  • How Can Students Learn if We Can't Hear Each Other?

    Funded Aug 12, 2020

    Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of your generosity. These are very trying times trying to get everything together before the school year, but your generous donations are making it easier for everyone involved. These headphones will do wonders for me to be able to hear all my students, and for my students to be able to hear me. I appreciate your donations more than you know, thank you ♥️.”

  • Help My Students' Participation With White Boards!

    Funded Jul 27, 2020

    I cannot thank you enough for your generous donations for my classroom and students. Distance learning is already going to have so many complications, but these items are going to make it easier.

    The white boards and dry erase markers that I am sending home to my students will do wonders to improve their participation. They will be able to quickly jot down an answer, show their learning in a variety of ways, and this will allow me to check their progress on what we are learning.

    The dry erase board easel will allow me to show examples to the students on my end, and work with them one on one over video chat. When we are back in the schools, that easel will be a huge help for small groups. Thank you all so much.”

  • Distance Learning Beginner's Kit!

    Funded Jul 16, 2020

    Thank you SO much for your generous donations! You have no idea the impact these will have for distance learning. These math resources will help make the virtual math block very effective. The magnetic fraction tiles will show some hands on learning that the students can watch, and when we get back into the classroom they will be able to use them themselves!

    The laptop stand and wireless mouth will assist me in virtual teaching. While I am projecting or using my document camera, I will be able to place my laptop wherever it needs to be. I appreciate your generosity more than you know, thank you for helping the progress of my students' learning.”

  • Help Give My Students Equitable Learning!

    Funded Aug 9, 2020

    Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of your generosity. These are very trying times trying to get everything together before the school year, but your generous donations are making it easier for everyone involved. This microphone and webcam will help my students be able to see and hear the lessons much more clearly, they will be so grateful. Thank you so much. ♥️”

  • Help Me See More of My Students!

    Funded Aug 7, 2020

    Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of your generosity. These are very trying times trying to get everything together before the school year, but your generous donations are making it easier for everyone involved. The monitor will allow me to see my students on one screen while I am teaching a lesson, and the kids LOVE kinetic sand (they don't even realize it's helping them). Thank you so much!”

  • Give My Students Enjoyable Online Lessons!

    Funded Jul 27, 2020

    These Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will change everything for my students! Distance learning will already be extremely challenging in many ways; Student engagement will just add another layer to it. These distance learning lessons will not only help improve student engagement, but will also allow them to have fun- maybe not even realize that they're still learning 😉.

    I've purchased a math bundle with games and practice to cover every math unit this year. I've also gotten a few start of the year activities that will help create excitement and establish classroom community to start the year off! Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity. ♥️”

  • Help My Students Create a School Away From School!

    Funded Jul 22, 2020

    I appreciate your generosity for these items more than you know! The behind the chair storage was out of stock, so Donor's Choose allowed me to replace the items with something that was in stock. I got a mini projector to project live lessons for my kids to teach from, and a book called "Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut" by Denene Millner.

    I am in the process of making the tool kits for the students, check the photos to see how they look! I know the students will be INCREDIBLY excited to have math manipulatives and important charts to use whenever they need them, all wrapped up into one little kit.”

  • Help Me Bring Distance Learning to Life!

    Funded Jul 27, 2020

    Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of your generosity. These are very trying times trying to get everything together before the school year, but your generous donations are making it easier for everyone involved. My students will appreciate the fun of the different backgrounds with the green screen, and they won't even realize they're learning at the same time 😉! Thank you all again. ♥️”

  • Let Students Show Their Learning, 2020 Style!

    Funded Dec 11, 2019

    This iPad has been amazing in my classroom! Because we are very short on computers, there are always a few students that are left without one. This iPad is very versatile and I can use it for many different things. The students have been able use this to get on their intervention websites when we are having computer problems, use it to take pictures of their work, etc.

    My students find it much easier to work on a tablet than they do on a computer, so they have so much more fun working on a tablet, and there is a lot more to do. It has a lot of apps they can use for instructional games, take pictures, visit what they need to on the internet; they can even look up unfamiliar words! This iPad is an amazing start of a class collection that will hopefully start growing.”

These computers will change the entire environment in my classroom. My kids won't be looking at their broken computers that hardly work anymore, they will feel like they get the same opportunities as the rest of the world. Living in an area where most of these students have hardly seen anything but 28th street, having access to working technology can show them that there is so much more in this world than what/where they've always known. While teaching the ancient civilizations, the students will be able to step foot in Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt and explore the land through virtual field trips. They will be able to participate in class review games to help them achieve their goals during assessment, practice for the standardized testing, let them practice typing essays during the publishing stage of the writing process, help them develop skills with technology, and SO MUCH MORE!!!
