• Sweet Treats Will Help My Students Feel Complete

  Funded Sep 18, 2024

  I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of the students and staff at YMA, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation. Your support has made a significant impact on our classroom by providing nutritious snacks for our students.

  These snacks play a crucial role in our daily routine. They help keep our students focused and engaged throughout the day, ensuring they have the energy and concentration needed to excel in their studies. A well-timed snack break not only boosts their physical well-being but also enhances their cognitive functions, allowing them to participate more actively in class discussions and activities.

  Your kindness has not only filled their stomachs but also their hearts, knowing that there are people like you who care about their education and well-being. We have seen a noticeable improvement in their attention spans and overall enthusiasm for learning, which we attribute to the healthy snacks you have provided.

  Once again, thank you for your generosity and for making a positive difference in the lives of our students. We are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to sharing more success stories with you in the future.”

  First and Foremost, the students and I are extremly elated that we were able to get this project funded. Where would we be without the support of our generous donors?

The real beauty of this MPC machine is that it has afforded us to also understand how science, math and tecnology are interconnected.

• My Students Love to Eat!

  Funded May 24, 2024

  The snacks were a HIT! The students and I would like to thank you for your generosity and willingness to help get this project funded. The students were especially appreciative of the amazing snacks. The snacks served as a serious motivation for the students to stay motivated and on task. Many of the students persevered and completed their assignments so that they could choose a snack. The snack selection was second to none and made the students feel overwhelmed at times due to the variety of snacks.

  Again..... thank you for your willingness to help get this project funded.”

• Chart Paper and Easel Needed

  Funded Feb 19, 2024

  Thank you for your generous donations. The students love the new dry erase board! The elementary students really enjoy writing on the dry erase board because I can lower it to their height. The dry erase markers are helpful because they allow me to distinguish the letters and the sounds they make by color. Using coloured markers to write on the board helps the content to stand out. The sharpener is SUPER helpful because our old one broke and manually sharpening pencils is time consuming. Again..... THANK YOU!!!”

• Sensory Materials Needed

  Funded Sep 11, 2023

  Thank you for your amazing donations! The students of Yonkers Montessori Academy and I are elated and excited to construct our sensory hallway. Your donations have made a difference in the school day of the students. The materials give the students a reason to constructively move around and burn off some quick energy. They are now able to jump and interact with all of the sensory materials that will be displayed on the walls and floor. They will also be able to interact with each other in a positive way so that team work and school community are reinforced.

  Again..... Thank You!”

• We Want Our Podcasts to Go From Audio to Video

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  OMG!! These tripods are amazing! They have allowed us to record lessons, mini lessons, small group instructional groups, hands on learning projects and our podcasts. They are sturdy, well made and reliable. One great thing about these tripods is that they are easy to handle, manipulate and place in small spaces. The students were able to construct them with ease and free from any hassles. Lastly, the support of every donor is greatly appreciated by the class and I. If it were not for your generous donations we would not be able to do what we've been doing.”

• Karaoke + Music = High Self-Esteem

  Funded Oct 12, 2022

  THANK YOU!!!!! Every teacher in America should have Karaoke machine. This speaker has altered the classroom climate in so many ways. First, the students love waking into a classroom when their favourite tunes are playing. The music perks them up and gets them in the mood to learn. The best part is when they request songs for the next day. Students who request songs are usually the first ones to arrive to class the next day. Another great thing about the speaker is allowing the students to use the microphone to read aloud. This has boosted their confidence when it comes to reading aloud. I also love letting the students control the music during independent work time. Students understand what it means to be responsible and play clean music that appeals to their teachers and classmates.

  Where would teachers be without Donors Choose and the generous donations of the people who support public education.”

• Cultivating a Community Through Our Love for Music and Creativity

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  Thank you for all of your support and donations. The class and I are so appreciative of your selfless giving. As a result, we are able to interconnect via music. Our discussions over music have been invaluable. The best part is being able to "crank up" the music on these amazing speakers. The clarity and output are amazing and very studio quality. The speakers are a major talking point and attraction for parents, coworkers, and students as they enter the classroom. The students are eager and always willing to talk about their cool new equipment.

  Again, we are appreciative and grateful for what your donations have allowed us to do.”
