  • Ready, Set, Focus! Set of Classroom Headphones

    Funded Feb 7, 2025

    There are so many great projects on Donors Choose; I am so very grateful for your choice to make a contribution to our project!

    Your donation will make it possible for each of my students to have their very own headsets, which will help them focus on their work and be successful.

    I can not wait to see the look on their small faces when they get the exciting news that donors made this project possible.

    God bless!”

  • Books for Bilingual Students

    Funded Jan 26, 2025

    Thank you for contributing to this project, which will give my students access to a variety of bilingual books! I can only imagine their excitement when they see the amazing collection of books they will be able to use to read and learn. They will be thrilled to know they have people who care about them, and are willing to invest in their learning.

    From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your gift. God bless!”

  • Classroom Carpet for Whole-group Lessons

    Funded Dec 26, 2023

    Thank you for your gift to ensure the students in my classroom had access to a carpet where we can meet to learn together! Your generosity has greatly impacted my students.

    My students were in disbelief when they walked into our classroom and saw the carpet for the first time. They were amazed by the beautiful, bright colors and its larger size; it fit all 22 students with no problem. For weeks, my students couldn't stop commenting on how comfortable it was.

    Our classroom carpet has made our class more welcoming, and has sparked questions about the world, since it has a beautiful world map in the middle. The map comes in handy during our social studies and literacy blocks! It has also allowed my students to be more comfortable and has minimized distractions since the entire class has a spot to learn.

    I appreciate your thoughtfulness to ensure my students had a cozy place to learn! God bless.”

  • Engaged Learning Through Technology

    Funded Jul 26, 2018

    The day we received the tablets, was probably the most special day for my students this school year. They were thrilled to know that someone who did not know them personally, was invested in their learning and their futures. For this, we are so grateful!

    During the school year, the tablets have provided access to hundreds of reading books via Amazon Kindle, and the amazing Alexa, who helps us almost daily with spelling during our writing time. My students also use the tablets during centers for literacy and math activities. For the past couple of weeks, the tablets have really helped my students learn their multiplication facts.

    There are no words to describe how amazing it is to see my class so excited to learn and grow. Thank you for making this possible! God Bless you.”

  • Money in My Pocket

    Funded Mar 29, 2018

    Thank you again for your generous donation to assure our class had the resources needed to learn about financial literacy. Every time I've had a project funded here on Donors Choose, I try to explain how excited my students were to receive the materials, but words have never done justice. Luckily, I was about to capture the moment with a few pictures. There was a lot of jumping and hugging, accompanied by endless "wows, ohs, ahs", and "how awesome"!

    Since receiving the games and books, my students have had plenty of opportunities to read, play, and learn through hands-on activities during centers, small group, and whole group. These resources have helped them not only become familiar with coins and counting them, but with earning, saving, and spending money. This practice has given them plenty of confidence when using real coins and has even motivated them to save money at home. We appreciate you!”

  • Celebrate Culture through Reading

    Funded Oct 18, 2017

    I thank you again for your generous donation to help fund our project for cultural texts! I was particularly excited about receiving one book, a children's version of "Don Quixote de la Mancha", a Spanish novel originally written by Miguel de Cervantes, considered to be the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. I had taken a course during my college experience which solely focused on this text and upon sharing with my professor that I was interested in becoming a teacher, he always mentioned how awesome it would be to share this novel with children. I had NEVER imagined 6 and 7 year-olds would come to love such a complicated novel, until my students would beg me faithfully, every morning, to read the next chapter of the book after our morning circle. They couldn't seem to get enough of the characters and their many adventures throughout the story

    Although "Don Quijote" was the first book we really immersed ourselves into, while learning and practicing all sorts of comprehension skills, such as understanding character actions, making inferences and predictions, determining facts and opinions, drawing conclusions, and more, my students have fallen in love with several other books which you've helped fund. They've been delighted reading stories about different cultures and kids that are just like them despite being born in other parts of the world. In fact, we've even dug in to looking for background knowledge from some of the books, which have lead us to research facts about other countries to help us understand beyond what is written in the text.

    I can go on and on about how much we've all learned with these books. Please know that you have helped all this become possible and we are extremely grateful. Thank you for your kindness and for allowing these unforgettable experiences for both myself and my students!”

  • Super Readers!

    Funded Sep 20, 2017

    I would love to express my gratitude once more for your interest and generosity which lead our classroom to receive such an extraordinary selection of Spanish chapter books. Since we've received the books, my students have been more motivated to read than ever!

    The students who have been using the books love them! Most days, they even get a little upset when our reading time is over and they can't wait to get back to their books. So far, we have been focusing on characters, setting, sequence, problem and solution, sentence structure and more during small groups and independent time given to read. They are enjoying reading and sharing what they've read through writing. For those who are not quite ready to begin reading chapter books, they are working hard to improve their reading levels and reading skills to get there.

    Thank you so much for impacting my students' desire to read and learn!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Garcia

My students are inquisitive, animated, and cheerful little learners!They arrive each day eager to learn and to reach new goals; however this is not always so easy since our school lacks a ton of resources, especially for our English Language Learners. Our school is located in the lowest social-economic section of Fort Worth, TX (Stop Six), where we service its 2 housing projects.100% of our students recieve free lunch and even free dinner, as they struggle to get basic needs such as food and clothing at home.In my classroom, many students are recent immigrant, non-English speakers, who are eager to learn. Since dual-language is still so new to my campus, which services mostly African American students, my students are often over-looked when it comes to Spanish resources.Our school lacks spanish books, a leveled library, and even a basic phonics and phonemic awareness program to help with literacy skills.
