Build Future Readiness Skills!
Funded Mar 12, 2024I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions to our DonorsChoose project, "Build Future Readiness Skills." Thanks to your support, our school received a Hummingbird robotics kit, which has been an invaluable addition to our fourth-grade curriculum. This kit allowed our students to engage in hands-on learning experiences that not only sparked their creativity but also equipped them with essential 21st-century skills.
One of the highlights of our year was the "Ecosystem Zoo Project," where students researched animals and brought their findings to life by creating dioramas that moved, lit up, and even played sounds—all made possible by the robotics kit. It was incredible to watch their faces light up as they combined art, science, and technology to create these interactive displays. Your donation has made a lasting impact on our students, fostering a love of learning and preparing them for future success.
Thank you once again for your support and for helping us create such memorable and educational experiences for our students.”

Creatively Tinkering
Funded Nov 30, 2022My students and I really appreciate your generosity. With your funding, my students are now able to create lots of different projects using many of the safety items that were purchased from this donors choose I feel much safer as their classroom teacher that their hands are protected with the gloves, safety scissors, and safety knives. My steam team, especially uses these materials. Just this past month, the entire fifth grade made projects out of hot glue and cardboard. This project would not have been possible without the safety items purchased from this. Thanks!”

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 15 other donors.Glowing with STEAM
Funded Feb 19, 2022Fifth grade students enjoyed a glow day in their math classroom this past spring. They played several games utilizing the materials that you helped to purchase. For example, students were able to play all different kinds of games with the glow paint and glow tape. Black light as well as room darkening shades were used to create a super exciting environment for the students!
This is the teacher that I was working with to create this project said that her students were super engaged and requested future times utilizing a glow day. I'm looking forward to working with this teacher in the future to create more global themed activities to help boost student engagement and morale .
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!”

Creativity in a Click
Funded Dec 17, 2021The students at Stewart Elementary are enjoying so many engaging activities thanks to you! With the Donors Choose gift card, I was able to support many of the teachers that I coach to try out many types of project based learning and or differentiated lessons that support all learners. I have used the gift card to purchase science labs and stem related activities. Just recently I have made math choice boards to engage fourth and fifth grade learners. When the kids are engaged and having fun, they don't even realize that they're learning.
Many thanks!”

Protecting the Future
Funded Dec 2, 2021Your donation of ipad cases has greatly improved my classroom so much! The students have even commented about how neat it is to have the cases. They really enjoy that you can stand the ipads up while they are working on them. For example, the students have been working with robots in conjunction with the ipads. The cases provide ease in transporting the ipads for walking around the school and even just transitioning between the table and floor. It's great to see the students using these daily and that I feel more at ease that the ipads within the cases are protected for many years to come.
Much appreciated!”

Funded Jul 13, 2021Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card. I have been using this gift card to purchase fun and engaging materials for my students. The materials have ranged from interactive technology using the Google platform to different STEM activities.
Last week for example, students were using STEM boxes that I had created from the teachers pay teachers gift card. The students were collaborating with each other and working together as a team to solve a common problem. Kids were truly learning from one another while applying math and science concepts to the designs that they were creating.
Without your donation, I'm not quite sure that I would have been able to purchase so many engaging activities for my students so early on in the school year. Thank you so much. My students and I thank you so much!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and 5 other donors.Tools for Tinkering
Funded Aug 12, 2021Your generous donation has helped my students imaginations grow! With the supplies donated to my classroom, I was able to build a Lego wall for my students to "tinker " with while they're in my Makerspace.
The numerous books that were donated are beginning to be loved by many fourth and fifth graders. These books will be used to help set the stage for many engineering based challenges as well as inspire all students to be engaged in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The books are also designed to inspire creativity so tie in to the newly designed Lego wall.
Finally, the remaining supplies will be used for STEM challenge bins for students in my STEM Playground activity days. These stations are designed for students to creatively interact with different mediums and challenges in the engineering design process.”

Funded Jun 23, 2018Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. I have used your generous donations to organize my classroom in such a way to foster a safe learning environment. I have used other materials to make many activity that reinforce the material that I am currently teaching. I'm not a worksheet only math teacher! My students are always up and moving around when they're learning in my classroom. Many of the supplies you have donated let my students enjoy the activities that I make all while learning math. Your donation is much appreciated and my students continue to thrive because of your help!”
