Rebalance Chemistry Class!
Funded Jul 19, 2024I can't thank you enough for your generosity! I am extremely grateful, and my students are going to be very excited about this addition to our learning platform. I have created many printed materials but there is lack of physical space, and we are shifting to more digital spaces to save space and paper. These digital resources will reach my students and will be well appreciated by them. Digital accessibility is key to the success of my students and I am trying to instill in them a love of learning. Thank you for your help in this mission!”

Classroom Video and Audio Technology
Funded Nov 11, 2021Thank you so much for funding my Classroom Video and Audio Technology project at Chelsea Career and Technical Education High School! Your generous donation will surely help my students succeed as they readjust to in-person learning! Words cannnot express how grateful I am to you and how appreciative my students are to your gift.”

Funded Dec 2, 2020With the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering schools, all teachers had to shift to online learning. However, Title 1 schools, such as mine, serve underserved populations, many of which have special needs and speak languages other than English. Many of my students are visual learners, and it is not enough for science teachers, like myself, to have students simply read online textbooks and take notes.
In chemistry, the content requires both math and art. Formulas and calculations to determine the mass of an atom are needed just as much as diagrams depicting what an atom looks like. This is where technology like Nearpod brings the content alive and engages the students. The friendly competition among students and teamwork also is apparent even on Zoom.
In addition, my students and I used Nearpod to share and provide feedback live and asynchronously, when we used it for social-emotional learning and mood check-ins. Students felt heard and respected with an option to make their names known or anonymous amongst peers.
Seeing students whooping in delight or cheering is especially heartwarming to see. The past 1.5 years have taken so much emotional toll on students without seeing their extended relatives and friends. The positivity and liveliness through these platforms bring light to all of us in school.
Your donation helped bring normalcy and learning to my resilient students. Thank you so much for your support!”

Funded Jan 1, 2021With the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering schools, all teachers had to shift to online learning. However, Title 1 schools, such as mine, serve underserved populations, many of which have special needs and speak languages other than English. Many of my students are visual learners, and it is not enough for science teachers, like myself, to have students simply read online textbooks and take notes.
In chemistry, the content requires both math and art. Formulas and calculations to determine the mass of an atom are needed just as much as diagrams depicting what an atom looks like. This is where technology like an iPad with the Apple pen, mouse track, and keyboard are invaluable as my digital whiteboards!
Students are finally able to see my engagement and teaching come alive. When they see me draw or write formulas, my students feel like they're in the classroom because they see the whiteboard and my real-time instruction. "Ms. Kim is teaching like in the building!" and "Wow, I feel like I'm back in school." are some of the sentiments I hear on the Zoom calls.
Your donation helped bring normalcy and learning to my resilient students. Thank you so much for your support!”

Funded Nov 16, 2020My students and I are sincerely grateful for the sheep brain and dissection kit you have donated. In my neuroscience class, we were studying brain anatomy; and having a real sheep brain helped illustrate the different regions and subcorticoid areas of the brain.
What would've been a passive, uninspiring lesson activity has transformed into a fun, transformative experience. Science is meant to be a lived experience, not rote memorization. My students were so excited with, "Oh my God!" to "Wow! We get to cut open a brain!" to "I want to study neuroscience/medicine."
With this experience, my students have progressed to brain disorders and how specific damage to a region impairs function. Currently, my students are creating a digital portfolio of their work this past year in my class. You have taken part in my students' journey and their achievements.”
