  • Reach More Students in More Ways.

    Funded Dec 16, 2014

    My students are very appreciative of the resources they received. For those whose pens run out during class, or loose their writing utensils, they are happy to use the pencils that you helped purchase. In addition, they say that color coded assignments have helped them to improve their work organization.

    I provide additional references and skills practice work by making copies using the print paper and printer cartridge that was purchased through this grant. Students make scrapbooks on different topics and enjoy the colored covers with white paper.

    Learning is more interesting with the use of the resources provided through this donation. Instruction is supported with a variety of activities and students can take additional work home for more skills practice. Thank you so much for our generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Mureria

    This classroom project was brought to life by Kia and one other donor.

  • Visual and Collaborative can Overcome Language Barriers

    Funded Jan 11, 2013

    I wish to thank you for your generosity towards my science class supplies. Your donation helped purchase charts, variety of paper and markers which have made learning for my students to be more fun.

    My visual learners are happy to present their knowledge in a form that they enjoy most and my English language learners have found it easier to grasp ideas when they are presented in a visual form. The expressions on these students face when they grasp the content is priceless!

    On behalf of my students, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your kindness.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Mureria

My students range from 14 to 20 years of age, boys and girls who speak a variety of first language. They attend an urban high school within the poorest region of the city. 72 % are English language learners and 84% are economically disadvantaged are on free or reduced price lunch, yet their thirst for knowledge is well above these percentage levels. These students work effectively collaboratively because learners who share a first language assist each other with translation. They learn better when they see or represent their work as visuals. Due to the high poverty levels, these students lack basic supplies like paper and pen. It is a challenge for most of them to afford chart paper, markers and other supplies that support collaborative learning. Dry erase markers are very effective in involving all to participate in class because I have improvised "dry erase charts" that all can use to show their response during class discussions. This strategy supports differentiated instruction.
