Math and Science Superstars!
Funded Oct 9, 2015It has been a celebration in 3rd Grade! My students are amazed at the resources you provided for us. They do not want to even leave school! We are using these resources all day, every single day! They have already learned so much! The white boards and the flash card machines have had a tremendous impact in only one week. It is amazing to see how much they have learned in such a short period of time. These resources keep us so busy and engaged. The day flies by and the students are so bummed that they have to leave. You have definitely boosted their enthusiasm for learning and their internal motivation to succeed.”

Simple Supplies!
Funded Sep 2, 2015My students were so excited to receive the wonderful supplies you sent us! We have been super busy using all of the resources! It has been very nice to have our own pencil sharpener. You can not imagine the amount of time we save each morning not having to go from classroom to classroom asking if we can borrow a pencil sharpener.
We have enjoyed using our listening center in our daily center rotations. The students get so excited when it is their turn to visit the listening center. We listen to books on tapes based on our ability level. We feel independent and are quickly improving our reading skills!
Thank you again for supporting our classroom!”

Technology Take-Off!
Funded Aug 12, 2015We had such a great day yesterday! When I reflected upon my day, I realized it was definitely due to the technology you sent us. The Apple TV has made it so easy to really connect to my students. They were so excited and intrigued when we received the box in the mail. We hooked it up together and they were silent as I connected it to the Smartboard. My students are so engaged and excited when they get the opportunity to come up to the Smartboard and share their thinking when the Apple TV is hooked up.
We received two Mac desktop computers as a surprise 2 weeks ago. The document camera ended up not being available on Amazon so instead I replaced it with heavy duty headphones for the desktops. It turned out to be a blessing because with the Apple TV I can open the camera and use it as a document camera. My students can now use the computers frequently throughout the day and can visit sites with sound instead of only being limited to a few soundless sights. They love working on the computers.
Thank you again for your donation. We are a happy 3rd Grade and I could not have had such a great start to the year without you!”

It Feels Like Home To Me
Funded Dec 1, 2013We are so excited to have a beautiful reading rug in our room. The rug is very colorful and bright, just like our classroom. It really brings our classroom together. We have worked hard this year to make this room feel like home to us. Our room has changed so much this year. It started out as an old, dirty, bare classroom. We have cleaned, painted, shifted, and decorated each and everyday. As a class, we often look back and laugh at how different the room looked at the beginning of the year. It finally feels like we "fit" into our room. When we received our classroom rug, it almost felt as if the final puzzle piece was put into place. We still have a little tweaking to do, but thanks to the rug, I can say that our classroom really does feel like home to us.”

Kindergarten Readiness: Ipad for Imagination
Funded Feb 25, 2013I can not express how grateful I am that you chose to donate to my classroom. The iPad that you donated to my classroom helps my students everyday. We have used the iPad to help us learn our letters and letter sounds and to count and identify numbers. We use the camera on our iPad to record special memories. We take very good care of our iPad and it has helped us to learn to be responsible and independent.
Recently, our school purchased a SmartBoard for our class room. We can hook the the iPad up to our SmartBoard so that we can use it as together as a class. Our iPad has allowed us to travel to farms, ports, and even outer space!
Thank you again for believing in my students and myself. I would not be where I am today without your continued love and support.”
