  • Rhyme Time!

    Funded Sep 25, 2008

    How exciting! I can't wait to get the materials that you generously funded for our class. Just today, all of the first grade teachers were talking about how several students in our classes are having difficulty with rhyming. We were brainstorming ways that we could help them practice and ways to test them. These materials will meet both of these needs! Once again, thank you for going that extra mile to show that you care about the children in our public school system. We all appreciate your kindness”

  • A Day at the Theater

    Funded Sep 21, 2008

    I am so happy that my project has been funded! This particular project is one that I am very excited about. I know that my classroom will be thrilled to use the new materials and perform for each other. I am also excited about inviting other classes to come watch us do theater. Furthermore, I recently signed up to teach an intervention program for second graders who are having reading problems. This will be a perfect way for them to develop their fluency while having fun. Thank you so much for your generous gift to my students and to education. We greatly appreciate your commitment to public education”

  • Listen Up!

    Funded Sep 10, 2008

    I just wanted to take a little break from writing report cards to say thank you for your donation. I was so worried that the project would expire and my kids wouldn't get this fabulous listening center. I can't wait to tell them about what will be coming in the mail. I can't wait for them to enjoy listening to stories and relaxing with a good book. Thank you again for your generous donation. You really have helped to make a difference in these fantastic kids' lives”

  • A Magic Carpet Ride

    Funded Apr 12, 2008

    I was so excited to see that my proposal had been funded! As the new school year approaches I get excited about making the room look wonderful for my new students. I feel that this beautiful carpet will help to make our room a more exciting and interesting place to learn. Thank you so much for your generous contribution. I know that my students will spend many hours enjoying your gift”

  • Leap Into Literacy!

    Funded Feb 26, 2008

    I just wanted to take a minute to express my extreme gratitude. I am very excited about this particular project because I have seen the benefits of using these materials with other children. Most of the students I work with do not have extra money to use on educational items. With these family literacy packs they will be given the opportunity to practice important skills at home and possibly even with younger siblings! Once again, I am very grateful and hope that you know how important your contribution is to so many students”

  • Art History 102 for First Graders

    Funded Feb 21, 2008

    I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for funding my project. Art is a very important part of my classroom and my students are quickly becoming little art historians. Everyday they bring me art books and tell me new things that they learned. I can't wait to get this new set of books! Thank you for your generosity and kindness”

  • Art History 101 For First Graders

    Funded Jan 19, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. I just started a new Unit on Diego Rivera and I'm sure the new books will inspire my students even more about art and art history. They love listening to stories and learning new things. I can't wait to tell them about your contribution to our classroom. Thank you so much and please know that you have made a difference in my classroom”

  • Special Spots for Reader's Workshop

    Funded Jun 12, 2007

    I was so thrilled to see that my proposal on DonorsChoose was granted! We are a year round school and are ready to start the new school year this July. The bean bags and comfy seats will be a great addition to our library. I am so excited to see my new students faces when they see the fabulous library area we will have in our classroom. I feel that when children see reading as a fun and relaxing activity they will have a greater desire to learn to read and grow as readers. Once, again I am so thrilled to have support from generous donors such as yourself. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Sincerely,
