  • Got Ink?

    Funded Mar 4, 2025

    Thank you for being a part of the village that it takes to raise children. I am happy to have received full funding in a matter of days while being overjoyed by your generosity. You are game changers! Thank you again for bringing "Got Ink?" to life and providing the necessary tools for success in the classroom and beyond.”

  • STEM Apple, Please

    Funded Feb 20, 2025

    Thank you for being game changers! Your generosity has afforded my scholars access to technology in the classroom. The devices in our classroom were beyond repair, but you made a way. We are grateful to have access to the internet for research and student portfolios. The Technology Interest Area has arrived! Thank you again for making this possible.”

  • Oh, the Drama!

    Funded Dec 8, 2023

    Thank you for funding this project for my little learners. Play is such a vital part of early learning. You helped by donating props for imaginative play in the Dramatic Play Interest Area. Students who are well grounded grow from imaginary play opportunities. Learners take on the roles of families, community helpers, and support personnel in the learning community. Play is vital to the development of strong scholars as it supports critical learning opportunities.

    My scholars were so excited as we unpacked the boxes and they saw the endless opportunities that lay in front of them. They excitedly waited for their opportunity to try the props on and pretend to be adults functioning in a community. They absolutely LOVE the new materials and are also learning to be cooperative and patient enough to allow everyone to visit Dramatic Play weekly. Now, that's growth, and we are grateful!

    We also send a special THANK YOU to The DonorsChoose Community.”

  • I Can See Clearly Now

    Funded Apr 4, 2024

    Thank you for making a tremendous difference in the learning experiences of my little learners! This school year is the first school experience for most of my scholars. If you know anything about young learners, you know that patience is not easily learned. A document camera was just what the doctor ordered to solve the problem of "I can't see it!" in the classroom. It allows everyone to see the exact same thing at the exact same time from wherever they are seated in the classroom. No one has to get up from their seat to see what is being displayed. You helped them feel capable, connected, and contributing to the classroom environment by eliminating a visual barrier. We are truly grateful.”

  • Put It in Print!

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    Thank you for making a difference in our classroom. It brings such joy to my students to have colored copies. The pizazz is real! The vivid colors motivate them to do their best work. My students are able to enjoy brightly colored posters for our Focus Board as well as classroom posters that provide important information. It is a real treat to not have to worry about how our class will get necessary documents printed. Thank you again for making a tremendous difference in our classroom being able to print and copy as needed. Thank you for changing the printing game for us. You are so greatly appreciated!

    Being able to print instructional materials is a real game changer! Everyone receives the same thing in contrast to the little differences made when preparing materials by hand. The playing field is leveled. I send a heartfelt thank you to The DonorsChoose Community for making such a huge difference in the learning experiences of my little learners!”

  • 5 on It Learning

    Funded Aug 16, 2023

    My students were beyond excited as they began to open the boxes. Their eyes were immediately drawn to the incredible hands-on materials in front of them. The Alpha-Bots and Number-Bots were most popular as my little ones love robots.

    Your donations allow my students to practice the basics with materials they can manipulate and explore. They enjoy learning through play and are thrilled to use snap blocks, threading letters, Play-Doh letters and numbers, CVC puzzles, and lacing letter blocks. You have made a huge difference. Thank you again!”

  • Tactfully Tactile in Pre-K

    Funded Feb 10, 2023

    The new resources are fueling phonemic awareness and phonics alike! My current students are enjoying the Dabbers, Doh, and alphabet tubs as much as last year's students. One of their favorite activities is Dabbing the letters and numbers with the paint dabbers.

    My scholars were bursting with excitement as the boxes were opened. They were really eager to explore the new resources, and they were thrilled when they tried them.

    Future steps include continuing the excitement with the current class using the same resources to meet and exceed academic goals. You are #TeamSuccess!”

  • An Apple for a Teacher

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    Thank you for enabling my class to have more success in the middle of the pandemic. Technology was a major challenge for me because the computers I had access to were dinosaurs. Our district was completely virtual; therefore, Microsoft Teams was necessary for the delivery of instruction. The MacBook Air made a huge difference. I was able to effectively utilize Microsoft Teams. The most exciting thing for my students was my having full access to Teams. Once students returned to the building, one student was excited to assist me by using Teams on the Apple.”

  • Center Learning: The Core of It

    Funded Dec 16, 2014

    Thank you again for your donations to our project. My scholars were so excited to receive new learning materials. They cheered as I unpacked the boxes and became more excited as each item was revealed.

    The resources are being used in student work stations. Scholars are working in groups to complete tasks and gain understanding due to your generosity.

    This project really boosted student learning in that scholars were excited daily for opportunities to go to learning stations. The manipulatives served as "connectors" to learning. Comprehension increased in all content areas. Eggspert has to be the most fun as students vie for the coveted position of "the buzzer" whether in whole group or small group interactions. Thank you again! You made such a difference in the lives of these kindergartners.”

I have twenty students in my kindergarten class who are learning to read. They enjoy being read to and need to transition to reading aloud. They lack confidence because they struggle with letter-sound relationships. The curriculum is so content-rich that there is not a lot of time to reiterate these skills for those who have a need for them. "If it's not broken, don't fix it" is a familiar adage and embodies the essence of the benefit of a listening center. If we somehow "disconnect" from the letters and their appropriate sounds, we will continue to error in our ways. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is designed to give students the opportunity to hear modeled fluency and to see it as well in those DVDs that have visible letters and words. Students will be able to connect to the words, their sounds, and corresponding pictures through using the CD/DVD player and wireless headsets that give students an option for the tactile/kinesthetic modality to move without inhibitions.
