Spreading Cultural Appreciation
Funded Aug 19, 2023My students have enjoyed using all of the materials you helped provide for them! They are able to get up and move around the classroom and hallways while doing their assignments by using the clipboards. They have also enjoyed playing the card games while learning a new language!
Music fills our hallway during every passing period with the portable speaker. I am able to provide a warm and inviting environment as they enter my classroom.
The biggest impact was used for our Spanish Club's 'Mummy and Me' dance. We invited members of the community to a dance hosted at our school to raise money for our club. We used the decorations throughout different areas of the school for the event. We also provided other fun things such as glow sticks for each family. None of this would have been possible without your support!”

Funded Nov 5, 2022With all of the materials I have received, I have been able to provide a learning environment that captures the attention of my students, and keeps them engaged. In many of the books I have found numerous new ideas for activities that enrich my students' learning. They enjoy reading stories in Spanish, and putting on the skits in front of the class.
The resource my students were the most excited about was the Jenga games. They enjoy learning while they play, and they are more willing to participate. They always request to play this game and the other games I have been able to make with the card stock I received.
I have been able to hang up a few of the inspirational posters, and am planning to have my Spanish club members hang the others in the hallway to brighten it up and pique other students' interests into learning the language. Thank you again for all of these wonderful resources you have provided for me and my students.”

Funded Feb 4, 2022It has been wonderful to see how my students' faces light up when they find their name on the new birthday poster. They feel like they are important to me, and this helps build rapport with them. They are able to feel welcome in my classroom, and I am able to provide the best learning environment for them.
The privacy dividers have worked wonders! My classes have many students in them, and they don't have a lot of room. These dividers provide a space for them when taking exams. It also helps prevent the spread of germs!
I have made many new signs for my classroom, and they are used daily! My students are able to quickly locate a needed verb or vocabulary word that they can use in a conversation. I have also made several games and hands on activities. My students have made comments about how much they enjoy my class because they don't sit and look at a computer the entire time. They are able to use manipulatives to enhance their learning.”
