  • Unleash the Full Potential of Mathematicians with Math Centers

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donation of math manipulative for our learning centers. Your contribution has significantly impacted our kindergarten classroom and will positively influence our students' education for years.

    These tools have been invaluable in helping my students visualize abstract math concepts, laying a strong foundation for their future skills. The excitement among my kindergarteners is evident as they engage in learning activities, using the manipulatives to express their thinking in various ways.

    The place value chart, in particular, has been instrumental in helping them understand teen numbers. Scholars are more enthusiastic than ever, sharing their ideas on magnetic boards with number bonds, ten frames, or play dough. This project has provided the perfect resources for building their understanding of numbers 11 to 20, which is crucial for enhancing their addition and subtraction skills. Your generous contribution has also helped them articulate their thoughts more clearly.

    Thanks to your support, we have seen a remarkable improvement in their assessments. Your donation has a lasting impact on their lives and education, and we are deeply grateful for that.

    Thank you once again for your invaluable support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shao

  • Sparking a Lasting Love for Literature

    Funded Jan 13, 2025

    I would like to express my gratitude to the Hagedorn Fund for supporting my efforts to create a library that will inspire scholars and foster a lifelong passion for literature and reading. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on their lives. Thank you for demonstrating the power of kindness and empowering my scholars to become proficient readers.”

  • Celebrating Lunar New Year with Traditional Window Paper-Cuttings

    Funded May 15, 2024

    We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your life-changing donation. Your generosity has profoundly impacted my scholars, who were deeply moved by your gesture. Inspired by your example, they intend to pay it forward and spread love in their communities.

    Your supplies have helped my 3rd-grade scholars tap into their creativity and imagination. They have also incorporated their own cultures into their artworks. Some even created artwork as gifts for their loved ones, and they were so happy and proud of their creations.

    Your gift has also changed my scholars' perspectives toward the arts. By exposing them to this project, they can develop culturally relevant perspectives by appreciating and recognizing that different nations might speak different languages and have different cultures, but we have commonalities. We use art to communicate love and emotions. I will use the remaining supplies with my kindergartners to create Mexican artwork.

    Your actions have influenced my scholars and helped them grasp the true essence of kindness. Your contribution has truly made a difference in their lives. We all hope you will continue to support our projects in the future.

    Thank you once again for your generosity.”

  • Ignite the Passion for Learning

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    I am grateful for your support of Ignite the Passion for Learning Project to celebrate the New Year. When I presented the four packages, they were shocked and overjoyed that strangers, Con Edison Company and Ms. Lohmann, supported their education. Because of your caring act, they learned to be kind. They shared the materials with another 2nd-grade class. We ended the day with two smiling classes.

    This STEM project also changed my students' perspectives toward math. I have never seen the excitement and eagerness to do the math. Through this project, they had an opportunity to use their creativity to design floor plans and imaginary Gingerbread houses as engineers. Thank you for teaching my students that math can be fun!

    Again, thank you for your contributions; my students have an opportunity to experience success! When I took their pictures, they proudly presented their creative work; even the shy students requested me to record their creative moments. Because of your support, my students' confidence has flourished. We hope that you can continue supporting our learning.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shao
