  • Novel Study Gear

    Funded Feb 28, 2019

    My students and I are forever grateful for your contribution to our classroom. The students thoroughly enjoyed reading their novels and using the comfortable pillows. We did, however, have to improvise with our projects because the heat press broke while we attempted to use it. Students created dioramas and re-enacted scenes from the novels.

    Without Donors Choose and its generous partners, many students will not have access to such great resources. We thank you for your compassion and concern for each student whose life you have impacted.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Laster

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose.org Community and one other donor.

  • Project Pen Pal

    Funded Oct 24, 2018

    Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for your consideration, support, and donations. I am most certain that my students will greatly benefit from these materials. Thank you for affording my students a new way to learn. The Donor's Choose platform is a service that is necessary and much appreciated.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Laster

    This classroom project was brought to life by Chevron Fuel Your School.
I will make connections with teachers in school districts such as Broward County, Pinellas County as well as other states such as Georgia and South Carolina. Together, we will pair students from our classrooms based on certain criteria to ensure that they have different things to share with one another. Some of the things they will be encouraged to share are the geographical details of their school such as the climate and historical events related to their school, city, or state. Finding a pen pal will create lasting memories and will allow my class to bond with students in other school districts, from different backgrounds, and learn to respect differences.Students will use the laptop to create designs and use the Cricut machineand accessories to create handmade greeting cards and letters to communicate with their pen pal. They will be required to send one letter or card to their pen pal once each quarter. This project will help to enhance students' writing techniques and communication skills. Hopefully, they will develop life-long friendships and have the opportunity to look back on the history of their pen pal relationship together.
