Basic Supplies for Our Classroom
Funded Nov 20, 2022Thank you for donating to this Donor's Choose Project. We started using the materials as soon as they arrived at the school. The pencils and paper are helping the students with their learning, and the cleaning supplies and tissues are helping to keep the classroom clean and the students healthy. The students were excited when we received the supplies.
Overall, the students in Class 302 have had a wonderful school year of learning. We are currently preparing for the upcoming New York State ELA and Math Assessments. It is a lot of work, but the students are excited with their learning.
Once again, thank you so much for your generosity. My class and I are grateful.”

Looking Good for Remote Online Instruction
Funded Sep 27, 2020Thank you so much for your generous donations that went towards purchasing a video light for our online instructional meetings and the cleaning wipes for our classroom.

We use the video light every day for the remote online instructional lessons. The cleaning wipes are also important this year in order to keep our desks and supplies clean and to help keep us healthy. Thank you once again for your generosity.

We Love Music While We're Learning
Funded Nov 7, 2019Thank you again for your generous donations to help purchase a new BOSE portable speaker for our classroom. When the speaker arrived in the mail, my students were very excited. We have been using it almost daily to listen to music while we work and also to enhance the sound while we are watching educational videos. The speaker will also be very useful when we take our ballroom dancing lessons this upcoming spring. Music is a big part of our lives and this speaker makes our classroom environment a great place to be. Thank you again!!!”

Help!!! We Need a New Document Reader
Funded Dec 21, 2018Thank you so much for your generosity in helping to fund our new document reader camera. We are very grateful. The document reader camera is used all day long in various lessons. It allows the students to see work being modeled by the teacher up on the Promethean Board. Students are also able to show their work with the camera to the rest of their classmates. Without this camera, instruction and learning would be much more difficult. Once again, thank you very much for your generosity and for helping Class 401 shoot for the stars.”

Please Help Us Join the Technological 21st Century!
Funded Dec 29, 2016I would like to thank you for your very generous donation to help my students get a MacBook Pro laptop for our classroom. My students were so excited when I told them the great news and even more excited when they saw it for the first time. Our MacBook Pro is an amazing computer! We use it in our classroom in many different ways. We can hook it up to our Promethean Board and assist us in our lessons, the students use it for research and other projects, and they use it to write papers. There are also many excellent self-learning programs that my students are able to log onto and focus on their individual needs. Soon, we will begin to use the laptop with our school's Media Program where the students are learning the basics of computer coding and programming robots made of Legos. Once again, thank you so much from myself and all of my students!!! We are extremely grateful.”
