The Exciting World of Robots!
Funded Feb 28, 2019I wanted to thank each and every one that contributed to this project. This project was very important to me because I wanted to encourage my girls to work with robots and if you see the pictures, my girls are enjoying working and building this user friendly robot.
My students were so excited to see the box arrive and even more excited when I opened it. Now they are excited to see the robot move as they do their programming. They are amazed when they make the robot talk and just love to keep making it talk and move.
Thank you so much for allowing my students to have this wonderful experience.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose.org Community and 4 other donors.Cricut Creations
Funded Sep 28, 2018My students were so excited to hear that the Cricut Project was funded. They expressed that they felt like they won the lottery when the project was funded. They thought it would not get funded because there are so many different projects on Donors Choose and thought that we would be very lucky if our project was chosen.
They wanted to be able to create beautiful cards to encourage each other, make T-shirts for our class, create different shapes or sayings to add to their class projects or to the classroom walls. I wanted to find a way to encourage my students to work with different types of technology while encouraging others to succeed. Our projects on the Cricut have started to do that. They love to get the cutouts on the vinyl sheets and peel them to use them on different projects or cards such as the ones you are getting. This was our first project on the Cricut cutter.
All students want to do now is create. They are thinking outside the box and I absolutely love the way they growing. We are currently working on cards they will be giving each other as a form of encouragement.
I whole heartedly thank you for allowing our class to be able to grow, encourage and expand in their learning not only in technology but also in their social skills. We can never repay your grand gesture. Thank you for supporting our classroom.”

A Quiet Place to Work
Funded Sep 28, 2018I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the donation made to my students. We had received iPads from our district, but did not receive headphones for the iPads. The room sounded like an arcade with all the different sounds going on in the room. The students could not concentrate on their work because of the noise level.
My students were so excited when I opened the box and showed them the headphones. Due to your donation, students are able to work on their projects without all the noise. They are also able to record themselves and they love to hear themselves and other students through the use of their iPads and headphones with integrated microphone. This makes it so much better for my students. It even seems as if their grades are improving.
Thank you for providing us with headphones that allow my students to concentrate. We are truly grateful.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and 2 other donors.iPad Energy
Funded Sep 25, 2018I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the donation made to my students. We had received iPads from our district, but the charger took up to much space and I could only connect three iPads to a surge protector. I had to connect a surge protector to another surge protector. It was not very convenient. I needed to make sure all iPads could be connected in a safe manner.
Due to your donation, I am now able to connect 10 IPads to one charger. This makes it so much better for my students. It makes for a safer environment made possible by you and your donation.
Thank you so much for providing us with a convenient and safe way for my students to charge their iPads. We are truly grateful”
