An Apple a Day For Success
Funded Sep 28, 2022I would like to thank you very much for funding our Ipad Pro 11. The children are over whelmed with the things it's capable of doing. To merely say they have enjoyed using it, is an understatement.
The ipad makes it very convenient to demonstrate/show examples to the class. It's a remarkable teaching and learning tool. The children are actually able to use it in work stations to do their lessons and assessments for iready, zearn, epic, and readworks. They can actually write/type the answers to the questions/quizzed instead of answering them orally.
This ipad is to light and beneficial to the students because they can carry it anywhere around the room with them. I can use it in front of the room on my document camera to demonstrate and model certain assignments and or teach or reinforce new concepts and skills to the students. It's amazing what this ipad can offer to the students.
Teaching with this tool makes the students even more eager to listen, watch, and learn.
Thanks again for your help in funding this project. Your kindness was very much aprreciated and the students will benefit greatly!”

Ms. Paris
Today Readers, Tomorrow Leaders
Funded Oct 7, 2019I would like to thank you very much for funding our fire tablets. The children are overwhelmed with all the things it's capable of doing. To merely say they have enjoyed using them is an understatement.
The tablets make it very convenient for them to complete their required amount of time for their intervention programs for reading and math. It's a remarkable teaching and learning tool. The children are actually able to type the answers to the question instead of answering orally or on paper.
These tablets are very beneficial to the children. They are able to move around the room to complete their assignments instead of seating at their desk or table all day long. It's amazing the amount of time they love to spend on the necessary websites. Using these tablets in small groups, as well as, independently are a life-saver. I can use them to teach phonic skills, grammar skills, and comprehension skills, as well. There are also some wonderful math games for these to complete during work stations instead of always have to complete assignments on paper.
Again, I can't thank you enough to see the enlightment on the students faces while using these tablets. Thanks again for your help in funding this project. Your kindness was very much appreciated and the students will benefit greatly with these tablets.”

Funded Oct 23, 2017Thank you so much for your generosity! You have helped touch the lives of many children, both now and in the future. You are amazing and wonderful to put others first. Thank you for donating to our classroom project. I can't express how much the students were excited and thrilled to finally receive their dictionaries. They immediately took the books out of the box and couldn't wait to open them up to use them for class discussions, group activities, or just to relax and use them independently or with a friend to look up words to spell and find their meaning.
My students and I will put the dictionaries to good use when we are doing group activities, research projects, and vocabulary word meanings. You have made a powerful impact when it comes to getting the proper materials into the hands of students and teachers. The children are overwhelmed with all the things they can use these special books in the classroom. To merely say, they will enjoy using it, is an understatement.
Thank you again for making our day. You have made such an impact in the lives of twenty-four first graders.”

Funded Sep 21, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donation towards making our project a success. The students will be able to use these kindle fires daily as part of their intervention programs for reading and for math. They will be able to use them to research material needed for class projects.
The students are so excited that they have these tablets and can use them in many ways in the classroom. There are many educational games that offer many opportunities for the students to reinforce or enrich their academic capabilities.

Growing the Mind With Books
Funded Mar 30, 2017I would like to thank you very much for funding our set of books. You have touched the lives of many children, both now and in the future. I am sure I will be using these books for many years to come!The children are overwhelmed with the variety of books that they are able to use in our classroom library. They also use them during our reading block at school.
As my students enter my classroom at the beginning of the year, I test them with a San Diego reading list to see exactly where their reading level is at that time. I then begin grouping them accordingly. I teach the phonics first and then move on to higher leveled books according to their reading level.
These books provide a lot of opportunities for each and every child. I ordered sets of different types of books with my students in mind. The students use these books as part of their Reading Book Club, as well as, for entertainment.
I will use these books to teach different genres, specific skills that meet our curriculum/standards, and also for enjoyment of the students as part of their Read to Self program. My students can now enjoy a new literary experience that will help them in the reading process. I cannot thank you enough!
Thanks again for your help in funding this project. Your kindness was very much appreciated and the students will benefit greatly.”
