  • Podcasts and Blogging for English Language Learners!

    Funded Nov 12, 2007

    Thank you so much! You have no idea what your generous donation means to my students and I. Our interactive web page, our class blog, and much more all await us! The children will be thrilled.

    Your support also means a lot to me personally. Teachers--especially urban ones--are typically overworked and undervalued, but a gift such as yours reminds me that there are kindred spirits out there cheering us on!

    Best wishes this holiday season,

  • Experiments in Calculus

    Funded Oct 29, 2007

    I cannot express how thrilled I am to see that these items have been funded. Our resources for this AP class are limited, making it difficult to create high-level activities that peak student interest. With your generous donation, my students will see how the mathematics they have learned about in class relate to the world around them. I look forward to using this technology, not only for this school year, but for years to come”

  • An Invite to Write

    I was so excited to receive the call that my proposal had been funded. I am currently teaching a group of 2nd graders and they thoroughly enjoy writing. I have been working on setting up learning stations in my classroom and these materials will work perfectly in my writing center. Thank you so much for your help in creative a fun learning environment for my students. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!!”

  • A Projector Enriches Communication Skills

    Funded Oct 23, 2007

    I am so, so excited about your donation of a classroom projector! Over the past year I have had to share a school projector with other teachers, so it was not always possible for me to use it in class. I often use a laptop and projector to show students how to complete an assignment or how to write an essay. It also allows students to share their work with the class by doing power point presentations or projecting an essay on the board. The projector is also valuable in showing students how to evaluate the credibility of internet sources when doing research. It's an amazingly resourceful tool that I use everyday in class! Thank you”

  • Supplies for a Computer Lab

    Funded Oct 23, 2007

    My students will be so happy to be able to save their Powerpoint Projects with out the fear of losing them on floppy discs. Each row will have a flash drive to save their ongoing projects.

    The camera will be used to photograph and honor the students of the month as well as to enhance the students work with real photographs instead of clip art.

    Thank you so much for your generous contributions for children who will appreciate it and benefit from it”

  • "We Didn't Start the Fire"

    Funded Oct 11, 2007

    I am so grateful that you have decided to fund my request for a Notebook PC. I cannot wait to start using the computer in my classroom. It will be a valuable tool as I try to help my students connect with History and other curriculum. As you know my school is quite diverse with many English Language Learners and other students who need special help. These students and really all students need to interact with the material in a variety of ways. I know that your donation will help my students this year and in the years to come. Once again thank you for helping to make a difference in the lives of these students.

    Sincerely,

    Jackie ”
