Funded Sep 11, 2013I want to thank you for your donations! The kids were so excited to receive the new white boards and erasers. When I opened the box they couldn't wait for me to hand them out, they all started reaching into the box! They were so excited to have new, clean, unmarked boards! When we used them for the first time there was a collective "wow" from the class because they were able to fully erase their boards. They said things like, "look how clean and shiny my board is," or "my board isn't broken!"
Having white boards that we can use has helped not only the children to stay engaged in my lessons but has also allowed me to assess the students understanding of my lessons informally. It's really important to me that they understand each lesson, so to be able to assess them during each lesson has helped me know who is and isn't understanding my lessons. I ask them during math and phonics lessons to write on their board and hold it up for me to see. This is such a quick way to assess their understanding! It's really helpful that I am able to use this way to quickly asses my students. Our old boards were so stained and broken, we were unable to use them. I can't begin to thank you enough for your donations! It really means a lot to have donors like you supporting our public school students!!!”

Funded Jun 6, 2012Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for your thoughtful donation to my classroom. The computer that we received is being used every day with the children. We are using the laptop for math games, reading online books, letter games, and during phonics instruction. I cannot believe how engaged my young students are during computer time. The laptop has made a HUGE impact in my classroom!
Each year, our schools budget is shrinking and we are unable to buy classroom necessities let alone extras like computers and printers. Without generous donations from donors like you, we would not be able to have technology in our classrooms!
Thanks again for your donation!”
