Leap Into Learning
Funded Jul 19, 2013My students were so excited to recieve these wonderful learning tools in our classroom! I have now officially added a LeapPad Center to our Morning Station time and the kids get so excited when it is there turn to visit that station. They put their headphones on and start the games immediately. I never have any behavior issues or concerns at that Center! They are too busy having fun and LEARNING at the same time! This has been a wonderful asset to our classroom! The students are engaged and I can even monitor what they are doing and what activities they have done on the LeapPad website, so I can watch their progress and see what areas they need help with! It is a wonderful tool for both students and teacher!
I am extremely grateful and humbled by Duke Energy and their kindness! They are a class act and what a better way to give then to the future of our country! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! :)”

Kindergarten Students Listen Up For Fluency!
Funded Feb 19, 2013THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I cannot say it enough! Another Grant fully funded within a few days of posting! These Listening Center book sets with CD's will go hand in hand with the Listening Center that you also funded for my students!
The boys and girls now have 10 NEW BOOK SETS and CD's to listen to in the Listening Station! These books are so nice and each student can hold their very own copy of the book to follow along with the story! They love these popular children's stories and I love how entertained they are while visiting the Listening Station. They are now super excited to visit this center to see what story they get to listen too each day! :)
Thank you again for your support and generosity to public school educators! We truly appreciate it!”

Listening Center for Building Fluency in Kindergarten!
Funded Feb 19, 2013WOW! What a great way to begin my first Donors Choose Grant Proposal! Thank you so much for funding my Grant in full in just a few days! My student LOVE the new Listening Center. We use it each and every day and the boys and girls truly enjoy listening to stories using equipment that is new and that works properly! It is a beautiful Station and I will be forever grateful to you!
Due to the lack of funding and cutbacks to the area of Education so much falls onto the teacher to pay for out of their own pocket anymore. This is something I could not afford to buy for my students, but with your help it has became a reality!
Thanks you so much for your support and generosity! :)”

Mrs. K's Cozy Corner!
Funded Feb 22, 2013I cannot even begin to thank you enough for your overwhelming generosity toward my students and myself in funding our grants! This was my third grant that I received from you and the rug is absolutely beautiful! We are the envy of the entire school! :)
My students LOVE having a "Rug Area!" The rug is very comfy and it is so nice to have a specific area for my students. They love picking their own spot and having their own space each visit to the "Rug Area!" In Kindergarten this area serves a many purposes throughout the day and the boy and girls get so excited when it is time to meet in the new "Rug Area!" I have also turned it into a Letter Center during our Literacy Station each day and they get excited when it it their turn to visit it!
I think I can speak for all recipients of your Grants this year when I say "Thank You!" You have made many teachers dreams come true! I could never afford to purchase the rug without your generosity!”
