  • Time to Restock

    Funded Feb 8, 2023

    I am very grateful for your generosity, nothing describes the feeling of knowing that there are many people out there supporting and rooting for you and your students. These snacks will truly be a blessing...when I see their faces glow, when they see the snacks...its priceless.

    I am very grateful for the immense support and generosity that you have displayed. This has definitely been an interesting time for students and teachers all over the world. We have had no choice but to adapt to the "new normal." From lessons having to be redefined to fit remote learning, to creating packages for students who have no or limited access to technology and necessities.

    My students were ecstatic when the goodies arrived. I will continue to use these goodies as a means for my students to keep motivated, love school and grow. I am forever thankful.”

  • Essential Resources for Our Girls

    Funded Jan 25, 2023

    I am so happy to be able to help out our girls while we are at school. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts...this would not be possible without your support and generosity! I have been lucky enough to never miss out on these items so when I became a high school teacher, I had no idea of the scarcity these girls had for feminine products. Sometimes school is the only place they have access to it, it breaks my heart knowing that. With the help of Donors Choose and generous supporters like you, I am able to help. Thank you!”

  • Creating an Inviting Classroom Environment

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Both the students and I were ecstatic when the supplies arrived. They were so used to the anchor charts in our classroom they literally let out a huge sigh of relief. Many people learn differently and it is important to me that I try different ways to reach each and every student. I am glad that through your donations for these materials I was able to offer that.

    I will continue to use these supplies as a means for my students to collaborate, learn, explore and grow. These resources are not only good for anchor charts but can also be used so that students collaborate and have discussions with their peers. It's a great resource to build and grow as a person and as a student.”

    I truly appreciative of this great donation. The look on my students faces was priceless. We are forever grateful for your support and generosity. It warms my heart to know that there are people who care and ready and willing to support. The headphones are a great resource to our classroom, my students are now familiar with devices that are available in more privileged areas/schools.

As we all know, there is a lot of research that states that our children benefit from consistently reading, it is important to expose our youth to various texts as much as possible. No matter the subject area being taught, students should be reading to learn and expand their vocabulary. Learning another language in and of itself is rigorous but in order to maintain what you've learned and at the same time grow, it is important to be exposed to the language as much as possible. It is important that my students are using their time wisely and using every minute of instructional time to learn and grow. This is why I believe that a library with relevant, short and long, easy and difficult reading be available to my students. The exposure of reading materials, such as, short stories or novelettes or short books like Selena and Evita, help students continue with the language, build on vocabulary and tell them about the Hispanic culture. Reading is in fact fundamental, even in Spanish class!
