Thank you so much for funding our project! The students working in my room after school jumped when they heard me shout with excitement as I read the email. This is an amazing opportunity to empower my students. They will benefit enormously from access to these tools. I was just today sitting down with another teacher, planning out our year's curriculum and how we could teach students to use powerful graphing calculator techniques, given that we don't have enough calculators. Now we do! Thank you so much! My students and I are thrilled!
I know you can't hear or see me, but I am crying and screaming right now because I am so grateful and excited about your generous donation! I cannot wait to tell my students tomorrow that they will finally have some tools to learn technology. Your donation couldn't have come at a better time either. My seniors are beginning to apply for colleges and they are all working on one computer (and there are 30 of them). Having these two laptops plus a printer will make it so much quicker for them to apply and really have a chance at achieving a post-high school education. Thank you so much and may God bless you for your incredible kindness”
I am very excited to receive this grant for my classroom, funding the opportunity to turn my students' writing into digital stories. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. The digital camera along with my experiences in media literacy and video education will help my students create powerful digital stories to share with the community while increasing confidence in themselves and their ideas.
Thank you so much for your contribution. The second grade students are an energetic bunch and are very excited to use the computers, calculators, digitals and the like. Technology can take education to another level and I believe that the students will benefit greatly because of your gift. We have toured the neighborhood and have scouted out the digital collage for our powerpoint presentations. Thank you so much...we cannot wait to see how much we can do--because of you”
Thank you for funding our Southeast Mensa Globe Trotters proposal. The students and I are excited about receiving the materials so that we can begin to delve into learning through technology, educational games, and communication.
I look forward to establishing a "mock MENSA society" where students yearn to learn and seek out the DVDs, and educational game cartridges to enhance the materials that are covered in their textbooks. I also will be establishing a Sign Language Club in the classroom to incorporate with our communications and social studies programs.
This award will greatly enrich the learning and daily interaction between students, technology, and global education. We appreciate your support!
Thank you so much for your support for our Save the Earth project! This year I work with a wonderful and compassionate group of fifth graders who have already expressed individual interests in "saving the pandas," "protecting the rainforests," "preventing water pollution," and "teaching younger kids to recycle." Often, kids are motivated, but feel helpless to make changes. These technology tools will provide them with a unique and motivating opportunity to communication their messages to wider audiences. While we won’t be fully finished with our products until spring, I recently launched the project reading: "If the World were a Village" which explores resources, lifestyles, and privileges of the global population as a village of just 100 people. Students had amazing questions and discussions about drinking water, clean air, poverty, and resource allocation. These technology tools will empower them in ways 5th graders are not usually accustomed. With the project funded this early, I will have ample time to teach them how to use these tools, and I expect that they will have long lasting and widespread impacts in our classroom. Thank you for your support and empowering us to Save the Earth!
Thank you so much for funding my "Pictures are Essential" request. The laminator will be a priceless resource to my room and to the children. With sturdy and durable pictures, my children will spend more time learning and practicing their communication skills! I can't wait to send you pictures of us in action!
Thanks again for your dedication to children. Education is so important!
Thank you so much for your generous donation. We are two months into our new school year and your donation is a much needed resource for our freshman. Many of our students do not have home computers and do their work at libraries and after school programs. They rely solely on emailing the work to their teachers and printing it from school. Often the email reformats essays, are blocked by spam blockers are fail to send at all. Your donation will help alleviate if not completely rectify this issue and teach our ninth graders a little about organization as well.
Thank you so much for funding my LCD projector. This will really help out my classroom. We will now be able to have multi-media presentations!
I can't tell you how nice it is to have support for our classroom. My students get really engaged by video clips and making PowerPoint. Thanks for making this a reality”
Thank you, thank you thank you! I can't believe it really happened! I've been trying for so long to get funding for this item. I would buy it myself for my classroom, but I'm just so strapped for cash. You know, teacher salary and all.
My students are going to be sooo excited when I tell them tomorrow! We just hatched some chicken eggs, so I could show them illustrations of their life cycle from the internet.
Thank you for supporting education in Richmond, CA. Our town gets of a lot of bad press because of violence. Your donation will go a long long way to inspiring these kids to achieve great things.
