Books Will Take My Students on New Experiences
Funded Jan 23, 2022These books have impacted 357 students in the first year of having them in my classroom. My students have loved the availability and variety of these books, which gives them so many opportunities to read and grow. Many of these titles are new to my students and it has been a great joy to see them light up while reading a new adventure. Once a month my classes do a read-a-thon and the books given to us during this project are some of the favorites that get chosen very first. I cannot wait to see what new experiences my students will continue to have over the years with these books available.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Utah State Board of Education.Expanding Our Learning Outside of the Classroom Through Sound.
Funded Sep 24, 2021I am so humbled by the generosity you have shown my students with our Donors Choose project. The kindness you have shown me and my students will always be cherished and appreciated for years to come. With your help I was able to reach my students learning abilities on a different level by using sound through our new headphones.
Having these incredible headphones has opened opportunities for some of my lower income students to hear stories read aloud to them, to listen to podcasts for education and to excel on our online district reading program. It has been such a great experience as a teacher watching my students thrive and get excited for learning in our English class.
We have had a lot of fun using the microphone feature to record ourselves in video responses. The students have had a blast creating their own characters and recording dialogue using this same feature microphone feature.
I am very excited to see what amazing things we create in the future using the wonderful technology we now have access to. Thank you for making this goal a reality for our classroom.”

Can You Hear Me? Experience Learning Through Sound
Funded Oct 8, 2018These headphones have made an incredible impact on my students learning. They are highly engaged in the online programs we use to learn in our classroom. My students love to use online programs to enhance and challenge their reading and math skills. Using these programs has helped each child on an individual level by making it easier to meet their specific needs. The headphones have been a huge asset in their reading fluency. We are able to record them reading books and then play it back to them so that they can hear their own self read. This is extremely powerful as it helps them to work on their fluent reading skills. My students have enjoyed the wonderful headphones we received because of you. I am deeply humbled and very grateful for you and your impact on the future of each of my students lives.”
