Organization for the Future!
Funded May 27, 2022I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to our 2nd grade project. It is so nice to have many family members, co-workers and friends that care for our children as much as we do.
Receiving the journal books, ink, and cardstock paper has shed a whole new light on the behaviors in my classroom. Our students are looking forward to write in their journals and are eagerly looking forward to print a picture on the cardstock to go along with writing pieces.
These materials have changed our classrooms atmosphere. The students are actively participating in writing independently, and can't wait to see signs of their work that we are able to print out with the ink.
We wish to thank you all again.”

Funded Dec 1, 2021I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. It is so nice to have many co-workers and friends that care for my children as much as I do.
Receiving the books, ink, pocket charts, and stuffed feelings spots has shed a whole new light on the behaviors in my classroom. My students no longer have to be reminded about good behavior and receiving raffle tickets. Many look forward to taking care of a "spot" during the day and especially to have a reading buddy.

Funded Mar 4, 2020I can't tell you how honored and happy I was to have you help my students get more books for the classroom. The look of joy on my students faces when the books arrived was something you can never forget.
This has taken me a long time to respond and I apologize for that, but under the recent Covid-19 circumstances, the joy of being able to enjoy reading these books together, was taken from us. I have brought the books home with me, and now that we are beginning Distance Learning, I will be reading them to my students online.
I know that if things were different, my students would be borrowing these books everyday. Both Julia Cook and Diane Alber became our favorites class authors this year, and together we enjoyed reading the books.
My students and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hope to one day be able to discuss these books, and how they helped us get through a dififcult time.”

This classroom project was brought to life by A group of anonymous donors and 5 other donors.I Want to Learn on My Own!
Funded Aug 5, 2019I can't tell you how honored and happy I am to have you help my students getting more supplies for the classroom. My students get so excited when boxes arrive in the classroom, especially knowing it is for them.
The new leveled readers are very enjoyable for my lower readers. It has given them new, colorful, and interesting stories that they are able to read by themselves. To see the smiles when they pick a book that is new, shiny, and different than the boring stories that they have taken out over and over again is not only a joy for them, but for me as well.
My students thank you from the bottom of their hearts and hope to make you as proud they make me. They love the new books that we received and can not wait to be able to read them all.
We hope to find more giving people like you to help us in the future.”

Funded Feb 1, 2019My students and I can't thank you enough for your donations to fulfill this project. The excitement on their faces when I told them that the Botley Robots and Jack the Mouse were ours to keep and use in the classroom was priceless. My students couldn't wait to read the directions and start sending Botley1, Botley2 and Jack on their way around the classroom.
They were working cooperatively, helping each other, talking in a very constructive manner, and loving watching the robots follow their commands. From forming a simple square, to intricate ways to get from point A to point B, my students are having a wonderful time learning to code and program their robots.
Thank you again. The difference in my students interest using different applications has increased and I can't wait to see how well their academics improve throughout the year.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose.org Community and 7 other donors.We Want to Write Everywhere!
Funded Mar 14, 2017I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. It is so nice to have many family and friends that care for my children as much as I do.
Receiving the clip boards and pencils has shed a whole new light on writing in my classroom. . My students no longer whine about writing and look forward to sitting on the floor, under their desks, and even going into a corner to put down their words onto paper. Many students who had no motivation during this time are now excited daily.
These materials have changed my classroom atmosphere from dread to enjoyment when the word "writing" is mentioned. The students are actively participating in their own learning, in a community of learners. Students have already shown more of an interest in writing by using these materials.
I hope to share with my colleagues a new technique in learning. Thank you so much. I can't wait to introduce these tools to the children.”

Protect Our Technology
Funded Jun 23, 2016Thank you so much for your donation to this project. You are not only helping my class of 30 students but another 6 classrooms with over 30 students each! I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to this project. The tools that you have funded will not only help our students become more responsible but protect our laptops as well.
My students and the others on my floor have stressed the need to protect our laptops and are happy that they now are. Some have seen what happens without having covers for laptops and now there is no fear in using them everyday to help with their learning. The new covers will help our students, protect the laptops and allow them to have some fun in the process.
Many of our older students on the floor are especially happy to be able to protect the laptops since they were using a cart last year with laptops that were scratched, dented, missing keys, and just "disgusting" as they would say. We hope to find more giving people like you to help us in the future.”

Funded Apr 6, 2016I can't tell you how honored and happy I am to have you help my students get supplies to use in the school yard during recess. When they were told they would be able to play basketball, football, and other "ball" type games they were jumping out of their seats.
The new materials will help my students and all the students at our school to have some fun in the process of being able to play together. The new equipment will definitely make the school year more enjoyable. Unfortunately due to PSSA Testing, bad weather, and now construction on our Fire Towers, we are unable to have recess. Hopefully we will have everything worked out for the new school year.
All the students and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hope to have fun during recess instead of getting hurt. I especially want to thank the Donor's Choose staff as well as the Villanova Wildcats for helping move the funding of this project along. Once the Wildcats won our donations took off!
We hope to find more giving people like you to help us in the future.”
