• Spark Your Imagination

  Funded Sep 9, 2021

  Thanks to your generosity and thoughtfulness, my students and I are overjoyed with supplies we will received. This Lego educational set designed for storytelling, which includes a variety of unique bricks and characters as well as three base plates and five double-sided background activity cards with inspirational teaching ideas. Students can write stories that they have created at school using concrete materials. Let's spark a child's imagination using creative materials.

  Now, my students will have hands-on materials that will promote creativity, imaginative storytelling, and language development with unique and engaging storytelling settings. Children will naturally collaborate and develop speaking and listening skills as they build their stories and role-play. Therefore, students can learn from their mistakes and improve their designs. The Lego set can also be incorporated during STEAM projects to fulfill the Art requirement. For each project, students will go through the design process step-by-step as they plan their design and create their model, make improvements, and reflect on what they've learned.

  Again, thank you for generosity and support. It's people like you who make a huge difference in education. A heartfelt thanks for your generous donation!”

• Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

  Funded Oct 26, 2018

  Thank you so much for your GENEROUS donation! We are GRATEFUL BEYOND WORDS! The students are putting the materials to GREAT use. We are using these materials during center time. Reading Comprehension Bundle is being used daily during reading centers to enable students to analyze texts for richer reading comprehension! This bundle includes high interest, complex texts and grade appropriate activities that encourage close, deliberate reading in a variety of genres.

  These reading centers will encourage students to examine author's purpose, determine theme, cite text evidence and more. The reading bundle is addressing the needs of all students during differentiated instruction. The bundle also Includes reproducible assessments and teacher's cards to make measuring student progress a breeze and simple for the students as well. Now, Reading is fun and interesting for all students!

  Thank you one again for your generosity. I will continue to use Donors Choose and post new projects to obtain more resources for my students and future students.

• Ready to Learn Math & Science

  Funded Feb 28, 2017

  Thanks to your generosity and thoughtfulness, my students and I are overjoyed with supplies we received like the headphones, crayons and seat organizers. These learning tools would help keep students organized, excited about learning and engaged in the learning process.

  Now, my students will use their headphones, crayons and seat organizers to review mathematical concepts as well as use hands-on math centers. They will work in groups to build upon basic skills like multiplication, division, and fractions, which in later years will lead to mastery of everything from proportions, number lines, and adding and subtracting integer; to order of operations, evaluating expressions, employing function tables, and solving complex equations. They will also use the headphones at computer lab to do interactive programs.

• Smart Learning in Mathematics & Science

  Funded Jan 31, 2017

  Thanks to your generosity and thoughtfulness, my students and I are overjoyed with the Math Game Folders . The students will be using the Math Game folders during Math Club on Wednesday's and daily while working independently in classroom in Math Centers. Students will also be using toner for the printer to do research in mathematical and scientific concepts learned throughout the school year. Students are now excited and engaged in the learning process.

  Now, my students will use the interactive math games to review mathematical concepts as well as use hands-on math centers. As they compete with each other, students will build upon basic skills like multiplication, division, and fractions, which in later years will lead to mastery of everything from proportions, number lines, and adding and subtracting integers; to order of operations, evaluating expressions, employing function tables, and solving complex equations.

• Lecture Learning!

  Funded Nov 6, 2015

  My students and I are extremely grateful and elated that we finally have interactive Math and Science Stations in our classroom. Everyday, my students come to school with a huge smile and an enthusiasm that words can not express. They truly enjoy exploring Mathematics and Science through Power Stations in the classroom.

  Now, students to have a chance to experience creativity and inquiry in the classroom. Students will see that what they are learning extends beyond our classroom walls, and they can apply their learning to real life situations. The science learning centers allow students to work at their own pace to identify parts of an insect, sequence of the water cycle, explore the solar system, analyze animal adaptations, compare states of matter, categorize simple machines, and classify animal groups. Having more hands-on center based activities will allow for more actual time interacting with materials and each other instead of direct teacher instruction. During Math and Science Club, students using Power Pens and Power Pen Learning Cards to help them improve their math and science skills.

• Motivating Math Stations

  Funded Jan 8, 2015

  My students and I are extremely grateful and elated that we finally have interactive Math Stations in our classroom. Everyday, my students come to school with a huge smile and an enthusiasm that words can not express. They truly enjoy exploring Mathematics through Math Stations in the classroom.

  The laptops and learning Math games are being used daily during Math Stations. Students can review and explore new Math concepts being taught in classroom as well as explore new learning apps. Students can also use programs such as I-Ready and Reflex Math to prepare for State Exams. Students are also learning to cooperatively work together using the Mathematical learning games.

  Technology and learning tools has changed how I teach and how student's are learning. It has enhance our classroom learning centers by helping create and capture meaningful experiences, support inquiry and expand learning from paper and pencil to interactive learning with technology.

• Future Tech Wizards

  Funded May 18, 2014

  Thanks to your generosity and thoughtfulness, my students are over joyed with six mini apple i-Pads to use as learning tools in the classroom. The numerous learning apps and Internet programs used during math centers help keep the students excited and engaged in the learning process. With only four computers in the classroom and twenty-five students in the morning and afternoon, this project made it possible for more students to have access to technology in the 21st Century.

  During math centers, students get to explore the world wide web and use learning apps to challenge them to use critical thinking skills and prepare them for the new Florida State Standards in Mathematics. They can also explore math internet programs that compete nation wide in mathematics. How wonderful is that!

  The project, "Future Tech Wizards", will prepare my students for the world of technology we live in and provide them with endless learning opportunities. Thanks again for supporting education and bringing the love of learning back to the classroom.”
