Bringing Color Into Our Writing World
Funded Sep 15, 2008Thank you so much for making this resource a reality in our classroom. I work with students that are often just learning to organize larger writing pieces so they can create stories with multiple paragraphs. Your generous donation to our room will help my students to organize their thoughts and keep track of their work before proceeding to write their final drafts. We are so lucky to have people like you that make our classroom a great place to learn”

Sitting on the United States
Funded Jul 20, 2008Wow! Thank you so very much for making this new rug a reality in our classroom. I can't wait to see my students' faces when we replace our blue rug with a beautiful United States rug. This being such an important year to teach them about their country, history, presidency, etc., I am so thrilled that you have provided me with a resource that I can use now and for years to come. I can't wait for my students to express their thoughts to you and take pictures of them on the rug. I can already think of so many new lessons I can teach with it. Thank you again”

Another Notebook??
Funded May 13, 2008When I open an email that lets me know that a project has been funded, I get an overwhelming sense of joy for all the students that will benefit from another person's generosity. You are that person for us today. My students work so hard and we get to a time in the year when we start to run out of supplies. I just checked spelling sentences this morning on the last page of a student's notebook. Tomorrow I will give her a new one and thanks to you I don't have to worry about where that supply is coming from. Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity”

Let's Get Out And Play Together
Funded Mar 8, 2008You cannot imagine how very grateful I am for your donation. As the weather starts to get nice, my students have been looking forward to once again being able to go outside for recess. I am so excited that I am going to be able to present them with so many different things that they can do outside. The difference I see in them when they get the chance to play outside is wonderful. I thank you for giving them the equipment and providing them with materials they would not have otherwise”

Transparent Learning
Funded Jan 25, 2008I am overwhelmed by the generosity I have experienced from people by using DonorsChoose. Your support of this proposal is truly appreciated.

The "Oh Well" Listening Center
Funded Dec 12, 2007Thank you so much for helping me make a listening center a reality. My students continue to be so patient with the materials we use and I can't wait to present them with a listening center that will actually work each any every time they go to it. Great discussions always seem to come when they are engaged in a story. I cannot wait to listen in on some of these and share them with you. Thank you again for your generosity”

Developing Cultural Self Awareness with Literacy and Art
Funded Dec 11, 2007You can't believe what an incredible opportunity this is going to be for my students.

The book being provided will be used to help my students explore wonderful things about diversity. It makes me so excited that we are going to have a chance to engage in real conversations and projects that deal with who they are as diverse members of our community”

Pass the Paper Please
Funded Nov 14, 2007I want to thank you for your generous donation. I can't wait to be able to distribute colored paper to my students and watch them create wonderful things.

Listening for Literacy
Funded Jul 4, 2007Thank you so very much for your generous donation. My students have so many favorite books that they love to hear and read over and over again. Since many students are reading below grade level, these books on tape will give them an opportunity to enjoy these book independently and share their favorites with others. I look forward to the many wonderful conversations with children after they have had the opportunity to listen to a book for the first (or tenth) time.
Sincerely,
Stefanie ”
