All We Want For Christmas...Is a Clean New Rug
Funded Dec 6, 2011I want to thank all of you for your generosity and thoughtfulness. I am sorry it took me so long to thank you. My students and I have been practicing how to keep the new rug clean by using the old rug. We wipe our feet before we come into the room and we walk around the rug with our paintings. I know it sounds extreme but I have many more years to teach and I want my students to have the cleanest rug possible. Who knows when this opportunity will come again.
So last week I unveiled the new rug that you generously gave us. The children, parents and I are in awe of the new rug. Thank you so much. The students are excited about reading the words, letters and numbers on the rug. The parents and I are happy that the children have a clean rug to learn on. The classroom environment is brighter and more welcoming because of you. You have touched many lives by your kindness. ”

Funded Dec 15, 2011I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Because of you, 120 preschool and kindergarten students get to ride the trikes everyday. They love racing around the track! Their smiles are priceless. Just having the yellow trikes on our kindergarten yard brightens the area. Then you add all of our happy students and it becomes a place where happiness overflows. Not only are they having fun, they are getting exercise and releasing energy. It is nice that they now have so many things to do on the yard thanks to you and Donors Choose. My students and I really appreciate all you have done! Thank you for your kind hearts! ”

Funded Jan 19, 2012I want to thank everyone for their thoughtfulness and generosity. Because of you, we have an iPad in our classroom. The students love it. Everyday they are begging to use the iPad. The iPad gives me a chance to challenge the students who are ready for more and also, help students that need reinforcement. I bought the Teach Me...First Grade and Teach Me..Second Grade apps for the students who are working above grade level. I also, got some phonics apps for my students who need extra practice. My students love Math Bingo and Word Bingo. They are apps that can be used for various levels. It is amazing how the kindergartners are very comfortable with the iPad. They love to take pictures and record themselves reading. It's great having this technology in the classroom. My students and I appreciate it and we use it everyday. Thanks again!”

Funded Dec 6, 2011Thank you for your generous donations! We really appreciate it! Because of you, 120 kindergarteners have two more trikes to ride. They are so excited to go out to recess so they can ride around our bike track. Now they actually have a chance to ride a trike if they want to. We have three recesses so the trikes are constantly being used during morning recess and lunch recess. We also use it for Physical Education time. So those trikes get no rest! We store them inside my classroom (at night) so they won't mysteriously disappear. All the other kindergarten teachers and the pre-kindergarten teacher express their gratitude, too. You made five teachers and 120 children very happy! Your generous hearts touched many lives. Thank you for thinking of us and this would not have been possible without you.”

Funded Dec 15, 2011I want to thank all of you for your generous donations to our Learn Hard, Play Hard project. My students definitely love to learn and they love to play outside. Thanks to you they are now able to play basketball during recess and physical education time. They love it. They are learning to share and work together. It is so fun to watch them! I also can hear them say, "nice shot" and "good job." I can't thank you enough. We have been wanting a basketball set for a long time. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. It is our dream come true! There are over 120 children that get to enjoy it everyday! ”

Funded Feb 14, 2011Thank you for your generous donations! I had a wonderful school year thanks to you. My students loved using the iPod Touch during center time and whenever they finished all of their work. It motivated them to do their best. They learned so much by using the different learning applications that I downloaded. The most popular applications were Teach Me...Kindergarten and Teach Me...1st Grade. It is amazing how technology can enhance learning. With all the extra practice with the iPod Touch, I can say that all of my students are ready for 1st grade. Thank you for making this past school year an enjoyable one! My new kindergarten class in September will be lucky to have this technology in the classroom and we have you to thank. ”

Funded Nov 6, 2010I want to thank you for your generous donations for the Flip camera. Ever since it has arrived, my students and I have enjoyed using it. Thanks to you my kindergarten class will have many recorded kindergarten memories. Each students will get a DVD of the different videos I have recorded throughout the year. It will begin with our winter program and then end with our special kindergarten culmination in June. It will also include their child reading and participating in different activities throughout the year. My students' parents are already excited about receiving the DVD. I told them it is because of people like you that I am able to do these things. I really appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness. Your generosity has touched many lives.
My students and I know there are so many projects to choose from but we are grateful you picked ours! Thanks again!”

21st Century Here We Come
Funded Oct 10, 2010I want to thank all of you for your generous donations for the iPod Touch. My class was so happy when we received the iPod Touch. They are very thankful for your thoughtfulness. It is a hard concept for my students to understand that people (that they don't know) are willing to give money so we can have extra special things for our classroom. My students feel very special that you chose our project to support.
Ever since the iPod has arrived, my students have enjoyed using it. I bought many applications and have loaded several free applications. My students love it. They can't wait for their turn. It has been a great learning tool and also, it is a great incentive for them to get their work done neatly and correctly.
It is amazing how fast it was for them to learn how to use it. My teacher's aide couldn't believe it either. It is great how fast kindergartners can learn. Their favorite application is Teach Me Kindergarten. All of my students have never used an iPod Touch before so it has been great to introduce them to this type of technology. Thanks to you we are able to get this technology in the classroom. I appreciate you for supporting my project and supporting my mission to bring more technology into my classroom. Thanks again!”

Funded Jan 15, 2010Thank you for your kind words and generous donations. Thanks to you we now have a classroom laptop and my kindergarten students really get to experience new math concepts. I am now able to use the interactive DVD that enhances the Envision Math series. Everyday after recess, the students now look forward to math. I even hear the students say, "Mrs. L, I love math!" That is really exciting for me to hear. The students also play math games on the computer. They are so excited to use the laptop.
Our wallpaper for our laptop is a picture of us thanking you. That way the students always remember that all of you cared so much about us and to remind them to do their best everyday Then hopefully, someday they will be able to do the same kindness that you have done for us. Words can't express the gratitude we fill in our hearts.
Technology is very important. Thanks to you they are getting a solid 21st century education! ”
