• Build a Path with Math!

  Funded May 2, 2021

  Building a path with Math project materials has helped us have access to fun, hands on manipulatives that we use daily during our math instruction.

  The variety of large, magnetic manipulatives allows me to model and teach, knowing that everyone in the class can see from wherever they're sitting. They also offer a fun and engaging way for students to practice their skills as needed.

  Every time we start a new concept and I introduce new materials, my students are excited and eager to try them out.”

  Funded Mar 19, 2021

  Thank you so much for your donation! I truly appreciate the opportunity to provide my students with such a wide selection of multicultural books that will help them elevate their reading skills but most importantly, spark their interest in reading.

• I have a story to tell...

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  Thank you so much for your contribution to my project! Your financial assistance has given my students the opportunity to read and enjoy literature that is typically not found in our school curriculum.

  With this purchase of over two dozen multicultural picture books, I was able to create meaningful lesson plans and activities that my students could make personal, real-world connections to and therefore elevate their fluency and comprehension skills.

  These books now represent the cornerstone of my classroom library and the gateway to my students' love of reading. Thank you once again for helping me establish an incredible and welcoming library.”

• Resilient Remote Learners

  Funded Jul 10, 2020

  As an educator, I've encountered numerous challenges throughout the years however, this year has been exceptionally difficult. The transition to teaching virtually and in-person (at the same time) is definitely an arduous task. Nonetheless, I'm ecstatic to say that the Donorschoose items I received several months ago have played such an important role in establishing a strong learning environment for both groups of students.

  The Elgato stream deck allows me to offer my students a smooth transition between electronic devices. It lets me share materials with them with minimal to no distractions.

  The IPEVO document camera has given me the ability to project all types of materials to my in class and virtual students and the Macbook docking station has helped me connect different devices to my computer with ease.

  Thank you, once again, for your support.”
