• Charging Our Way Through Education

  Funded Dec 19, 2024

  On behalf of our students, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation to allow us to receive the 30-computer charging cart. This thoughtful gift has already made a tremendous difference in how we use technology during lessons. The cart provides a safe and organized place for storing and charging our computers, ensuring they are always ready for our students to use. This has made our classroom more efficient and has allowed us to maximize our learning time with the technology we rely on.

  The students are absolutely thrilled with the new charging cart! They love knowing that their computers will always be charged and waiting for them when it's time to learn. The cart has made it so much easier to keep everything in one place, which has reduced stress around finding fully charged devices and has kept our classroom running smoothly. The convenience and organization the cart provides have really helped keep our lessons flowing without any interruptions.

  We're also excited about the monitors of the cart that help us keep track of each device. This feature has made managing the computers so much easier, as we can quickly see if any device needs attention. It's made our classroom more organized and allowed our students to focus on their lessons without worrying about their devices. Your generous donation has made a huge impact on our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for your support!”

• Technology is the Future

  Funded Aug 15, 2024

  We are incredibly thankful for your generous support of our classroom through your Donor's Choose contribution. The new laptop computer, headphones, and printer have already begun to transform our daily learning experience. These essential tools allow us to engage with technology in new and exciting ways, making our lessons more interactive and accessible for every student.

  Additionally, the composition notebooks, pencils, and clipboard holder rack have helped us maintain an organized and efficient learning environment. These basic yet crucial supplies have allowed students to stay focused and take pride in their work, while the new clipboard rack has been a perfect addition for keeping our classroom neat and ready for collaborative activities.

  The presentation clicker has also enhanced how we share knowledge in class, making it easier for both teachers and students to present ideas smoothly and confidently. Your donation has significantly enriched our learning space, and we are truly grateful for your investment in our students' growth and success.”

• Ready, Set...Read!

  Funded Jan 22, 2024

  Without your continued generosity and selflessness this project would not have been possible. My students were super excited as soon as I opened the box. They are finally eager to read. They are actually reading more and more just to see what happens next. They already made a list of which books they want to read next in which order. This is all happening because you helped bring this project to fruition. I can't wait to hear the engaging conversations between the students! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 💕”

• Reading is "Real" Important - Part 1

  Funded Dec 5, 2023

  Thank you for bringing this project to fruition. It is a struggle to get nonfiction books that the students will want to read. Our school library doesn't have many nonfiction books and not much to grab their attention. My students were super excited to start reading when they saw these new books. Watching them discuss what they read, enjoyed and connected with is what this is all about.

  The more students enjoy reading, the more likely they will be successful, life-long learners. This would not have happened without your generous contributions and continued support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

• Reading Is Real Important Part 2

  Funded Oct 11, 2023

  Thank you for bringing this project to fruition. With your generous donations, my students were able to have more books in our classroom library. They were so excited to do their book tasting today. This project allow them to get books on their reading levels and books that they actually wanted to read. They barely started their first book and were talking about which book they wanted to read next.

  Not only did this project get these books into my students' hands, but now they are eager to read the books and have their bookclub discussions! This will allow my students to increase their reading stamina, and enjoyment of reading. Without your generous donations none of this would have happened. Thank you!”
