Penning Digital Ideas
Funded Apr 15, 2024With sincere gratitude, I want to express a huge thank you to each one of you. Your support has, and will continue to make a big impact in my students' learning. These computers allow us to work in small stations/groups and provide our class with additional resources that will not only make learning fun, but will also help exceed our learning goals for the school year.
My kiddos love using the "pretty" blue computers. There's something special about newer technology in their minds. This alone encourages them to want to work harder and have extra learning games time. Once again, thank you.”

Computers in Classrooms for Constructive Minds
Funded Apr 24, 2022With most sincere gratitude I want to describe how much your donation has impacted our class. Since the pandemic, we have been working mostly online. I am now able to provide my current students with a device to use at school.
Although most have their own, there are a few who depend on our classroom devices, as well as those who sometimes forget theirs at home. Having an extra computer is a lifesaver! This has significantly helped improve our preparation for our state assessments, as we have so many resources made available to us online.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, because this has truly made a difference.”

Funded Dec 21, 2020Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to bring a little bit of "green" indoors. Our grow light has been a great science tool. The students have started using it, as we have since started planting an indoor garden.
The excitement they have shown while preparing for and planting was indescribable. Some have even started their very own gardens at home!
I am overjoyed by this new learning experience, for them, and thank you for continuing to believe in the power of education and conservation awareness.”

Enter to Learn, Leave out the Germs
Funded Sep 17, 2020First of all, thank you! Your support has significantly improved our classroom environment. Being able to walk into our room, knowing that we will all be breathing a much better quality of air is definitely a plus for our peace of mind, as well as the parents'. In these times, with all the uncertainty we are surrounded by, it is nice to have our "safe place." Our air purifier runs all day ensuring that our children are being given the best possible care and attention. I am also thankful to have been able to obtain the filters, which will allow us to run our clear air for the entire school year. I could never have done this without your help and support. Much appreciation to you all!”

Funded Oct 4, 2019Your generosity has greatly helped my students. Obtaining the resources we needed has resulted in great academic growth. Students are enjoying reading and writing more than ever, and look forward to the games we play in class. These are challenging, yet provide them with the necessary skills needed to tackle day to day assignments. Their motivation this year has sky rocketed! Thank you for believing in the power of a good education and for allowing me to become better at doing what I so love.

Tech-O Geckos!
Funded Jan 13, 2019Since receiving our laptop, our technology center has improved significantly. Students are able to work in groups to complete any online assignments. It has become much easier to give them a chance to work on their reading through the online resources provided to us. I find that my students are completing their class work in a much more timely fashion, as they love having the opportunity to go online to read and/or work on fun learning activities.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity. Thank you for helping bring back fun into learning, and into our classroom! We are humbly grateful.”

Sit Here, Sit There, Flexible Seating Everywhere!
Funded Sep 7, 2018We are so grateful to each of you for your generosity and for allowing us to get the supplies we needed to help begin our flexible seating classroom. We immediately put our chairs to use and are excited about the benefits this will bring, both academically and socially. The children's excitement every morning, as they walk into their class, makes me so happy! They look forward to instruction because they know they will eventually have a "comfy" spot to sit at, whether it's to read, to complete an individual assignment or a group assignment. I hope this is only the beginning of a fun, happy classroom where creativity and love for learning will flow for years to come!”

Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you to all who made the funding of this project possible. My current and future students have been, and will continue to make good use of the items granted to us. The tablets allow students to work quietly and independently, maximizing their educational [learning] time. I have noticed an increase in student performance, since students see the tablets as an incentive. I see plenty of friendly competition, as they love to complete their assignments on time, in order to be able to use the educational applications on the tablets. I hope to continue to use these devices for as long as possible.
I am eternally grateful.”

Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you to all who made the funding of this project possible. My students have been, and will continue to make good use of the items granted to us. The privacy boards help during independent work and the tablets allow students to also work quietly and independently, maximizing their learning time. I have noticed an increase in student performance as the tablets are seen as an incentive. They love to complete their assignments to be able to use the educational applications geared towards reading. I hope to continue to use these devices for as long as possible.
I am eternally grateful.”

Funded Oct 2, 2017We wholeheartedly want to thank you for your generosity. The children have been learning how to create and maintain an organized space. The tablets have been a wonderful asset to our classroom, as well. Before, we only had one computer, now students have three technology stations where they can work on programs such as Accelerated Reader, "AR" (which we hold friendly competitions in reading with.) Aside from "AR," students have utilized the tablets to listen to audio books once their class work has been completed. We are grateful for these donations and, again, wish to thank you, most sincerely.”
