• Robots, Robots…Can We Build a Robot Part II?

  Funded Apr 28, 2022

  STEM and STEAM activities are new to me as a classroom teacher. These kits inspired me to take some time to get kids in collaborative groups to think like an engineer....YIPPEE!

  Last year, I came across these robots via the DonorsChoose site in February. I quickly showed them to my team and we started writing away to get different amounts and all of the different ones.

  I hope you enjoy these photos. We used this set during an after school club to build collaborative structures and have students build just like engineers. The students just loved every moment!”

• Book Bins

  Funded Jul 27, 2022

  Our fifth grade team is so excited to have this new heavy duty book bins to help us organize our library. We have been hard at work organizing books throughout the classroom. Thanks to donors, we have been able to replace old books with new books and old containers with new containers. We have been able to make some great changes in our library thus far and we can't wait to continue to make it more appealing for students. We love the new look and new tools. Thank you DC for supporting this project!”

• No More B.O.....Deodorant Please!

  Funded Apr 7, 2022

  Being new to fifth grade last year, I was intrigued by the ongoing conversations we had around personal hygiene. These conversations inspired me to write this project. Coming from second grade for our over 18 years, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was... LOL

  When our Amazon boxes arrived, we worked as a grade level to figure out a good time to have this conversation again. We collaborated with our administration and our school nurse. We decided spring would work best and we paired it with a special event.

  Each year in spring, our school site host a 5K and our community comes out to support our student runners. We decided to pass out the deodorant ahead of the 5K to really encourage students to come to school ready to run and smell good while doing it. Attached are some pictures from that special day. Thank you DonorsChoose!”

• Writing In COLOR Is What We Do

  Funded Jan 10, 2022

  Our 5th grade students are having such a great year and we thank our donors for helping us with this project! This specific project was super helpful with this transition as it allowed for a color printer in our classroom for students to access as needed.

  Our classroom has 29 beautiful and motivated scholars this school year. This project gifted a printer through DC and instantly connected to student chrome books. Throughout the day, students had access to print various items if needed for revision. During the writing process, students were used to drafting on their chrome books but when feedback is given it is a challenge to revise. Giving students access to a printed piece, made this challenging procedure of revision much simpler and enjoyable.

  We also used our color printer for other exciting things like building avatars during Open House. Using the printer allowed us to create a classroom with tools and color to bring happiness to our fifth grade room. Lastly, students were thrilled to make Mother's Day and Father's Day cards and gifts for families using the printer.

  Room 77 is filled with much gratitude and thanks each donor. These past two years has forever changing education and each of us is learning and growing. We love Donors Choose and we love/appreciate each one of you!”

• Let's Talk About Money Part I

  Funded Oct 25, 2021

  Thank you so much for giving my students tools and games to talk about financial literacy, a life-long skill that will help them in every area of life. We've spent a great deal of time playing games related to this topic which has given us problem solving skills and opportunities to strategize while building on our friendships and growing as a community of learners. You have made all this possible with your amazing contributions!

  Your donation also gave us books to grow in our money management skills, talking about real-life money issues for now and our futures. You have made a huge difference!”

• What Is a Frindle?

  Funded Dec 14, 2021

  This is a class set for a book that has proven to be a favorite for 5th graders across the years. My class is excited about reading this one together and about sharing it with other 5th graders on our campus. So often reading a book as a class brings about unity and community that leads to great impact outside the classroom. Having been separated by a pandemic, this year's reading makes a bigger impact than usual, and you have given us a book to create those lasting memories.

  Thank you for making this possible.”
