Can You Hear Me Loud and Clear?
Funded Aug 30, 2021First and for most, I am thankful for the generous donations given in order to make this project a success. I have notice such an improvement in my classroom once I used the headphones. The students were excited to have their own headphones and were more focused on their work.
During this pandemic, I never thought that the use of technology, especially headphones, would improve my classroom. It made such a big difference with the classroom management. They were quiet and were able to finish their work without any distractions. It was great for my Bilingual students who needed to listen to the instructions at their own level. It made it easier for them to achieve their goal in the session.
Once again, I am grateful for all that was done in order to complete the project.”

Funded Aug 4, 2021The imagination of my students was out of this world! They got to experience how to act out and then see themselves on TV. They were so excited to learn about the different ways to incorporate the most important aspects of acting. Besides acting, they were also able to be a good audience. It was a great experience for them.
Thank you for your donation. Upon receiving it, they were not sure of what it was, but eventually, they were able to use it, and now they love it!!
Our next project is to be reporters and see what city they would choose. Once again, thank you so much!”

Funded Jul 30, 2021Thank you for your donations with the dry erase boards. My kids Love it!! They are able to use it to solve math word problems, create sentences, and review the spelling words. They are excited and anxious to try it on a daily basis. They even do their own drawings.
Seeing their excitement when "playing"...."Write the sight word"... is priceless. They are motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to learn.
It has brought my classroom together when they participate as a group. They are able to cooperate in a peaceful and able to express how they came up with the answer. Thank you so much for bringing such joy to my classroom. I am beyond grateful!”

Funded Jul 25, 2021Remember being a child and the excitement you felt about a new pack of crayons or a set of gel ink pens? Did you feel encouraged to test them out at school the next day? School supplies are essential and thanks to your generosity, my students were able to achieve that. When my students had their own school supplies, I was able to see them improve on creativity, attitudes towards learning, behavior, peer relationships and self-image.
For children of low income families, having adequate school supplies can drastically help pave a path to a successful future. This is something that all children should experience in their learning journey.
It is with great gratitude to see my students get the supplies needed to start of the new year. They were thrilled and they were able to use the supplies to work with Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. Once again, thank you for making it happen!”

Funded Jul 12, 2021Having the right supplies in my classroom enriched my students' learning and making classroom management easier. It ensured that my children are physically and emotionally safe, and it made them feel more cared for during the time they spend in school.
Going through the tough time with COVID, I had the chance to see their little faces light up when they got their school supplies. Cheering through out the class was heard around the school.
Now that they have their supplies, they are able to work without having guilt the they did not bring any. They are able to do Math and Spelling homework by taking their pencil, paper, and erasers home. Parents were also grateful for lending a helping hand. Thank you so much!”

Funded Jul 7, 2021Imagine that you climb into a tree house, open a book, point to a picture, and you're magically transported to that place. Making a wish and it comes true! The "Magic Tree House" series transports kids through time and around the world, teaching history while stirring their imaginations.
I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity in getting my students to fall in love with reading. By using the series of "Magic Tree House," my students are able to use story elements, comprehension, and history. Most importantly, their imagination was used to the max.....the classroom was as quiet as the mouse!
Even though we could not all sit on the carpet, my students got to enjoy it. They were excited to sit down on a cozy carpet with a fabulous book.”
