Reading is FUNdamental!
Funded Dec 19, 2011Once again, thank so much for your donation. Since our new book organizer arrived to our classroom, reading has become very popular in my classes. Books are organized and more accessible to my students. This tool makes them feel special because it gives our classroom a sense of being in an actual library.
My students have become ravenous readers, who just can't get enough books to read. Students are becoming hooked on new genres, authors, and series. They are also very excited about recommending their favorite books to their peers. Consequently, they have wonderful conversations about the books they read and their favorite authors. In addition, students from other classrooms come to me with the hope of checking out one of my books. In their own words, "the eight graders have the coolest books; I can't wait to read those books!"
Literacy is essential to success for their future. These new books support my vision that all students should learn to love to read. When students read what they like, they become self-motivated to learn and to read. They also improve their reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Without donors like you, many youth would never feel the joy of reading. ”

Funded Dec 29, 2010Thank you for your donation. It has made a world of difference in our classroom. Since we started using the LCD projector with the document camera, student participation has increased tremendously. Students are excited about being in front of the classroom to teach or present to their peers because they can use such a high-tech resource. They have proudly shared their essays, pictures, art work and multimedia presentations with others. As a result, my students are more enthusiastic about learning.
My ability to zoom in as I teach, has allowed me to reach more students. The greatest impact on my students has been the immediate ability to use visuals such as pictures, 3-D objects and multimedia presentations. I can even use my hands and fingers to signal so that all students can see and immediately respond. They are so engaged, that I use the document camera and LCD projector practically on a daily basis. This technology has led to academic achievement for many whose primary obstacle was accessing the learning content. Without the LCD projector, the document camera would be useless. Thank you very much for providing my students with this invaluable resource.
Your donation will affect many generations of students in our school for many years to come.”

Funded Nov 9, 2010Once again, I want to thank you for your donation. Since we started using the ELMO document camera in our English language arts classroom, student participation has increased tremendously. Students have had many opportunities to go to the front to the class and teach or present using this wonderful technology. Students have also been able to proudly share their work with others. As a result, my students are more enthusiastic about learning.
