Help Brighten My Students Life to Help Them Learn!
Funded May 4, 2022My students and I truly appreciate your help with all the materials. We are grateful to have access to a color printer in the classroom. I am able to print reading and science resources for my students to refer to and study with in color. It is more engaging for them and as a result will be able to preform better.
I have noticed that the students are more motivated and utilize the reference sheets more frequently since it is in color. I also use the printer to print vocabulary in color and classroom printable educational posters so it will be more visually appealing.”

Funded Jan 12, 2022My students were extremely excited to know that our project was funded! Thank you so much! The look on their faces said it all.
When the boxes arrived, all of the students helped me take out all the materials from the boxes and were so appreciative with your generosity. It is comforting to know that I have all these extra materials in class that are brand new in case a student forgets their materials or have lost it. Also, I love having all the Clorox wipes to disinfect the class. I am able to continue to keep my students safe and healthy as much as I can so they will not miss a day in school.
I have plans on using the highlighters next week on a writing assignment were they have to search for figurative writing and highlight it so we can review as a class together. I am so very grateful for your donations and thank you again.”

Teachers Pay Teachers to the Rescue!
Funded Mar 16, 2021I really want to thank you for providing me with a teachers pay teachers gift card that I was able to purchase resources for my distance learning students. I was able to use the gift card to purchase online review games for state testing. The students loved playing the review games and made learning and reviewing the material they learned more enjoyable in distance learning. I was also able to purchase an end of the year virtual memory book for the students to complete and share with the class. The students particularly loved this activity because they were able to reflect on this school year and the challenges that they faced through distance learning and how COVID had an impact on each individual student.
I really want to thank you all for donating and providing me the opportunity to differentiate learning and purchase resources that engaged my students.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Chevron Fuel Your School.Help Feed Our Scientific Curiosity
Funded Oct 2, 2017We are so very grateful for your generous donation. It is because of you that has helped my class have technology items to help them better understand science concepts and become life long learners.
The Human Body and Space Technology items have helped my students become interested in these abstract Science concepts. When they finish their work early they gravitate towards those two items. They are able to learn about concepts they don't know and it has also grown a big interest to learn about concepts we have not learned in class yet. It teaches them how to research independently about items they are curious about in their new I-Pad.
Also, they love their new electric sharpener and the ink to the color printer has come in use when we do class projects and need a certain picture in color. Again, we can't thank you enough!”

Investigate, Capture It and Share It!
Funded Oct 7, 2016Thanks to you we are able to construct graphs on the computer and print it out in our brand new color printer. The students love the end result and ability to represent their data from our science experiments using the printer. The students absolutely love our class digital camera. They enjoy taking pictures of our class events and uploading the pictures in our class website so the parents can take a peek in our classroom.
The students are most excited about using our digital camera. They enjoy taking the pictures and being able to upload and write about what we did in the particular lesson, science lab or field trip we took. They also like that I am able to use the color printer to print out class Math Vocabulary Words in color.
Overall the entire class and I are extremely grateful for your generosity and are lucky to have access to a color printer, digital camera, and electric sharpener!”

Help Feed Our Creativity With Technology!
Funded Oct 10, 2014Thank you so much for funding all the technology resources for our classroom. The students faces were priceless when the boxes arrived and they were especially thrilled to find out that we now have a class color printer and a class I PAD.
We have used to I PAD to practice Math skills using a Math educational application. The students love it! We absolutely love the color printer! I was able to print pictures of the students when we made models of cells. I displayed the pictures of the students holding their cells on the bulletin board. I also printed out color certificates and displayed them outside our classroom for a challenging activity I had assigned the students to complete. The students were proud of their certificate and loved that the certificates were in color! The headphones are awesome, it was the perfect replacement to our broken, old headphones.
Thank you once again, with your donations your have not only supplied my class with new technology items, but also inspired and encouraged my students. My students now want to behave well and finish their work because they want to work with our class I PAD. They also want colored certificates displayed so they are encouraged to reach for the stars!”
