Funded Aug 14, 2024Thank you again for making one more of my projects possible! I couldn't be happier knowing my students have access to many materials they need on a daily basis. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and needed in education. My students have been able to set up additional notebooks to show their work and track their progress thanks to the notebooks you purchased for them. They also have engaged in researching and publishing their work using markers, crayons, pencils, color paper, etc. I have also been able to print colorful and appealing helpers and resources for the classroom.

Phonics Fun!
Funded Nov 25, 2023Dear Mr. Harney,
Thank you so much for helping me get all the instructional materials I need in order to help my students achieve educational goals. I couldn't be happier for my students! They love to use these hands on engaging materials. Every time I tell them they can practice decoding and writing new words using the games, they show me their biggest smiles.
I have noticed my students need engaging and tangible materials to understand and learn English as a new language. My students really benefit from having all these resources available in my classroom. These materials are used during small groups as a way to practice early literacy skills, teamwork, on task behaviors, and independent work. I also like to teach my students to take care of the materials so other students can benefit from them in the future.
Again, thank you for donating one more time to one of my classroom projects, you are really making a big difference in the future of many students.
Your support is greatly appreciated, and I am so proud of all the growth I see in my students.”

Motivation = Engaged Students
Funded Sep 20, 2023I am so grateful for all your support and for your generosity in funding this classroom project. My students are over excited every time they get rewards because they are really getting the toys they like. Getting rewarded definitely boosts their motivation to participate, to stay on task, and to follow expected behaviors in the classroom. They are always looking forward to getting squishies, playdough, stickers, or a lollipop.
They have been working really hard to get these rewards and of course their learning has improved. It has been so beneficial having all these rewards available for my students, and I cannot thank you enough for supplying us with these amazing items.
My students have been more engaged, and it definitely shows compared to the beginning of the school year. They are always participating and making sure they are following expectations to get these amazing rewards. Thank you again for your kindness, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.Ink Refill
Funded Apr 6, 2023Once again thank you for helping my students get all the materials they need to be successful. With your generous donation, my students are able to use color printed resources that are pleasing and helpful for their learning. I have used the ink you donated to print reading helpers for my students where they can refer to a list of vocabulary words with pictures so they can learn and use new English vocabulary.
Also, I have printed large color pictures for my lessons to help my students connect what is written in the words. I am so thankful for your generosity and willingness to help others. My students have most of the basic materials they need in school thanks to many donors like you. I know helping others is so satisfying and rewarding, and seeing students who are ready to learn using those materials is greatly appreciated.
I would like to share that the ink you donated to my classroom is being utilized for that specific purpose of providing access to color materials and helping my students learn English. Moreover, having a color printer in the classroom ready to print color materials is very convenient. I feel that I am ready to print anything my lesson calls for, and having that peace of mind that I can do it right there and then it's priceless.
Thank you for making this project possible! Having the printer ready to print in color is so helpful, and I am so grateful you decided to help my classroom.”

Here We Go, Back to School!
Funded Aug 2, 2023Once again, thank you for all your support in funding another one of my projects. Every September, I like to request basic supplies so I can have them available for my students because I know not everybody is able to afford the price of these supplies. Many of my students come to school with a backpack, one notebook and a pencil, but thanks to your generosity I can set them up with all the basic supplies they will need for the rest of the school year.
My students use these supplies every single day, and I want you to know that your generosity has had an amazing impact in my classroom. Thanks to your willingness to help, my students have all the basic materials they need such as pencils, erasers, markers, colored pencils, etc.
Thank you so much for helping my students and me all this time. We are truly thankful because your support is making a big difference in the life of my students and in the world.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and one other donor.Comfy Groups-Focused Work
Funded Aug 31, 2023Thank you so much for your support and for making this project come to life! I couldn't be happier to receive the stools and dry erase board to set up my small group instruction.
My students need to work in small groups on a daily basis in order to practice reading skills. When I read that Donorschoose was matching furniture projects, I couldn't wait to post a project requesting these supplies for my students.
My students were so excited to see me unpack the boxes, and set up the back of the classroom for them. It has been so amazing to see my students use and enjoy these materials every day. I appreciate that you made this possible for my students this school year and for my future classes. Again, I appreciate all your support, and I am so grateful for your generosity.”

This classroom project was brought to life by LOFT.Heads Up, We Need Headphones Please!
Funded Nov 3, 2022Once again thank you for helping my students get all the materials they need to be successful. With your donation, my students are able to use many of the educational online accounts we use in the classroom. I used to borrow headphones from my colleagues all the time, until I realized I should probably have a classroom set for my students as well. Thank you for making this project possible! Having the headphones available in my classroom is so convenient and helpful. My students use Raz Kids, Imagine Learning, Khan academy among other educational websites. They also take online assessments such as Mclass and Successmaker. Another amazing use is "talk to text" and "translation services" in the Ipad to help with English acquisition and research. I am so grateful you decided to help my classroom one more time.”

Back to School Organization!
Funded Sep 20, 2022I am so thankful for your generosity and willingness to help others. My students have most of the basic materials they need in school thanks to you. I know helping others is so satisfying and rewarding, and seeing students who are ready to learn using those materials is greatly appreciated.
I would like to share that all the materials you contributed to my classroom are being utilized by my students. One special project my students completed using the colored paper and the sharpies was "Identity Portraits". They wrote some descriptive sentences and created a fun and colorful portrait to express who they are and how they think the world sees them. Now these Identity Portraits are hanging in a clothesline in the classroom so my students Another use I have been giving to the colored paper, is printing the spelling words every week so my students can practice them. I find that it is more attractive to read the words on colored paper than on a plain white piece of paper.
Another important basic material in the classroom is the nameplates I requested in this project. I was also able to label each student's desk and now they have a resource available at all times where they can check how to form uppercase/lowercase letters correctly, use the hundreds chart to solve math problems, and double check what to include in their sentences to make them grammatically correct.
Since the materials arrived late September, I didn't give out the water bottles as a welcome back to school present, but I reserved it for the holidays. In December when I was giving out these water bottles, I told my students that all of these water bottles and stickers had been donated with many of the other materials we are already using in the classroom (sharpener, pencils, wipes) My students were so happy to receive a Christmas present, and couldn't believe somebody donated all of these materials for them.
Again, I appreciate all your support and your generosity.”
