  • Show and Tell How the World Works

    Funded May 1, 2025
    This classroom project was brought to life by The Allstate Foundation.

  • Read to Improve Science Literacy!

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    These books will be an amazing cross-curricular tool to help them bridge the gap between reading, writing, and science. We will start each physics class period with quiet novel reading time followed by a short guided writing reflection. This will help to improve their vocabulary as well as their reading fluency. The book will also provide great examples to reference during the physics lessons.

    Your incredible donations are greatly appreciated by my students. I always tell them that there are people "out there" that want them to succeed. Please consider donating to some of my other classroom projects in the future. We couldn't do this without you!”

  • When Little Pigs Calmly Fly

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you for your generous gifts. I am so grateful to you for supporting the enhancement of their academic experiences . They will be sure to have greater success with more access to hands-on equipment like the flying pigs. They will be so excited to see a myriad of flying pigs flying in circles through the air when they walk in for rotational motion day! We couldn't give the kids the same experiences without your support. Please consider donating to another one of my class's projects in the future. Thank again.”

  • Calm and Cute Printing Supplies

    Funded Mar 14, 2025

    Thank you for your generous donations. The large amount of PLA plastic filament that our classroom received was an exciting surprise for the students. The array of colors gives us a plethora of options to choose from when designing and printing fidgets and other classroom demonstration pieces. My students are excited to start planning and they are so pleased that the project got funded so quickly. Thank you again for all that you do. We couldn't do these types of fun projects without your support.”

  • Calm and Colorful 3D

    Funded Mar 11, 2025

    Thank you for your incredible support! This new 3D printer sets up our students for new and successful opportunities. We are well on our way to building a true 21st-century classroom with a wonderful maker space where students explore their scientific curiosity in a quiet and calm setting.

    Your donations are crucial in making the dreams of my students become a reality. I am constantly blown away by the generosity of strangers. Please consider donating to future projects of mine so that I can continue to grow our classroom resources and help our students”

  • Physics is Fun!

    Funded Sep 5, 2024

    Thank you for your support! This project couldn't have happened without your generosity. Our classroom now has several new tools that can be enjoyed for years to come. The bee-spi digital timer allows us to collect and record real data about moving objects. The x-darts and balloon launcher allow us to have safe, launchable projectiles to study 2-dimensional motion. The Euler's disk allows my students to have a very interesting visual phenomenon as an introduction to the conservation of rotational inertia. The chalk allows us to create semi-permanent charts on the white board to use as we fill in data.”

  • Phone-free Time Zone

    Funded Sep 5, 2024

    Thank you for your support! This project couldn't have happened without your generosity. Our classroom now has reliable and easy-to-use timers that can be enjoyed for years to come. These devices allow the students to collect and record data during their physics experiments without the need to pull out their phones and be possibly distracted by other apps or social media. This is also in line with our latest state and district requirements as it pertains to restricting cell-phone use during instructional time. This is such good TIMING to have timers! Pun definitely intended.”

  • Voyage to the Beyond with a Pocket Lab!

    Funded Aug 19, 2024

    I am thrilled that my new students will have more technology to help them learn about the world around them. As we begin the school year it is a lot of fun to see the students get direct scientific data and start to interpret and learn the topics.

    It is without a doubt that donors like you make a huge difference in the lives of these students and I am extremely lucky that you chose to donate to my project. Thank you so much for your generosity. I could not teach in the same way without your support!”

  • 3d Printing Lives On!

    Funded Jan 16, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity. Your donations have allow my class to replenish some of their plastic filament supplies that were starting to dwindle. They also loved to new tri-color filaments that allow for objects to be different colors from different sides!

    These items are allowing our class to be more fully immersed in STEM activities. 3D printing has started expand my students creativity for what they can create and make for their projects.

    As a teacher I am able to make manipulatives and other hands on demonstration items that I would otherwise have to buy. The supply of plastic filament allows our science department's money to go farther.”

By moving the projector to the ceiling, the students will have more space and I as the teacher will have the freedom to move about anywhere in the classroom without interrupting the lesson. Currently, the projector is located on a cart in the middle of the students' desks in order to provide a large screen image that can be viewed by everyone. With up to 44 students in the classroom, needing to move to the middle of the classroom can be distracting. The wireless connectivity provided by the LAN module will allow for greater student interaction and smoother transitions between activities. The students would also be able to connect their laptops directly to the projector to share work with the class. This would improve overall engagement and create a more positive working environment for the students. New speakers will allow all of my students to stay engaged in lessons involving audio-visuals by providing. Currently, we not have speakers that can adequately produce enough sound to reach the whole classroom. Together, all these items will enhance the flow of the lessons for students and give the students a more enhanced 21st-century classroom experience.
