Help Bind Our Books!
Funded Aug 2, 2022I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation to my DonorsChoose project, which provided my classroom with a binding machine. Your support has had a great impact on my classroom, and my students and I are incredibly thankful for your dedication.
The binding machine is not just a piece of equipment; it is a tool that will enhance my classroom. With this binding machine, we can now compile student's writing, educational resources for my ELLs, professional learning materials, and more. Your donation shows that there are individuals like you who care deeply about the quality of education our students receive and are willing to invest in their future.”

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 4 other donors.Horseshoe Table for Small Groups!
Funded May 11, 2019Thank you so much for helping me get a horseshoe table and stools for my classroom. The shape of this horseshoe table is perfect for my small group sessions as the English as a New Language Teacher. When the students enter my classroom, they are able to take a seat at the table and get ready for learning. The horseshoe shape allows me to sit in the middle of the table, with 6-7 students along the outside of the table. I am able to work closely with each student to promote active learning and engagement. I can keep my attention on all students, while also providing the individual support each student may need. I am so happy that I was able to get this table and the stools for my classroom. My students and I love it and we truly appreciate your donations and for making this possible for us!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and 5 other donors.Series Book Authors in the Making!
Funded Apr 25, 2019Thank you for your generous donations to my project. It is because of you that my students are able to have access to more books in the classroom. These books will take my students on many adventures! They have started to find their favorite series, and have found a new love for reading and are learning how to make these characters their best friends.
Last school year, my students were able to use these series books to help create their own series books during writing. They used these books as mentor texts, following in the author's footsteps. It was great to see my students create their own series books, and it is because of you that they had access to numerous series books such as Magic Tree House, Henry & Mudge, Amelia Bedelia, and more!
Thanks to you, my students come to school excited to read and are excited to go on more adventures with their new best friends from these series books!”

Our New iPads Need Protection!
Funded Sep 13, 2018Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. My students are so excited about the iPads, and even more excited that they have cases to keep them safe. Now that the students have learned classroom routines and understand their responsibilities in the classroom, we have begun to use our classroom iPads in reading and math centers daily. I feel confident in assigning students tasks on the iPads because they have these great cases. I am also able to assign tasks where they may need to walk around with the devices, knowing that if they accidentally drop them, it will be okay. The cases are great because they have built in screen protectors. There is also a built in stand, which helps the students as they use the iPads. Without these durable cases that were funded because of you, we would not be able to use the iPads! Now I can let the students use the iPads without worry! We are so grateful and happy.
Thank you so much for your donations.”

iPads for Learning!
Funded Aug 23, 2018Thank you all so much for allowing my students to have daily access to technology. Technology is around us everywhere we go, therefore it was important for me to be able to incorporate it on a daily basis. Thank you for allowing me to expose them to materials that suit their visual, hands on learning styles. With these tools you have made available through your generous donations, I am able to experience smiles and excitement for learning on a daily basis.
My students love to use our brand new iPads during both Literacy and Math centers. Sometimes they plug in headphones to hear a story read aloud to them, which helps to improve their reading fluency. This especially helps our English Language Learners – they are able to hear what a fluent reader sounds like, and learn new English vocabulary right at their fingertips. We have students who have only been in the United States for less than a month, and these iPads have truly enhanced their learning. Some students have the opportunity to practice sight words through interactive games, as well as read books on their reading level and answer comprehension questions after reading each book. I love how I am able to differentiate based on specific needs of each student with the iPads. The best part about this is that the students are having FUN while learning.
With the use of the iPads, I have had the opportunity to watch my students work together like never before. I cannot wait to see what other apps I can add to our iPads to enhance my students' learning, and how else they can be used. Thank you for allowing me to incorporate technology in my classroom. Without you, this would have never been possible. I cannot express how grateful I am that there are people like you in this world. You have truly made a difference in my students' education.”
