Who Lived Here First?
Funded Nov 9, 2007Wow! What a great way to end the work week! I just returned home from another wonderful day at work. Today my students began to explore Native American shelters. They are going to be even more excited than I am about these new books. I cannot wait for you to see their faces as they learn about the Native Americans who once lived on the land that they now live. I also cannot wait to explain to them the importance of a caring and generous heart like the one that you have. Thank you so very much for this wonderful opportunity to open new and exciting doors for my students”

Rewarding Dedication
Funded Oct 14, 2007Wow is all I can say right now. I cannot wait until the books arrive and each of my students learn that their hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. They have already begun preparations for their English Language Arts exam in January and the preparation for the Mathematics exam in March is not too far behind. I know that each one of my students will be so very excited when they have independent reading time with their very own brand new book. Thank you so very much for helping me show my students that each and every one of them are cared about by someone with a caring and understanding heart”

The Fonz Is A Writer
Funded Oct 7, 2007Wow what can I say. When I posted this proposal on DonorsChoose I could only imagine that someone would want to help my students improve their education. I cannot wait to have my students read these books or have me read them to the entire class as our special book of the month. Every time my students, this year and in years to come, open up one of these wonderful books I will be sure that they know that these books are part of our classroom thanks to the generosity of someone as caring as you. I can only hope that your generosity will inspire my children both in the classroom and outside in the real world. Thank you again”

Manipulating Math
Funded Oct 3, 2007I am trying to find a word that means more then just a mere thank you. I want to find a word that will allow to visualize the smiles on my students faces as they begin to learn math in a whole new way. I want to find a word that allows you to feel the increase in confidence in my students as they start to understand and a master a new math concept. I am upset because the only word that I can think of is thank you. Your generosity is greatly appreciated not only by me but by my students and their parents. I look forward to teaching my students with these new supplies. Once again thank you for opening your heart to my students”

B-I-N-G-O Math
Funded Sep 5, 2007School began only yesterday and this funded proposal is a great start to this school year. When I explain to my class tomorrow that someone has been so generous and has given us great math games they will be so elated. I know that this school year my students will begin to enjoy math more and they will be able to practice their mathematical skills in a more relaxed and exciting way. I cannot wait to start taking pictures so that you too can enjoy the smiles on my student's faces as they yell out BINGO. Thank you again for opening your heart to my students, it means more to me than you will ever know”

Our Circle of Books
Funded Aug 16, 2007I feel like the right words escape me right now. I am so thankful for your generosity toward my students. I can only imagine the looks on my students faces as they engage in reading these wonderful chapter books, and I can only imagine the interesting and invigorating conversations that will take place during our Literature Circles. Through your kindness you are allowing my students to venture on the most amazing adventures they will ever take. Once again thank you for your sincere generosity it will never be forgotten”

Questioning History
Funded Jul 31, 2007Thank you so much for helping me open up a new way of thinking for my students. I cannot wait to see the look on their faces when I tell them to put away their Social Studies textbooks and open up these brand new picture books. They will then travel back into history to learn about these two wonderful women in American History. I know that this experience will allow my students to become more interested in the history of our great country. The most rewarding piece will be when my students not only start asking what if questions in Social Studies but also in Science and Literature Circles as well. Thank you once again for your generosity toward my students, your kindness will be remembered every time one of those books are open this year and in years to come”

Travel Buddy Goes Down Under
Funded Jun 20, 2007As I opened my email to see that someone so generous had decided to help my students, I could only imagine the smiles on my students faces as well. First thank you for opening your heart to help my wonderful students and helping them gain a wonderful educational opportunity. There are not enough ways to say thank you for your generosity. Over the past two years I have seen my students learn so much about Australia, its people, history and culture. I cannot wait for you to see my students' smiling faces and read their letters of thanks so you can really understand the impact of your donation. Thank you again for your donation to my classroom”
