  • Can You See and Hear Me Now?

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    Thank you so much for providing my students and I with such a generous gift so that we could engage in distance learning. Receiving a new and reliable MacBook enabled us to Zoom with less disruptions and allowed me to prepare lessons with ease. The MacBook made live instruction more enjoyable because I was able to run programs, screen share and create breakout rooms all of which I could not do with my outdated technology.

    Thank you for giving my 24 preschool students and I a new perspective on distance learning!”

    Thank you all so much for supporting my preschool class! The wooden table has made such a huge impact on my students' learning. They are able to work on their writing tasks with ease because the table is the perfect size for them.

    Funded Dec 6, 2019

    Thank you so much for bringing such joy to my students by supporting our classroom project. The materials you helped purchase for my classroom brought such excitement to my students and made fine motor activities more enjoyable. My preschool students were so excited to see their writing and art displayed on our classroom clothesline. They enjoy pointing out their work to their parents, siblings, friends and school staff.

    My class loves using the tweezers to grab magnetic letters and numbers, pom poms, buttons, beads and foam shapes during center time. Thank you for your generosity!”

  • Listening For Our Kindergarten Students

    Funded Sep 15, 2014

    I can't begin to express my appreciation to each of you for helping to bring our classroom project to life. You've provided a wonderful gift to my class and the impact has been significant. Now that we have received the listening center our classroom has been transformed into an engaging multimedia wonderland of learning.

    The students are eager to access the listening center during their independent work time. Small groups are benefiting from the DVD/listening center since they can now access Math and Language Arts DVDs on their own.

    Thanks to your incredibly generous donation we are marching forward with interactive learning.”

  • No More Bully-garten

    Funded Jul 25, 2012

    I cannot begin to express my appreciation to each of you for helping to bring our classroom project to life. You have provided a wonderful gift to my class and the impact has been significant. Our classroom has become more engaging now that we have received the books, laminator, pouches and magnets.

    The students are always eager to listen to and discuss our new books. The Ant and the Big Bad Billy Goat and Billy Bully have become very instrumental in identifying and dealing with the act of bullying. These books have helped bring awareness to the epidemic of bullying and how to deal with it. It has brought a new perspective into the classroom because the children have realized it is wrong to bully their peers and are actually preventing it themselves.

    The laminator and pouches have been a tremendous addition to the classroom. It has cut down on the number of supplies I use and leaves more for other teachers. It also helps keep the "little artist" from drawing their next masterpiece on material that needs to be shared throughout the classroom. I cannot forget to mention how much easier it is to keep things clean and crisp. I use the laminator on anything that needs to be passed around or kept for future use. The laminator and pouches have preserved our classroom materials, especially our sight word flashcards and number cards. Students enjoy reviewing their sight words daily during independent work time and they absolutely love to put numbers in order.

    As for the magnets, thank you! I can use them all around the classroom. When all of my eight arms are being used, the magnets give me two more. I'm just kidding about the eight arms but the magnets give me more flexibility and allow for the children to have fun while learning which makes my job a whole lot easier.

    There are so many words but none more fitting than, thank you. The opportunity provided to me through the Donors Choose program has provided my classroom with new resources and more importantly time to spend with the children. These new resources empower me to continue with the enjoyable task of teaching the young minds of tomorrow.”

My students are my inspiration. Every year I am impressed with the promise and excitement that my students show. Some people might call my students "at risk",but they are still just children with nothing but HOPE and promise no matter where they go to school. Such resolve and dedication is exemplified by my students to want to be an active learner admits the sirens from police cars and other emergency vehicles, and occasional school lock-downs.
