School Band
Funded Jun 4, 2022Thank you for bringing me the opportunity to make this band a reality. I have been teaching for the first time in my live (as I am not a music teacher) harmony to the students.
Many students wanted to learn guitar and keyboard chords. I taught them a little bit and now they are learning many simple songs. All the songs learned are performed later in front of the classmates as we are using that moment to foster fluency in kids.
We have already performed twice for the school, the last one playing 'Rocking Around the Christmas Tree' in guitars and keyboards with the school choir.”

Jurrasic Park Escape Room
Funded Jan 29, 2022Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to make this project a reality. I love dinosaurs and the Paleontology world. It was so fun to make passages to learn not only the Teks and goals for the STAAR test to pass to 6th grade but mosly it was fun to see kids learning content from the Mezosoic Era and how the scientists think the dinosaurs evolved. Apart from that, making my lesson engaging by having ´fossils´ in my classroom was really powerful and I am so happy to say that ALL the kids learned many things about dinosaurs that they will never forget. =) Thank you !!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Montgomery Family Fund and one other donor.World Map Model
Funded Sep 15, 2021It has been an awesome experience for the kids. During the year we have been playing many games and I am proud to say that all kids know all the continents, oceans, rivers, mountain ranges, highest peaks, volcanoes and many countries. By doing this project, they had fun and made a research so that they can meet all the requirements. At the end, we made voting and many of them got prizes. Thank you so much for let me have this opportunity and I am sure that during this process they learned and had fun. From my point of view, geography should be considered a must content to cover in Elementary Education ^^”

Dragon Ball Escape Room
Funded Jan 18, 2022It has been an awesome experience with prizes at the end. Kids had fun, will remember this forever and I am sure will encourage them to keep pushing in their future. We did a review of the STAAR by searching the 7 Dragon Balls. I can only say thank you for making this for the kids, thank you for providing all these materials to me and thank you again for trusting me as a teacher. It is a privilege to make these things possible. Students cannot say anymore that school is boring and this is the beginning of the education change.
