Help Bring Visual Learning to My Classroom
Funded May 8, 2019I cannot thank you enough for donating materials to my classroom. I have been so lucky to have been chosen by such generous donors. My students and I were so excited to receive the document camera and external DVD player. We have put it to good use these past few weeks of school. These materials have helped us close out the school year in a fun and interactive manner.
I have been using the document reader to assist students in completing classwork. A lot of our classwork is completed on worksheets or workbooks, which makes it hard to check / correct student work in the whole group setting. By donating a document reader to my classroom, you have assisted the whole group learning tremendously. The document camera allows us to work together, at the same pace and gives students the visual of exactly how their work should look while following along in class.
I have been using the external DVD player to enhance student learning by playing different DVDs that connect to the information we are learning in class. For example, we read the book Charlotte's Web and completed a study on the book. Upon finishing our reading and work, we were able to watch the movie "Charlotte's Web", which my students really enjoyed. In addition, I have used the DVD player to show students informational videos on topics such as science and social studies.
In conclusion, I hope it is clear to see that your acts of kindness have made an impact on all of my students. We are so thankful!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and one other donor.Help Me Build My First Classroom
Funded Dec 10, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. As a first year teacher, I can not express how amazing it was to receive so many supplies to help build my first classroom. My students were ecstatic when the boxes were being delivered to my classroom shortly after returning from winter break. They could not wait to open them to see what kind of surprises were in there for them. We use all of the supplies that were donated to use daily. We use the pencils and colored pencils in all subjects to help students get their work done neatly, creatively and efficiently. The white table that was donated to our classroom gets used daily as well, and offers students alternative seating. The mini white board erasers have been a MAJOR contribution to our class. For the first few months of the year, the students had to erase their mini whiteboards with paper towels, the mini erasers you donated have provided us with a more efficient (and less wasteful) way to erase our work. We are also so excited about the easel whiteboard that was provided to us. It has been extremely useful during our small group math time! My next project for my classroom is to get more alternative seating options (chairs, bean bags, stools) as well as a LCD projector to project lessons and videos on the board for the class.
Again, I can't thank you enough for all that you have donated to my classroom. Not only have you helped me build my first classroom, you have provided my students with materials and resources they otherwise would not have access to. It means the world to us!”
