Funded Jan 12, 2012Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for your generous donation to our class laptop. Before, our third grade class had a slow-running, antiquated, and obsolete Mac. We had to wait for it to load for at least 5 minutes, and when it finally loaded, many times it would freeze in the middle of a lesson. Needless to say, this was challenging. Every day, I would tell my class that I had written a grant on a website called Donors Choose, and that someday soon we would get a fast, new computer.
Finally, in January, that day came. Our new laptop arrived from Best Buy. Everyone wanted to look at it closely and ask questions. It was even more spectacular when I hooked it up to the Smartboard and all of the programs and applications worked! My third graders were ecstatic on that day.
Your donations have had an enormous impact on 22 third grade scholars. We are now able to do hands-on math using our Pearson website Your donation allowed me to show hands on fractions, geometry, and long division. It truly makes a difference when students are excited about going up to the Smartboard and interacting with technology.
Thank you for making a difference in so many children's lives. ”
With gratitude,
Ms. Fender
