Technology Set Up
Funded Dec 10, 2024Thank you so much for your incredible gift to our classroom technology project. The kiddos are going to be thrilled to see the new set up and they will be excited that I don't have to write upside down anymore and making backwards "5"s :)
Running small groups is going to be so much easier with these tools so thank you again!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.General Supplies
Funded Aug 8, 2024Thank you so much for the incredible donation. We have been using every bit of supply and new equipment daily. I am able to create resources and the students are able to create projects and even their own resources to aid them in their daily learning for math, reading, and all other subjects!
When I first unboxed the materials, the students were so excited and couldn't wait to get started using everything. I think the favorite item was the new flexible seating. Students take care of them even more so than anything else because they value them!
Thank you again!”

Funded Sep 1, 2023Thank you for your generous contribution to our classroom. Students have especially loved reading the spot emotion series as well as the ninja series. These have helped them better understand their emotions as well as the emotions of their peers.
The kids thought it was Christmas when I showed them the brand new boxes of the book sets! They were so excited and asked me to keep them on the "special shelf" that we keep our really important nice books on.
We will keep working our way through the series and the kids are loving the variety!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Colorado Department of Education.Supplies Galore!
Funded May 9, 2023Thank you again for your generous donation to our classroom. We have started off the year with supplies that have made the beginning of the year projects and activities go very smooth! The students were in awe of the "beautiful" markers and crayons and colored pencils that they got to use to draw a self portrait to present to the class on the first day.
They kept saying how they loved 2nd grade because we have everything we need in our classroom. As a teacher, it made the very hectic beginning of the year time so much easier to have all of the supplies ready to go!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and one other donor.Quality Headphones!
Funded Dec 25, 2022We cannot thank you enough for the headphones. We use them to do our progress monitoring and state assessments on their chromebooks. We like to learn in a variety ways and sometimes exploring, researching, and engaging foreign concepts on a computer opens doors otherwise unimaginable. The biggest impact has been allowing the students to correctly hear their individualized test instructions and feel more confident and less frustrated while using the new headphones.
When we opened the box, the kids all squealed in delight and they were stunned when I told them someone had purchased these for us. They felt very special. After talking about how generous your gift was, they have been taking incredible care of the headphones and treat them like fragile glass!
My favorite part was seeing some kids who couldn't afford to bring in their own headphones put them on the first time. They had become accustomed to wearing the really unpredictable and uncomfortable set that I lent them and they were usually embarrassed that they had to use the "junk headphones" as they called them. Now kids don't want to bring in their own headphones because they like these better and say they work better than their ones from home. The whole class feels like they are on equal playing field now when we are exploring or assessing online.
Once again, thank you so much!”

Supplies, Tech, and Materials for Elementary Kiddos
Funded Aug 10, 2022First of all, thank you SO much for the generous donation. We have been able to use all of the different components that we received for our classroom daily.
As far as the Apple TV, that is probably what we use the most. As a teacher I am able to easily connect and switch between different display technologies. I can show them videos to better explain science and social studies concepts, I can display our math modules from my iPad and then manipulate the pieces from my iPad, I can play music during work time to help their focus, and so much more. Having the AppleTV is the closest thing to having a smart board that we have been able to achieve here at school.
The other supplies have allowed me to make countless math games, social studies projects, reading posters, and science experiments. Students can reuse the material because of the quality card stock and the lamination. This cuts down on time it takes to create multiple copies of things. The bright colors not only bring joy to the students but also help me as a teacher differentiate for the needs in my classroom.
Again, we are forever grateful for your generosity!”
