  • We "Bake" the World a Better Place

    Funded Dec 20, 2021

    Please receive this letter as a small token of appreciation for your generous donation to our classroom. The supplies provided helped us run the school's bake shop in a smooth and a professional manner.

    The trays, paper goods, pitchers, and all other baking tools were received with great excitement by all our students. Each student was extremely excited to open a box and discover a new and useful item that will facilitate baking within the classroom. They were eager to start using all the supplies received.

    In the months since we received the supplies you were so kind to send us, the student have been busy baking, selling, and fulfilling party orders. Thanks to your generous donation, the students have everything they need to successful continue on their baking journey.

    Once again, your generosity has allowed my students to have access to the basic tools needed to increase their vocational skills. Thank you for your continued support.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Puccio

  • Projecting Into the Future

    Funded Apr 5, 2012

    Please receive this letter as a small token of appreciation for your generous donation to our classroom. You are all doing amazing work alongside Donors Choose in order to help many students across the United States. The projector is benefiting all my students in learning English across all content areas.

    The projector is helping my beginner and advanced ESL students alike. The student's participation in class has improved drastically. They are now eager to come up to the front of the class to read passages of a story as well as to answer questions by pointing and choosing the correct answers.

    Your generosity is bringing life changing experiences to my students with the help of this amazing piece of technology!

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Puccio

  • We Want To See It All

    Funded Aug 19, 2011

    Thank you so much for your generosity. Your donation has impacted my classroom in a very positive manner.

    My ESL students are enjoying their new piece of technology. Now that we have the document camera in the classroom we are able to project all written materials, including books, handouts, magazines and/or newspaper articles. My students are very excited because now they CAN SEE IT ALL!

    As a result of your kindness, classroom participation has improved, which is vital for second language acquisition.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Puccio

My class is comprised of 12 multi-cultural, ESL students with multiple disabilities. Despite their disadvantages they come to school each day eager to learn. When taking their disabilities into account, their achievements are remarkable. Very rarely do I hear "I can't," or "I am not able to". My students learn in a number of ways. One of which is through the use of visual supports, such as pictures and video. When I give them the ownership of these pictures and video, it only enhances their learning. Technology has certainly leveled the playing field for my students; it allows them to have similar learning experiences to that of their "non-disabled" peers.
