Learning While Using Headphones!
Funded May 8, 2023Thank you all for my student's headphones! They are very useful, and the students are learning while using them! The color is awesome. It fits for both girls and boys. The microphone is definitely a plus because now my students can utilize various programs that requires them to read the text aloud for fluency. Lastly, my students are able to use the headphones to block out any noises or talking from others while completing assignments, which allows them to focus more.
So once again, I want to thank you all for the headphones! They are truly a blessing to all of us.”

Funded Dec 12, 2020Thank you guys so much for sponsoring our needs for this 2020-2021 school year. This has been a very exciting but different school year, yet we are still focused and striving for greatness. My students and I would like to thank you for the computer that's been added to our computer station, and for the wonderful headphones. They are able to do lessons individually and can get accommodations needed through the headphones. My students are using the headphones to do lessons geared towards their success. They also are receiving interventions and are not distracted due to the headphones. The new computer has added more value to our computer lessons because now more students can be serviced at a time. Once again thank you all for your donations. They are truly a blessing.”

Funded Mar 19, 2019Thank you guys so much for the material sent to my students and myself. We are now able to move efficiently around the classroom due to better time management because of the new timer. The dry erase markers are great because students get to use them to write on their white boards! I can also see each student's individual assignments that they hold up in the air due to the dry erase markers. Now every student has at least two in his or her desk at all times. The pencils are also great!! My students would not have pencils and it would cause the lessons to start of late. However, now I have extra pencils that are sharpened and ready to go. Students also use their scissors to cut and paste things that are required in the ELA curriculum. These supplies are awesome. The students love them especially the utensils they write with. The pencils are full of color and designs and the students love them! They actually love to write now! I would like to thank you guys so much because even though the materials were not huge, they made a huge impact on student learning. All students are prepared to learn and ready to go once they are in the classroom.”

A Field Trip Worth Taking!
Funded Jul 13, 2018Thank you all so much for funding this project. My students and myself were able to explore and learn new things about the lifestyle of many civil rights activists and other people during the different time periods of history. My students were very excited to see the different statues and historic pieces of history. We were able to learn new things and see things from a different perspective.
One highlight that my students loved was the Time Traveling Bus. The students were able to ride a bus and watch videos explaining how Rosa Parks impacted the civil rights movement. It was really an eye opener because they were able to experience this and not just read the information in a text book. The students were more engaged and learned a lot!
Once we were back in the classroom, my students and I discussed how different civil right activists impacted history for people! My students also created posters on different civil rights activists that they read about in the different museums and presented them to their classmates. The students were very eager to discuss the many things they learned and how it impacts them today. This field trip was very important and shed light on the many different concepts that my students may have not fully understood.”

Funded Aug 22, 2018Thank you so much for the donations. The donations have truly made a huge impact on my students.
Technology has helped my students to learn by allowing them to conduct research on different topics, and allowing them to get on different websites to increase their learning. So far, the students have been on websites such as Moby Max and Learn zillion. to increase Reading comprehension. They have also been completing research assignments given to them on Google Classroom. Students have also become self sufficient. They are able to login into the computer and type in the website on their own. The compute(technology) has actually given them confidence. They want to learn and conduct research.
The markers, folders, headphones, color pencils, expo markers, and composition markers are such a huge help. The supplies are so beneficial because now students have the materials they need to learn. They now can write and complete hands-on activities without having to search for any materials.
In all, this project has definitely helped bring the new school year in. The students are prepared and are learning at all levels. Once again thank you all so much for your donations.”
