  • Headphones for Classroom Instruction

    Funded Aug 19, 2021

    Thank you kindly for your donation that helped me obtain headphones for my classroom. As we are pivoting between in person, and virtual learning, my students frequently use these videos to help them with virtual instruction.

    Also, this allows me to incorporate instructional strategies such as interactive videos into my classroom when we are in person. My students love the concept of watching videos and can rewatch them to clarify their understanding.

    Thank you again for thinking of us! We greatly appreciate it! Please consider supporting more teachers on this platform during this trying time.”

  • STEM Cart for Future Scientists

    Funded May 5, 2021

    Thank you kindly for your donations which led to me being able to obtain a STEM cart for my supplies. My students like the consolidation of all our supplies and we use it regularly to enhance my instruction. I struggle in my classroom with storage concerns. This cart really helps solve that problem.

    Additionally, my students are allowed to have extra curricular clubs again! This means the students who sign up to do STEM projects with me after school can also use this tool!

    Thank you again for thinking of my students and me. We greatly appreciate your generosity. Please consider donating again to another teacher on this platform during these trying times for educators.”

  • Calculators for Future Mathematicians

    Funded Jun 19, 2020

    Thank you for the generous donation of calculators to my classroom. Unfortunately due to the current situation in the world with Coronavirus my students have yet to be able to use them. I plan on introducing them to the students once we can have face to face instruction safely again. My students can use these calculators for a variety of purposes as I implement STEM projects into most of my lesson plans. You can't have STEM without math!

    Thank you again for supporting my classroom and my students' future endeavors. Please consider supporting another public school classroom in the future.”

  • Microscopes for Future Scientists

    Funded Mar 19, 2018

    Thank you for your kind donation of microscopes to my classroom. This tool is something that my 6th graders haven't had an opportunity to use yet in their scholastic careers. They learned about cells and microorganisms, and they were able to observe their traits and characteristics, thanks to your generosity.

    Thank you again for your investment in my students' futures. Because of you, perhaps we inspired the next generation of microbiologists. If you have another opportunity, please invest in another public school teacher's classroom on Donor's Choose. Your money goes right to a child's future.

    Thank you again for your kindness. It is very much appreciated.”

As the world keeps changing the ways our students learn change too. My students become more connected to technology each day, and it is an integral part of their lives. Using technology in my science classroom will allow me to enhance the learning environment to prepare students to live and work in a global community. I would like to blend my science instruction with technology to increase the rigor and relevance in my lessons. This would allow me to use effective teaching strategies through digital tools. Laptops in my science room will give me the opportunity to support and engage students in 21st century learning.
