  • Invisible Ink?

    Funded Nov 19, 2012

    Thank you so very much for your generosity, which made it possible for our class to use our printer to make several projects and written assignments come to life. When I informed the class that we were going to be able to include pictures on their biographies they were thrilled. They were inspired to write and proof read their work so that they could publish it, paste their pictures and print it. All of their writing pieces--creative writing, biographies, book reports, etc.--were not seen as long and laborious tasks, but rather as an opportunity to type and be creative. Thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Medina

  • To Print Or Not To Print

    Funded Oct 9, 2012

    Thank you very much for helping our classroom get resources to use in classroom projects as well as everyday use. My students were very excited to get the new scissors and eagerly kept asking me what project we were going to use them with first!

    We have been using the paper for homework and classroom assignments, while the calculator has helped in calculating and keeping track of our scores.

    These materials have helped our classroom function smoothly as we continue to work on projects without having to worry about having enough materials for certain projects.

    Thank you so very much.”

  • Bully? Tech to the Rescue!

    Funded Sep 24, 2012

    Thank you all very much for your generous donations and interest in helping our classroom attain tools that make our curriculum more accessible through the use of technology.

    Your donation will go a long way in helping my students achieve and be successful to better understand the curriculum. Pulling up an educational video or a particular picture to enforce and supplement our textbooks almost immediately makes learning that much more fun and engaging for our class.

    As an educator, seeing the faces of my students light up with amazement and interest is very rewarding, especially when this interest triggers them to seek more information on their own!

    Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Medina

  • Chuck Berry says, "Bully B. Goode"

    Funded Feb 1, 2012

    Thank you so very much for your generous donation. The books and e-readers we received with your help have definitely spiked reading interest for my students not only about bullying, but across all kinds of subject matter, even for those students who previously showed little or no interest in reading. My students cannot wait to earn time using the readers; they have a lot of fun with them. I can definitely see the enthusiasm the class has using the technology, which increasing their exposure to language and new vocabulary words! Yay!

    It is definitely appreciated to see that people like you take an active interest in our classrooms, which have been hit especially hard as of late by budget cuts. Your donations help alleviate these hardships, especially in underfunded schools such as ours.

    Thank you for making this possible.”

    With gratitude,

I teach 24 wonderful and enthusiastic 3rd-grade students who work very hard in their studies despite the barriers that our poor neighborhood presents. Many of my students are English Language Learners, who find themselves even more disadvantaged due to language barriers.
