Past projects 4
Bengal Cafe
Funded Jan 30, 2020The 2019-2020 school year was definitely one for the books! Thankfully, I received the items before our school was shut down for the pandemic. However, I did not get the opportunity to take pictures of the items prior to the shutdown. However, I can describe the impact. I teach Language Arts in Middle school. I need to make the students think that reading is cool and should go beyond the classroom. By giving my class a Starbucks or Barnes and Noble feel my students were getting excited about interacting in class. I used the area as an incentive. The requirements were changed weekly so the students kept up with all of their assignments as they did not know which one would land them in the lounge for the day. The lounge offered alternative seating along with snacks and water.
My students and I thank you for your generosity and your support!”

Seat Sacks Saves the Day! Film at 8:30 am
Funded Dec 15, 2008Thank you so much for your kindness! My students and I were elated to receive the news our request had been fulfilled. As members of the Teaching Enrichment Activities to Minorities (T.E.A.M.) program the students have so many resources to work with, it is difficult at times to keep everything organized. Thanks to your generosity, my students will have organized thoughts and desk. We will put these seat sacks to good use and keep them throughout our 4th and 5th grade academic year. Thank you again for taking a moment to share in our educational success”

Everybody Loves a Mystery
Funded Dec 19, 2007Thank you So much for funding "Everybody Loves a Mystery". I truly believe that the Mystery genre allows students to utilize a plethora of skills. The kit will allow my students to be interactive with what they are reading. The genre of mysteries can also be used across the curriculum. The students will gather data for math, investigate using forensics, think critically because they have to analyze the results and lastly comprehend the materials read. Again, many thanks from me and my students”

The addition of the Bean Bag chairs to our reading lounge will make our journey more exciting! We will use it for literature circles and book reviews all across the curriculum. Our next step is to continue to enrich the reading materials used in our reading library. Thank you again for your kindness”
