Funded Feb 21, 2019Thank you so much for believing in my students! Thank you for bringing technology to my students' hands! My students have used the iPads for a variety of things. For example, the iPads have given my students access to computer science programs. Also, the iPads have helped them explore and investigate their curiosities through research and science simulator programs.
My students loved using the iPads for coding. They begged to use the iPads every day! They also loved doing research on animal adaptations with partners. They were able to research using different types of media such as ebooks, articles, and science videos.
There were students that had never used an iPad before. They became quick learners! I also had a few student helpers that would help others manipulate the iPads, as well as help them with the computer science programs. Thank you for giving my students this opportunity!
Once again, thank you so much for your donations! Thank you for investing in our future computer scientists!”

Funded Oct 24, 2018Thank you so much for supporting my students. My students love the iPads that you helped us obtain! We have used them for many different things. We have used them for researching, coding, and used educational apps.
The most exciting thing about using the iPads in the classroom has been the flexibility of using them anywhere in the classroom. My students loved using them for their coding activities the most. The iPads have also encouraged collaboration among my students. They work together to help each other when completing tasks.
Some of my students had never experienced using a tablet. They would ask me every day if they were going to be using the iPads during our centers. They went from not knowing what to do with the iPads, to becoming familiar with this piece of technology.
Once again, thank you so much! Your kindness has impacted my classroom in so many ways! My students seem more motivated to learn! You have also given my students access to the technology that they cannot obtain at home.”

Funded Oct 23, 2017Thank your for supporting my classroom! The technology that we were able to obtain due to your generosity has been used for a variety of different learning experiences! My students have been able to use the laptops and printer to help supplement their learning among the different subject areas. For example, the laptops have been used to engage my students in science simulation activities, research, and creating projects that integrate technology, science, and reading skills. It has also encouraged my students to work collaboratly on different projects and assignments.
The students found the laptops the most exciting because they were able to use them for many different things. For example, they enjoyed playing games that helped them review Science, Social Studies, Reading, and Language Arts skills in teams. They also enjoyed working together to research famous inventors and people in history, finding pictures and images, and having a printer accessible to them to print their assignments, and creating amazing projects to present to their classmates.
Many of my students enjoy the opportunity to use technology in the classroom. I have a few who have taken the role of being my classroom "Computer Techs." These students help fix technical problems that may occur. For example, if the wifi is not connected, these students know how to fix the problem. If a student does not know how to cut and paste images, they will assist them. Or, if a student is having trouble with the computer games or simulation activities, they are also there to help. I also have students that prefer completing assignments digitally, instead of with the traditional pencil and paper. Being able to use the computers helps them to focus. My students are also eager to finish their assignments so that they can read e-books on the laptops.
Thank you so much!”

Funded Dec 8, 2015Dear Donors,
Thank you for your donations! This school year my third grade students received boxes of snacks, juice, and water. Their eyes lit up with joy each time a box was delivered. We will forever be grateful for your contribution!
My ESOL students were delighted to have snacks given to them before each tutoring session. I believe that this impacted my students in a big way. My students were able to meet their basic need of eating, causing them to focus more on what was being taught, rather than hunger pangs.
We have reached the end of the school year. We are reading "The Lemonade War." We plan on using the skills learned in tutoring to read and participate in hands on activities related to the book.
Once again, we thank you for your kind gestures!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Alvarado
