    Funded Nov 5, 2021

    Thank you so very much for donating to my project. My students will now be toasty warm in their new hoodies.

  • Learning Responsibility With Chromebook Cases!

    Funded Oct 4, 2021

    My students now have a safe place to store their chrome books. We no longer have to worry about cracking the screens and having damage done to the computers. They are safe from spills and saved from being damaged if they are reopped. In addition, the computers now stay clean and dust free with the cases on.

    I do believe that having these cases on the computers will allow the computers to last for the life of elementary school.https://hub.wilsonacademy.com/sharelink/1b3c7dca-16dd-44ec-91cd-295b6b963eb0r my students. Without the case the computers were dirty, stained, and dusty.”

  • Document Camera Will Make Online Fun!

    Funded May 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for making the document camera come into my classroom. We were able to read books together with our online students at home. They could read alone in the book as I read to them. I was able to share the pictures in the book with the children too. The camera also helped me to test my students who were home in reading. While other teachers struggled to hold the books and test at the same time, I was able to free my hands and test with ease.

    Thank you for making this happen for me and for making my classroom so up to date with technology.”

  • Second Grade Budding Ecologists!

    Funded May 4, 2021

    Thank you for donating to my project. The project planned was to watch seeds grow and bloom in plastic containers. I had to modify my project because the items were back ordered.

    My students planted beans very similar to the original seeds. They were able to draw the seeds as they grew. They were very excited to keep a journal of the growth. We measured the plants and compared each plant to see the tallest growth.

    I believe I have sparked an interest for my student to love plant plants and watch them grow, and smile because they know that they did this by themselves.”

  • Touch Screen Computer for Math Center Hands-on Station

My students can choose which type of objects they want to use to solve each problem. They get so excited solving math problems now. I have never seen so many of my students so excited to do math. This has really changed the dynamics of my classroom. When math class starts my students are happy. Every student is excited to take their turn at the math computer.”

  • Shredding, Recycle, and Growing

    Funded Mar 1, 2021

    My students are learning about recycling items and about some ways we can we can save our land fills.

    I want my students to be aware of how much garbage we generate each day. We can find and renew use for some of our garbage. The shredder can make the paper reusable in my classroom.

    My students will use the shredded paper and create pods and we will add seeds and plant the pods in soil.

    My students will make a herb garden for their mothers for mother's day. I think the parents will enjoy cooking with fresh herbs each day.”

  • Motivation Monday

    Funded Jan 13, 2021

    My students were very excited to decorate their Chromebooks with stickers that they chose to print. They can easily tell whose computer it is now because they have personalized it with their favorite characters.

    My students also exchanged stickers with other students because other students enjoyed the stickers more than they did they sorted by color by character and everyone was happy.

    It was extremely kind of you to bring joy to my students who are very financially deprived. Tiny little stickers brought joy into their lives and I could see it on their faces how much they enjoyed it.”

My students need hands-on activities to help them understand new math concepts. This math kit will help my students with hands-on manipulatives and they will be able to practice with materials, such as clocks, place value chips, and counters. We often have to use paper manipulatives and they are not colorful or exciting for young minds. My students should have the opportunity to experience math problems in an exciting world-class way. This math kit will bring joy to my 2nd grade classroom and will spark an interest in their young minds.
