Help My Students Receive a Quality Education!
Funded Dec 29, 2016Thank you for funding my project! As a World History teacher I've been overwhelmed with students' needs and lack of resources. The materials provided will help us with class organization, technology, goal setting, and a class library. Our class projector has recently malfunctioned and it's been hard to give students a visual of the time period we are studying in history. The projector included in this project alone, will change the quality of education in our classroom.
The impact these items will make in the classroom is priceless!”

Help My Students Receive a Quality Education!!
Funded Nov 20, 2015This past school year, being a first time World History teacher was an overwhelming experience. World History is a course designed to improve student's understanding of history and the world but we're also faced with the challenge of improving students' literacy skills that will help them get through high school and beyond. Unfortunately, with a change in state testing we also had to place a heavy emphasis on writing. With so many different elements involved in one class, we needed as many resources as we could possibly get our hands on and that's exactly what Donor's Choose helped us achieve. The materials from this Donor's Choose campaign helped change the lives of my students forever!
My students were very appreciative of the materials we received. I was very adamant about my students understanding how the knowledge I received from certain books changed my life. Thanks to the funding I received through Donor's Choose I was able to create a class library with those very same books. I feel very accomplished knowing that my students received that very same knowledge and information. I was also able create a competition to see which student could read the most books. I had a student read sixteen books and increase her lexile (reading level) dramatically.
One of the biggest advantages my classroom gained was in the form of technology. We were supplied with very old and insufficient computers at the very beginning of the school year. With a change in state testing, my students needed headphones for the listening portion of the test. They also needed access to eBooks and other online studying materials. Thanks to the speakers my students were able to keep up with assignments that were dependent on technology. I couldn't possibly explain how much of a disadvantage my students were faced with before receiving the materials from this project. I always teach my students to dream big and due to the blessings we received from this project my students now know achieving their goals will always be possible!”
