Lifeless Laptops and iPad in Need of a Safe Home
Funded Nov 24, 2022Thank you so much for helping our class obtain a charging station which will not only keep our laptops safe but will also keep the laptops charged, organized and ready to use in class. This project has helped my students in so many ways. For instance, it has helped the students stay engaged as they work independently or in groups on interesting class projects.
Secondly, It allows my English Language Learners to practice skills they might be lacking such as sight word knowledge, listening skills and alphabet recogntion amongst other necessary skills. Lastly, it has made my students become independent in that it has promoted positive self esteem as they become knowledgable in the use of technology skills needed in the 21st. century especially since many of them lack the necessary resources at home such as the use of technology.
Lastly, students have become life long learners and has helped them build positive relationships with their peers as they work and learn together. I have already noticed the impact it has made as they enter my room everyday with excitement and joy ready to dive into the internet world.
So once again, thank you so much. You can rest assured that the students in my class will make great use of the charging station that you helped make a reality in our classroom.”

Funded Apr 29, 2021Thank you very much for your donations of the headphones for my students. The multipurpose headphones with volume control are perfect for students to use in the classroom as well as at home. I noticed they had a lot of difficulty listening and following along with me and their other teachers while we worked remotely because of the on-going distractions at home.
With these awesome headphones, I was able to give my students one for home and one for use at school. My students will definitely find it useful especially when schools are closed for snow days and election day. Students will have the ability to control the volume with the little knob and they are also able to adjust the headphones to their heads depending on how comfortable it may feel for them. Aside from the adjustable top and the volume control, these headphones are also cushioned which makes the headphones such a valuable tool for learning.
Once again, thank you so much for being so kind and helpful. Your donation will come to great use this year and the remaining years of their education.”

Funded Dec 25, 2019Just by the look at these pictures, you can see how grateful we are to have received our wonderful classroom printer. Not only are we able to print our copies from our computer, but we are now able to do so wirelessly! Students were amazed at how their work is magically printed by just the touch of a button.
We are also able to make our classroom more efficient by having the luxury of having our own printer in the classroom which means having any copies made in an instant without waiting days to get the necessary copies needed to send home to parents for important reminders of class events or news that are currently happening in our classroom.
So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!”

Funded Jul 2, 2017Thank you very much for your contribution to my classroom project. The students were so happy and grateful to receive their brand new color printer. Our class never had a class printer yet alone a wireless one. They are in awe to see how it works wirelessly from across the room.
When I told them about the cool headphones we received, they were so thrilled. The old ones we had were all different sizes and some had better quality than others and often times students would argue over who would use the better headphones. But now with these, each student can have their own comfortable cushioned headphones that they can use on their own or with a buddy. They couldn't believe they could share one laptop while using their own headphones since that was one feature I was in search of.
Once again, thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts. Please know that your contributions will be put to good use. :)”

Funded Dec 20, 2016I would like to thank you so much for taking the time to support my classroom with all of the wonderful materials we received this week. When I told the students that all of our materials had arrived, they were ecstatic. One even told me she had never even touched a laptop before. Can you imagine that? After receiving our new laptops among many other useful materials we received, we are able to use a specific reading program with the convenience of being in our own classroom without having to go to the Computer lab. Students are now able to read independently, play games, listen to stories or do research. We are also looking forward to beginning our new informational unit where we will be able to do research on the computer and answer questions we've always wanted to know about specific topics.
I want to thank you for your belief in my students and for helping them get excited about learning. It's because of people like you that will help make a better tomorrow and will motivate students know that they are important and that learning can be a fun place. So thank you very much. We will be forever grateful.”

Clipboards Galore!
Funded Mar 7, 2014Thank you so much for taking interest in helping my classroom. I can't believe our project was funded. It's my first time trying donors choose and I'm so glad I did. I've been working for 16 years and I wish I would of signed up for this many years ago. My students have been enjoying the materials ever since we have received them.
Because of you, my students will be able to enjoy stories with Cd's during center time and computer time. Just last week, my students were using the listening center we have in class and I have so many beautiful books with cd's that I've purchased from Scholastic and they've never been used because our school has the old fashioned tape cassette recorders so having a brand new radio with cd and our new "wireless" headphones will really help students sit anywhere they want.
Now we'll be able to take neighborhood walks to the libraries and borrow books with cd's from the public library and actually enjoy them in class depending on our units of study. The beautiful multi-cultural crayons will truly display their real skin tones which will help them learn how to appreciate their differences and appreciate their cultures.
The baskets helped us organize and keep our pencils, pens, crayons and scissors in one place. By using the slate erasers, you have helped my class cut down on wasting tissue paper and I can't thank you enough. The clipboards help my students share their writing on the floor without having to lay down across the floor which can cause an accident. I can also take them outside now with their clipboards as they record things they see like a scientist.
People like you help teachers put children first helping to create a wonderful learning environment. Thanks for helping and for showing your support to our future leaders.You guys are truly the best!”

Ms. Franco
