Magnific Materials Matter!
Funded Dec 6, 2024Thank you so much for your generosity and supporting our classroom. Without your donations, I wouldn’t be able to get new and improved materials to help my students continue to grow and expand their knowledge. So again, thank each and every one of you who donated to this project!”

A Book a Day Keeps Illiteracy Away!
Funded Sep 28, 2023Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom! We are enjoying our new books and updated reading corner. The kiddos love to sit on our new carpet while I read a chapter every Friday from one of our new books.
This is actually something new that I've started since getting our new books from DonorsChoose. I've found that it is a way to ensure that the students are exposed to many different genres, and types of novels. It has also drawn some students in and they want to read the remainder of the book!
I would not have been able to provide these new books, carpet, and experiences without your generous donation and help! So, again, THANK YOU!!”
With gratitude,

Project Pretty Print
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you for your support and funding of our colored classroom printer! It has been put to such good use already by creating wonderful resources that provide my special education kiddos with extra accommodations and modifications. By having the ability to print in color, it not only brightens the room, but also helps them academically. Being able to see things in color has allowed some of my students with reading difficulties be more successful in their math program as they don't "have" to read to know what to do. It has also helped my kids with math disabilities be able to learn and follow procedures just based off color. It has truly been a blessing and my kids have learned so much thanks to you all!”

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 4 other donors.Social Emotional Learning
Funded Dec 9, 2021This new curriculum that I was able to purchase with your help has provided my students with many new learning opportunities and hands on projects. We've been able to create a more trusting "family" environment within our classroom with the help of the curriculum. I've also had some individual students make a lot of personal gains in relationship to their social emotional needs. That alone is a HUGE accomplishment for all, and again, all thanks to your support.
I would have to say the thing the students get most excited about are the hands on activities. In the past, they didn't have as many chances to learn with this type of approach versus lecture style learning. A lot of students with social emotional needs are what we call "tactile learners", meaning they need to use their hands and/or actually do the skill they're trying to learn in order to master it.
As many people know, students nowadays are very tech savvy. My students loved learning how to use a different version, if you will, of Google. They got to see the educational and lesson side of it and were very excited to learn more. They have asked a few times already if we could do another lesson like our applied digital skills lesson.
Because of these wonderful opportunities that DonorsChoose provides, and amazing donors such as yourself, my students have come a long way since the start of the 2021-2022 school year. I'm excited to see how much more they advance due to your donation to our project!”
