  • Music To Their Ears ! Where Music Can Open Doors

    Funded Jan 13, 2020

    The Sony mini speaker may be small but it packs the punch. Everyone loves music and music always brings out the best in everyone. During dance practice, during PE, during writing lessons. It always brings out smiles and a different mood.

    We are in great gratitude for the secret doner who supplied half of the amount. I had no hesitation to pay the remaining amount as my students will have years of enjoyment out of it.

    Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Especially to our Donor Choose organization who helped out with the details.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Benitez

  • Accessing The World

    Funded Sep 15, 2014

    Thank you Goggle. A few months ago I had a vision to start up a technology center with pads and a computer for my students to access information, technology, and have fun while doing that. Your generosity has enabled that and more. My students talk all day about the iPads. They go home and return to school talking about ideas they have that they want to put into play with the new technology. I have setup a technology center in our classroom which students rotate in and out off. In today's way of delivering instruction students small group rotation enable more students to use the technology. My high achieving students are using their creativity to crest books, and my under achieving students are are using apps that help them with basic skills. As we know technology is a very useful tool. It's only the start of the school year , but I can only imagine where we will be in a years time. Thank you once again.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Benitez

  • APPs of Kindness

    Funded Sep 15, 2014

    Thank you so much Google LA. A few weeks ago I opened my email account to learn that my project was funded. My project was to get an ipad in my class room and use Apps from the apple store to inspire students to use technology to learn, reinforce, and explore the world of technology.

    My project... Apps of Kindness was kindly funded by your organization. It's been only a few weeks but the impact is already there. Kids are coming in class talking about the IPad. They are talking about the apps. The motivation level is fantastic. I really appreciate your help and support.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Benitez

I teach students south east of Los Angeles in South Gate. I work in our Learning Lab focusing on early literacy. Most are economically disadvantaged students but they are so lovable kids and good hard working. They arrive to school ready to learn but have no or little means to access technology at home. As a male educator who chose to make a difference as a much needed male figure. I am aiming at making my classroom a technology rich classroom. The material I am asking for will help them access the world and the endless possibilities that life has in store from them. Please help me help them.
