  • Flexible Seats And Organized Peeps

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you for helping to fund my project. My students will be so thrilled when we get our classroom supplies! Having 50 kiddos share a room can lead to a lot of misplaced books and supplies. The chair organizers wete sorely needed. My kiddos will be over the moon with excitement when they arrive. Thank you so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Salinas

  • Math, Science & Chill!

    Funded Sep 24, 2021

    Thank you so much! I cannot begin to put into words how grateful I am ecstatic that you chose to contribute to my project. Rest assured my littles will make good use of the flexible seating and the air purifier will be on thought the day to kill any nasty germs floating around. By sponsoring my classroom you guys make it possible for me to do my job effectively. I appreciate every single on of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

  • STEM for All!

    Funded Nov 15, 2018

    Thank you so much for your gratitude! Your generous gift has made an amazing impact on a wonderful group of young people. You have given them the tools and practice necessary to succeed in a technology driven world. The students were beyond excited to work on projects and learn. When they are given projects on paper, it's very hard to motivate them to want to work; however, when they are on the chromebooks, the students are able to research up to date information. Students who struggle with academics are able to show their strengths through technology. Thanks again for everything!”

My students need to keep up with all the changes that are taking place in a increasingly tech-centric society. There is a growing wave to move to Project Based Learning in science; however, that requires giving students time to organically conduct research. Unfortunately, technology is limited at my campus. Most of it is allocated to a computer lab that only allows for 1 day a week scheduled for the entire grade level and two iPad carts that are shared with the rest of the campus. By having more technology in the classroom, my hope is that many of the project based learning lessons that I want to implement will finally be possible. Not only can these Chromebooks be used by students to conduct research and present their findings, they can also be used to practice coding. My hope is to use these laptops to help students with their academics and also inspire creativity by allowing students to practice coding in the classroom. I would love to have a once a week coding day or even start an afterschool program. Ever since I started teaching 4 years ago, I've wanted to start an afterschool coding program where students can use Scratch and Google CS. This small project would be a wonderful first step in setting that goal in motion.
