  • Mental Health Cafe Part 2

    Funded Sep 25, 2024

    Thank you for your contributions to my classroom. As teenagers, my students often feel overwhelmed by their daily obligations. My students are using the futon couch to relax and take mental health breaks when needed. They are using the stress to stress ball as a way to find ways to de-stress.

    When my students first saw the futon couch, they were extremely excited.

    The next steps for my classroom is to continue to find ways to allow my students the opportunity to relax in my class when needed. It is my goal to ensure that my students have the tools that they need to achieve, starting with positive mental health.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Jackson

  • Mental Health Cafe

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    Thank you so much for your contributions. As teenagers, my students often come to class hungry and overwhelmed. The resources that you donated allowed me to be able to feed my students when needed. It also allowed them to rest and take a breather whenever they feel tired.

    My students reactions were inspirational when they first saw the snacks. They were extremely appreciative to receive such generous contributions.

    The next steps for my class is to continue to make my classroom a safe haven for my students, by replenishing the snacks as needed.”

  • Say it Loud: English Class Needs a Printer!

    Funded May 10, 2024

    Thank you so much for your donation. My students really appreciate your generosity. The printer was used to create books , which were published. My students feel a sense of pride in themselves.

    Your contributions allow students to achieve their goals. Continue to assist teachers in their endeavors in the classroom. With your donation, you have demonstrated your deep commitment to providing immediate relief to the classroom and education.

    Your donation has played a key role in the success of my students' published work.”

  • Creativity through Reading!

    Funded Jul 14, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to my project. My students were elated to see how much people out there are willing to support their cause. It is not every day that one finds people who are generous and caring. Thank you very much.

    Your donation helped our class publish poetry books. The students were able to illustrate their poems using technology. I service a large ESOL population, where students barely speak English. It was such a joy to see their faces when they were actually able to hold their own published books in their hands, written in English. Thank you so much!”

  • Ell Digital Creators

    Funded Oct 24, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donation! My students and I are grateful for the opportunity that you've provided them with, through your generosity. I can't express how excited we are about utilizing these wonderful gifts.

    The use of technology today is vital to succeed. In my classroom, there are limited functioning laptops. In addition, some of my students do not have access to a computer at home. This makes it hard for them to complete required assignments. Your donation has helped my students accomplish their daily goals through the use of technology.

    The printer has allowed me to print wonderful, colorful activities for the students. Again, thank you so very much!”

  • ELL Eagles Soar With Technology

    Funded Oct 17, 2018

    Thank you so much for the wonderful donation! Having extra computers in the classroom has allowed more students access to the computer-based learning programs that my school uses. The most exciting part about the tablets and laptop that were donated are the beautiful fun colors. Not only that, but now my students do not have to feel bad about not having access to a computer at home. It is difficult to excel in today's world without the use of technology. My students and I will be forever grateful to Donors Choose and Chevron for showing such generosity.”

  • ESOL Readers Soar!

    Funded Oct 23, 2017

    In an ELL class, students must work on listening and speaking skills. Having the ability to listen to stories read fluently helps engage the students. Along with teaching the fundamental skills of phonics and phonemic awareness, I teach my students to love reading.

    Having a listening center has been a blessing in my class. A lot of my students have been in this country for a year or less. Therefore, they do not live in an environment where English is spoken. That is why my students have gravitated toward the listening center when they are done with an assignment. It gives them an opportunity to sit back and enjoy having a good book read to them, without an assignment necessarily attached to it.

    We thank you and your partners, particularly Chevron, for making our wish of having a listening center and classroom library filled with awesome books a reality! Many blessings to you.”

My project is to form a literacy center for my ELL students. Research shows that it is necessary to provide students with multiple opportunities to read and engage in meaningful experiences. Literacy centers facilitate problem-solving because students are able to explore, invent, discover, and create alone or with others at centers (Stone, 1996). A literacy center will assist my students in reaching their literacy goals. A literacy center is a physical area (or station) designated for specific learning purposes. It is designed to provide appropriate materials to help students work independently or collaboratively (with partners or in small groups) to meet literacy goals.
