  • Creating Enduring Readers and Writers in these Modern Times

    Funded Nov 27, 2023

    I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the generous donation of headsets, sticky notes, colored papers, whiteboards, markers, pencils, pens, and more to our English class. Your contribution has had a profound impact on the learning experience of my students, and I want to share with you how these resources have benefited them.

    The addition of headsets to our classroom has revolutionized the way my students engage with their coursework. With individualized, self-paced learning, students have the freedom to progress through our reading lessons at their own speed, allowing them to delve deeper into topics of interest or spend extra time on areas where they need reinforcement. The elimination of distractions enables them to focus fully on their work, leading to increased productivity and improved academic outcomes.

    Furthermore, the ability for students to listen to music while working has been incredibly beneficial. Music has been shown to enhance concentration and mood, making the learning environment more conducive to effective studying and creativity. Many students have expressed how much they appreciate this opportunity to personalize their learning experience and find motivation through music.

    The introduction of sticky notes, colored papers, whiteboards, and markers has transformed our classroom into a dynamic and interactive learning space. These tools have facilitated a wide range of activities, from individual reflection to collaborative group work. Students are actively engaged in hands-on learning experiences that cater to diverse learning preferences and interests. As a result, participation levels have soared, and students are more enthusiastic about their studies than ever before.

    Lastly, the provision of new pencils and pens may seem like a small gesture, but it has made a significant difference in the quality of students' writing activities. Having access to reliable writing utensils ensures that students can fully express their thoughts and ideas without interruption, fostering confidence and pride in their work.

    Those students who are quite shy and love to listen to music enjoyed the headsets so much while they were reading and accomplishing their tasks. Those students who are not big fans of repetitive reading and writing tasks, benefited from the supplies as they mentioned that they have enjoyed the interactive lessons because of the provision of the supplies. Moreover, those students who have that zeal for competition were nurtured in our healthy competitive group games.

    Dearest donors, I want to extend my sincerest thanks for your generosity and support. Your donation has empowered my students to become more active and independent learners, fostering a love for learning that will stay with them for years to come. Your impact on our classroom community is immeasurable, and we are truly grateful for your contribution. May you be blessed with the power and grace of words, and I wish for your continued success and happiness in life.”

  • Making Reading and Writing Dope!

    Funded Mar 9, 2024

    Creating projects out of donations is never easy. However, I am simply in great awe and deeply grateful for all your overwhelming support and help! You, all, are amazing! My students are excited to know this wonderful news, and I can't wait to share this with them!

    Through this funding, initially, my students will be more motivated to learn and attend school as they have the hope that many people are willing to help them become successful students. From that extrinsic motivation, we hope that they grow that invincible intrinsic motivation for them to become enduring readers and writers in these modern times. From that, too, we hope they become effective communicators in the society they thrive in, be it oral or written.

    Mahalo! May you all be blessed with the power of words in your lives!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cabusas
