• To See and to Hear!!

  Funded Sep 23, 2021

  I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the generous gift of the headset and whiteboard stickers. The headset has been a game-changer for my students, providing clarity and comfort when they are sharing their projects. The whiteboard stickers have already proven to be incredibly useful for organizing my students' math and science workspace. By having a larger surface to work with, they are able to better visualize their thoughts and concepts. Your thoughtfulness and support truly mean a lot to my students.

  I'm genuinely grateful for your kindness and consideration. Thank you once again for your generous gesture. It is greatly appreciated!”

• Color My Mathematical World!

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  Using the Epson EcoTank color printer for my middle school math class has deeply impacted my students' learning in several ways. First, I can create vivid, colorful diagrams and charts. The colorful visuals can help students better understand and remember abstract concepts found in surface area, ratios and fractions.

  In addition, I have used different colors to highlight various parts of a problem or solution. I use different colors to represent different steps in solving a ratio problem. This makes the steps to the solution clearer and easier to follow.

  So thank you so much for making my classroom a warmer and kinder math class!”

• Help "PowerMyLearning" Engage Families!

  Funded Nov 3, 2019

  Family Playlists are a primary tool of PowerMyLearning. As a multilingual, mobile-friendly homework assignment system deepened students' understanding . Also, my students practiced skills that filled learning gaps. Both of which I was able to monitor as their teacher.

  PowerMyLearning's Family Playlists strengthened my students' social-emotional learning by having them teach what they are learning to a family partner at home. As a result, students grew in their understanding. Simultaneously, my students were engaging in academic/professional conversations and adjusting their language depending on their audience.”

• Help Us Zoom!

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  These items will make a different in my students' learning in many ways. The 50" TV helped me see my students' faces and gestures on Zoom. Increased visibility helped me better assess their understanding by seeing their non-verbal cues such as eye contact and gestures like shaking their head.

  The whiteboard, it gave me a place to write that is large enough for my students to see on Zoom. The gooseneck tablet stands made a great mount for my iPad and iPhone to use as document cameras.

  Finally, the $200 gift certificate from Teacher Pay Teachers allowed me to purchase online resources for my students. While I have access to the district science curriculum, my students will benefit from having curriculum that meets their specific needs and interests.”

  Funded Sep 16, 2020

  Thank you for my MacBook Pro!!

  The new MacBook Pro allowed me to meet the academic, as well as social-emotional needs of my English Learners, low-income, special needs, and high-risk students.

  With this newer, more powerful laptop, I created intriguing and customizable lessons for my students! With it, I can edit graphics, video, and run apps like Nearpod, Schoology and Minecraft for Education.

  Most importantly, the MacBook Pro has supported my 180 students on Zoom without overheating and freezing. I was able to build a community with my students without being kicked out of my Zoom meetings.”

The hands-on, NGSS Engineering kit, "Outbreak Alert: Engineering a Pandemic Response" which you provided is the perfect response to these questions. Students analyze the spread of a fictional virus and engineer ways to combat it before it takes over the world!!
