  • National Parks Creates Nature Enthusiasts!

    Funded Jan 3, 2025

    Thank you for bringing the joy of National Parks into our classroom!

    We have been learning about the ones in our state and have started using the resources to do research projects about the others in our country. It is wonderful hearing students find facts and complete activities that expand their interest and allow them to learn. I love hearing them talk about the parks they want to visit someday with family.

    I have also noticed an interest in reading, which will improve their fluency scores in the long run. The text is at their level and all students can be successful.

    We appreciate you so much!”

  • Super Scholars!

    Funded Aug 7, 2024

    Thank you so much for your help towards our community! We have seen significant learning gaps in math and reading this year. The prizes/incentives we have are helping so much! We have a routine set up to where students are rewarded for growth at the end of each week if data shows it. "Data or it didn't happen" is what we call it! When students see this, they pick a treat/prize and take it home, so parents are aware of the WHY behind the prize/treat. It is great to see so many students thriving!

    I am excited to see where all of our scholars are by the end of the school year!”

  • Math Rocks!

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for your help towards our community! We have seen significant learning gaps in math this year. The flash cards we have are helping so much! We have a routine set up to where students are using them in centers each day to practice their facts. They use a data tracker to show how many of the facts they have mastered. We are having them track growth and slowly seeing results, as our first quarter is coming to an end.

    I am excited to see where all of our scholars are by the end of the school year!”

  • Sweets for Superstars1

    Funded Aug 6, 2024

    My scholars were very excited to see the Amazon boxes in our classroom! We opened them together and o explained what they were for. They were happy to see kindness being shown, and their goal is to pay it forward with kind acts on campus for those that need it.

    The class I have now spent kindergarten online, and their academic needs are urgent. Their social/emotional needs are also very high on our school priority. We see many things that need help, and these prizes have helped to motivate and solidify their ability to work towards things that mean something to them. It allows them to goal set and see the rewards that persistence can bring. Seeing growth makes me happy as an educator!”

  • Super Prizes for Super Scholars

    Funded May 7, 2024

    My students have been SO EXCITED about our class prizes! We are setting and holding scholars accountable for specific academic and behavioral goals. It has been great to see students share progress with their parents. My favorite moment is when students pick their prize and share their progress with the community. It has really stepped up our game! When students are working towards something with meaning, they are most likely to put their all into the personal goals. It has been a great start to our year!”

  • Sweet Success!

    Funded May 9, 2024

    Thank you so much for your support for our community! The scholars love earning prize when they meet goals, and it has improved their attitudes greatly. We are very appreciative of your efforts.

    When we allow for student choice and have them work for things that bring meaning into their lives, it creates opportunity for growth. We saw scholars making gains in reading fluency and math fluency. Those are two major areas we are targeting as a campus. We want our scholars to thrive in all areas!

    Thank you again!”

  • Support Successful Scholars!

    Funded Apr 17, 2024

    Thank you SO much for the amazing prizes! My students were so excited to see the Amazon boxes in the classroom. We opened them together and talked about earning items when academic and behavioral goals were met.

    We just finished state and district testing; students have been earning prizes based on their growth, and it is wonderful to see the impact when they have a choice in what prizes are brought in. They are meaningful and bring so much joy to the students!

    We thank you for your generosity and will pass on the kindness to another deserving person.”

Our class is very active and hands on in our learning. They are a community of eager learners that are curious about any form of technology. It would be great to have a class camera for students to use in documenting projects, work, or adding photos to our class photo wall. This product is kid friendly, easy to use and desirable for my age group. One specific project we are working on is a family heritage study and students could contribute by using the camera to aid in their projects. Photos of students and their families could be obtained by use of the class camera.
