Overlooked Essentials
Funded Nov 29, 2023Thank you so much for your kind donations. The classroom materials I have received have made my classroom flow better with very few interruptions during crucial instruction time, allowing my students to focus.
Many students have been able to meet their IEP goals and understand their test questions with greater accuracy. My class goes through pencils very fast, so having an abundance of pencils at the students' disposal has made my lessons flow better without a student asking for a pencil every few minutes. Thank you very much again!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Katz

Funded Dec 24, 2020I want to extend a huge thank you for all the wonderful materials you've provided to my students. These materials have really provided my students the means to further their success during this challenging year.
The headphones provided my students an easier way to communicate with me both virtually and in person. For students who are virtual, the headphones help eliminate the background noise, allowing students to hear my instruction more effectively and with greater ease. For my students that are attending school in person, the headphones allow me to conduct small group instruction via Zoom without disrupting the other students who are not in that group, thus allowing for proper social distancing to remain present in my classroom.
The individual dry erase boards have made learning math a lot more fun. Students are excited to hold up their answer on their boards after questions are presented during instruction.
The other items have allowed students to use their own materials such as the notebooks, pencils, glue, and pouch organizers to ensure that they are prepared for class and can still record notes.
Once again, thank you for really helping my students continue their success with these materials in my classroom!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Katz
Enhancing the World of Virtual Learning
Funded Oct 27, 2020The technology you have helped me acquire has been nothing short of tremendous in my virtual classroom setting. I have primarily used the iPad and Apple Pencil to teach fourth grade math. Many of the new mathematical concepts taught this year are extremely challenging for many students. With my iPad and Apple Pencil I have been able to teach my students long division, area model multiplication, the meaning of place value, ordering and comparing numbers, least common multiple, greatest common factor, ordering fractions, and more. These examples are still just a few of what I will be continuing to teach them throughout the rest of the year which will include geometry and mastering adding and subtracting large numbers with decimals. I have also used these tools to teach grammar and essay composition with great ease.
With the iPad and Apple Pencil, I am able to share my screen via zoom and students can clearly see what I am teaching them just as they would if they were in the classroom and I was standing at the front of the room with a SmartBoard or chalkboard. My students have seen here tremendous improvement in my teaching by having these tools. They all love it and it has completely changed my classroom for the better!”
