up.

    With this mailbox in my room, it has helped me keep up with returning student's work. If I miss a day and do not hand back any work, they are quick to give me a "friendly" reminder. They are so accustomed to getting the work back that they are disappointed when there is no work to go home to show their parents.

    This was the first project that I have posted on Donorschose.org and I am overwhelmed with the generosity of strangers. As a teacher, my first priority is to help my students learn and become better people. Sometimes, it can be costly to give my students all of the things that will help them. This is one tool that I couldn't have afforded to purchase, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

A communication center is essential to any classroom. The MAIL CENTER WALL MOUNT 30 SLOT will be a focal point in our classroom. It will be used to hand out important information to families about our school and our community. Many families receive assistance through community services, and this is the best way to ensure that the information is sent home to everyone. Feedback for students is most effective when it is given quickly. Correcting and commenting on students' work is an essential part of the learning process. I can't always meet with each student to discuss their work, so being able to facilitate passing back their work in a timely manner would be the most beneficial to everyone. Our current system is hanging organizer that is not effective. The papers fall out of their slot and it falls off the wall easily. I am looking for a more permanent solution that will be used again and again.
