    Funded Feb 18, 2024

    Thank you very much for your generous donation! I haven't had the opportunity to purchase some items before, especially the books related to Hawaii. I'm sure even my reluctant readers will enjoy the resources. Your donation will contribute positively to not just my class, but my school as well.”

  • Listen and Learn

    Funded Jan 11, 2024

    Thank you for funding my project! The speaker is vital and I've already spent money out of pocket for the classroom this year. The dictionaries are important too since we've become glued to our screens. Reading a dictionary has become a lost art. I'm very grateful for your support.”

  • Let's Practice Our Writing!

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to my project! Your donation will help tremendously this school year. Your help with covering my expenses will make teaching a little less stressful (and not as expensive) for me. I've been spending my own money buying mundane things like ink and paper for school, but your donation will help alleviate those costs.”

After a year and a half of digital learning, we're back in the classroom! We're using pencils and paper instead of staring at our Chromebooks for hours on end. I have a class of 21 students and I try to get them physically writing as much as possible since they've been typing the last 1.5 years. However, printing is expensive. I want to continue giving them physical, printed materials to write on, but the cost of toner is something I never expected to become a problem. Often times I tweak pre-made worksheets or create my own worksheets to meet my students needs, but without toner, I can't differentiate my lessons the way I want to. I bought my own laser printer, which has become a lifesaver since I no longer need to go to school on the weekends or stay late just to print homework or worksheets, and I don't have to worry about the school printer malfunctioning. I've already gone through two toner cartridges and it's been a month since school started. Please help my students and I!
