The Future of Computer Science!

Funded Aug 15, 2024

I can't thank you enough for supporting not only me, but my students and school as well. When I was teaching in my first couple of weeks I only had one marker and no erasers. Once the materials came in, it made my daily teaching so much smoother and the students noticed this as well. Also, I am so thankful for getting a teacher chair that my students can use as well. They love sitting in it and pretending to be me! There were so many other materials such as sticky notes, tape and a stapler that have benefited my students so much already. For example, a lot of my students have projects for other classes and they needed these to complete or add final touches to them.

My school has clear expectations about being prepared for class. One of these expectations is having a writing utensil ready daily to use. I ordered a ton of pencils and pens for my students for this exact reason. There have been so many instances already where my students have thanked me for providing them with a pencil. It's really amazing because I allow them to keep it and have plenty of extras if they misplace them. It seems like such a small thing, but it helps students every single day. Finally, my classroom was lacking in the decoration department and felt dull. The computer science posters I received thanks to you have not only enhanced the atmosphere of my classroom, but provide helpful information for students.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Kaleta
