  • Cooking Around the World

    Funded May 18, 2024

    Thank you for supporting me and my students as we endeavor to be researchers, observers, and active participants of the world and the cultures it has to offer. Your support means the world to us. I’m ready to help them get cooking this coming school year, and it’s all because of you. Thanks for believing in out of the box learning and helping me engage my students in a new way!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shafer

    This classroom project was brought to life by Newman's Own Foundation and 9 other donors.

  • A Magical Novel Study and Room Makeover

    Funded Oct 31, 2021

    Thank you for investing in my class. The last few weeks of school are chaotic and riddled with state tests, end of year exams, field days, and field trips. They can be a mess, but my room isn't. Teachers and administrators walk into my room and are amazed at the students who are quietly engaged and focused on the books and activities.

    I have short activities, character analysis projects, or games that go with the chapters. Just today, the kids got sorted into their own houses right along with Harry and friends. It may or may not have devolved into a Gryffindor huddle stumbling around the room, but I digress. The engagement is there, the oohs and ahhs and they walked through Platform 9 3/4 for the first time were music to my ears.

    The best part is watching the kids slowly making connections with their surroundings. You literally see them connecting the dots as we read and they look across the room at the house flags or a white owl, and that is all thanks to you. We appreciate your donation and making the last couple weeks of our school year truly magical.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shafer

  • Technically Listening

    Funded Nov 4, 2019

    Your passion for my calling means the world to me. Your support is allowing my students to learn more effectively and expands my ability to teach them creatively. Thank you for having a heart for students and education. This is my first project to make it through and I couldn’t be more encouraged or excited. Your belief in me and my teaching is such a motivation for me. Rest assured your donations will be put to good use in my classroom! I can’t wait to get going with these headphones!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shafer

We are so excited to recently become one to one technology in my room. Through a combination of tablets, desktops, and laptops we all have access to technology at the same time. This is awesome for my students, many of whom battle dyslexia, learning the English language, and ADHD. This has changed the game for me as a teacher, but it has come with some challenges. We do not have enough headphones for the students in the room to use our technology to its fullest capability. I promise, hearing 21 pieces of technology talking at the same time is enough to drive any one crazy! Please help my students regain some independence and focus with our newly modernized classroom!
