Help Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert raise money for DonorsChoose.org and Stephen Colbert will sing Rebecca Black's "Friday" with The Roots! <br><br> Jimmy Fallon & Stephen Colbert recently announced that they've become Best Friends Forever (for Six Months) and are generously donating each others' time & money to DonorsChoose.org. <br><br> Last week, Stephen announced that Jimmy had matched Stephen's gift of $26,000 from the proceeds of a Colbert portrait sold at auction. Unfortunately, Stephen did not tell this to Jimmy. <br><br> However, Jimmy is very excited to raise the money for DonorsChoose.org and greatly appreciates the work his BFF (for six months) has done on his behalf. <br><br> So, as announced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, if the Fallon / Colbert Project can raise $26,000 by this Friday April 1st, Stephen Colbert has graciously agreed to sing Rebecca Black's "Friday" accompanied by the Roots. <br><br> Please donate! And thank you so much! <br><br> PS, this is not an April Fools joke. hide
  • Enriching The Classroom Through Art History

    Funded Apr 7, 2011

    I would like to thank each one of you for the immense help and

    inspiration to my classroom. As you can see from the posted pictures,

    my students did some amazing work that they, their families and school

    were very proud of. We held an end of the year art show/auction that

    was a joint effort with the AP Euro class where the art class created a

    work of art from a different art period and the history students wrote a

    summary about what they think the art is about and what time period,

    from their readings, did they think it was from. There was a great turn

    out for the first of this new annual event with parents,

    administrators, teachers, and students coming. With your assistance of

    materials three students were accepted to the prestigious Ryman Art

    program on Saturday's.”

  • Convenient Books for An Inconvenient Truth

    Funded Mar 30, 2011

    I would like to think you for the opportunities that you provided to my students. They researched their topics of global environmental changes not only using the books you provided, but also the books from another project that was funded at the same time. Thus I was able to make this project a class wide endeavor where all of my students were able to research a separate topic. Although their understanding of environmental change is still rudimentary, they are asking questions which will fuel heir drive for science.

    An unexpected consequence of your gift was the acknowledgment from the school administration of the hard work my students went through for their project. Consequently my class was sponsored to go on a field trip to the local Apple store where students were taught by the trained Apple staff on how to make a presentation. These staff members showed students how to use Apple's Keynote software and they turned their essays into presentations. Without your initial gift my students would not have been given this further opportunity to learn.

    Thank you once again, I can not imagine this project turning out any better.”

  • Show Me Your Knowledge

    Funded Apr 15, 2011

    Thank you for contributing to my classroom!&nbsp; The purchase of this camera and the success of it's use in the classroom has encouraged my school to purchase additional cameras for a classroom set.&nbsp; The students are so excited to be given a camera to create a video of what they know.

    The camera has allowed students to create short movies, instead of a slide presentation and brought a new level of interest to the class.

    I truly appreciate your contributions and encourage you to continue to support other donnorschoose projects”

  • Student Studio Production

    Funded Mar 30, 2011

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The production equipment that you donated has helped and encouraged my students. They have created some really professional looking DVDs!! They have been acting like reporters, interviewing various people around the campus, taking pictures and videos and then putting together and editing the DVD. It was then shown school-wide on our closed circuit system. My school does not have the funds to support an endeavor such as this, so I thank you very much.”

  • Kids Create Fashion Phase II

    Funded Mar 29, 2011

    We are so thankful to Donors Choose and its donors for making this enrichment program a success. Fashion design is such a great way for the students to experience the art of sewing and using math skills as they learn measuring. The creative juices&nbsp;were flowing on Fridays as the students began to put their ideas which they created on paper into wearable fashions. Many students are using a sewing machine for the first time and are amazed at what it can do.

    Your donations will help us to make many creations. Some of which are already in progress and others which will help us to get started again in September. A day doesn't pass that a student asks when the class will start again, they are all very anxious.

    Thank you again, you are all very appreciated”

  • Lights, Camera, Action!!!

    Funded Mar 29, 2011

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to have such supportive local and nation wide community support. It means so much to me that there are caring people that support public education.

    The materials you so generously provided for the my Kindergarten classroom will engage my students' creativity and get them pumped up and excited about learning. Most importantly they will be eager to share/use what they've learned in class and develop a life long love for technology.

    Thank you for being an important partner in public education.”

  • Literacy in PreK

    Funded Apr 1, 2011

    Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. The students have really enjoyed making books in our class. They have made color books, number books, and "building blueprints" which they use in the block center as instructions for building different types of structures. In addition to making books and taking pictures, they have also benefited from the binding machine by creating a workbook to use over the summer to keep them fresh on their skills and give them a jump start on Kindergarten. You have helped them create a love for reading and a desire to be a lifelong learner.”

  • Art Rock Star Traveling Art Trips Scholarships

    Funded Mar 29, 2011

    The universe was working with us. I say this because, it was only a month after receiving the gallery walls that the The Art Rock Star Traveling Art Trips Scholarship program began to systematically fall into place. First, our school received an out of the blue invitation to display our students' work in the beautiful lobby of one of the largest hospitals in the city. So, we got our first opportunity to become a traveling show and advocate the arts and our schools arts program.

    Secondly, It turned out to be more than a one-day display opportunity. The director of the hospital helped our school organize and host a weekend auction and sale of the students' work in the show. Prior to this, in anticipation of the gallery walls arriving, and not even knowing if we would have a venue this school year, my students and I decided that we would create work anyway, in anticipation for what would come. Hence, if you build it they would come.

    And they did come, from word of mouth, from the emails that the hospital directors circulated to its staff, its clients, its stakeholders, and and overall community, They came. And with them came a curiosity and the opportunity for me and my students to sell them on the power and importance of the arts to motivate children to strive for excellence, to push the envelope on the completion of a task, to give more than just enough to shut the teacher up. They did come, and I do believe that they left with that same spirit that you had after you came to DonorsChoose.org, and out of curiosity right clicked on the Art Rock Star Traveling Arts Trip program, read about the need of this little red headed teacher from the south and her inner city school students and said to yourselves: "Yeah, I believe in this program and I want to help make this happen for that teacher and her students." And you did make it happen, and as a result of your generosity towards our program, the visitors to our first traveling show made it happen. Through the sales of our students artwork (and some of my own) our art program was able to raise enough money to give two week art summer camp scholarships to three very happy students (I mean so happy they were on the verge of practically doing a couple of back flips).

    Your gifts created one heck of a snowball effect in my student's lives. Thank you so much. And keep those balls rolling ”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Franklin
