  • Headsets for Spanish Class

    Funded Jan 2, 2023

    I want to thank you for your generousity. With your donations, I was able to recieve a class set of head-sets for my students. In a language class, headsets are very important because they allow students to listen and feel comfortable speaking to a computer. This allows me to better assist them and know what I need to support them in. My students oftentimes don't get new material so they were very excited to help me open the boxes and see what your donation funded. Some of my most timid students have been participating more with the head of the headsets that you have donated. Thank you so much for your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Castillo

  • HELP ME GET CLASS SUPPLIES

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    Thank you for helping me with this project!

    It means a lot to my students and I. I'm incredibly grateful for your donations. It has allowed for me to fund my classroom with materials that my district does not supply. You are giving my students the opportunity to achieve their ability to show how much they have learned in my class.

    My students are happy to have new materials that are working well. With these materials, we have been able to create beautiful projects and my students have been able to showcase their creativity.”

  • ¡ Libros Para Nuestros Chicos !

    Funded Jul 1, 2020

    I want to thank you so much for helping me reach my goal for books. These books have made such a great impact in my class. My students use them daily and have gotten so much out of them. After being forced to be remote it is nice for them to put the electronic away and go back to having a book in hand. My students are having fun while reading. I am grateful for your donations and your contribution to my classroom. I know that my students are also grateful to have new books in class.

    Thank you so much for your generousity.”

  • ¿Qué Tal? - Scholastics to the Spanish- Speaking World

    Funded Dec 9, 2019

    I truly want to thank you for your contribution to my classroom. The scholastics, Que tal, magazines have been a great help for my students. With little resources, it is difficult to get students a variety of text in our target language. These magazines have been a nice addition to our room. We have been able to use the magazine to learn about current Latin American topics.

    The magazines are filled with interesting articles. My students love the colorful pictures. They are a great additional resource for classroom discussions on current topics. My students love the incorporation of these magazines in our classroom.

    Thank you so much for allowing my class the opportunity to have the magazines. We are very grateful for your donations. Our textbooks are extremely old and in bad condition, so it's nice for my students to have something new to learn from. Thanks for helping fund my project, my students and I are very grateful.”

  • Headsets for Español

    Funded Dec 9, 2019

    I want to express my gratitude for your donation to my classroom. The microphone headsets have been so helpful when assessing my students' proficiency levels. The microphones are being used with various websites to help students practice their Spanish.

    With large classroom sizes, it is nice to be able to listen to each student's growth with their recordings. The headsets allow me to view their progress. It is a great way for me to see how they are doing. Many students have found this extra helpful since recordings help minimize their anxiety in the classroom.

    Thank you for making this happen for us. We truly appreciate it and are grateful for your contribution to our classroom. These headsets have really helped our class dynamic. We are very appreciative. Thank you for helping fund this project and helping my kiddos learn better.”

    With gratitude,

I teach at an inner-city school where the core subjects tend to take lead in priority. Elective class sizes are very large, making it hard to give each student individual attention. With limited resources, it is very difficult to engage all students in the target language and track their growth. By getting headset donations, we will be able to track progress throughout the year and students will be able to reflect on their personal level goals. Headsets are imperative when you are teaching large classroom sizes because it gives students a chance to see their progression. Our textbooks are great for learning grammar and writing structures, but we need to practice using our target language orally in order to be successful. Headsets will allow my students to practice speaking and will allow them to hear themselves. This will help us both evaluate their current level and assess their progression.
