  • Basics for a Cozy Classroom

    Funded Sep 14, 2020

    As always, it is a pure pleasure to write you a letter of thanks! Your contributions to our classroom have meant (and mean!) the world to us, and it is nothing but fun to explain how we put them to use.

    Their attention to the world around them is awe-inspiring, as they move between ideas and concepts big and small, hidden and seen, without pause. They seek connections and meaning, and it is so incredibly cool to be charged with delivering instruction (and supplying materials) that stoke their formidable curiosity.rock collection to so much more--continue to yield questions and observations about the world that would otherwise be difficult to broach. You should see the way the kiddos' eyes light up when given some hand lenses and the aforementioned rocks! It might have cost some money, but the result is truly priceless.

    As always, I am awed by your unceasing generosity. I hope you are both so, so well, and I hope we can arrange a visit in the not-too-distant future!””

  • Help Me Bring Technology to My Classroom!

    Funded Oct 15, 2019

    What a pleasure it is to share great news: your generous contribution has brought so much excitement to our classroom!

    There were smiles all around the day we received the Chromebooks. After starting the year with one outdated desktop computer, having received four faster, lightweight, and sleek laptops infused our Technology Center with quite a boost!

    My kids were immediately ready to put them to use, and that's exactly what's been happening ever since. We're using the laptops for every subject from playing math games to spanning the globe and learning about other cultures through amazing videos and visual content. The kids absolutely love to rotate through the Technology Station, and I'm thrilled to see how enthusiastic they are about learning.

    Again, thank you for your generosity!”

  • We Need Bilingual Dictionaries and Books!

    Funded Dec 27, 2018

    Thank you so much for funding this project,, for bringing this project to life! I cannot begin to tell you the impact your donations made to my students. ! It was wonderful to see the joy on their faces to be able to use dictionaries to facilitate their writing process. The dictionaries are a great tool in the process of learning a new language. Without technology in the classroom, having English/Spanish dictionaries helped my students tremendously.

    My students are a diverse group of kids who spend 50% of our day learning in Spanish, even though only a few speak Spanish at home.. They are just learning to read and write in Spanish and having so many wonderful books that we'd like to discover together is a privilege.

    Muchísimas gracias de corazón.”
