It is with mixed emotions that I am participating in Mustaches for Kids. That's right, for the next four weeks, I will be subjecting myself to public humiliation and private doubt by growing what will no-doubt be a ridiculous looking Mustache. In order to justify this endeavor I need your support. Please sponsor my Mustache by picking a classroom project from the list below to support. And wish me and my Mustache luck.

  • Let's Get Ready To Read!!!

    Funded Apr 16, 2010

    I cannot thank you enough for your donation to our project. The students love to be able to use the langue master. They are able to review the sight words we are learning. They love to record their own voices reading the words.

    Our district is experiencing a great budget crisis. There is no money for these extra supplies and technologies to assist us with reinforcing what we are teaching. Donors like you make it possible for my students to have some of the supplemental materials that really make a difference.

    Again, I am so very grateful for your generosity and the help you have given my classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Avenevoli

  • Enriching Our Learning in Math, Science and Reading, OH MY!

    Funded Feb 27, 2010

    Thank you so much for donating to my classroom-- the impact that your contribution, small or large, has had on the students in my class has been tremendous! Undoubtedly, without your generosity, our classroom would not have received our new projector.

    We have used the projector for many new activities-- we watch our calendar video, do our morning meeting via PowerPoint, use the interactive math games from our curriculum, and watch videos about science and reading things that we would not otherwise have access to. I have seen absolutely incredible growth in my students in both reading and math since we received our projector.

    Without generosity like yours my students would be without a valuable resource, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. H.

  • Projecting Our College Dreams

    Funded Mar 20, 2010

    I wanted to send a sincere thank you from both my students and myself. It is incredible the immediate change the projector has brought into my classroom. At the start of the year, my students scored an average of 50% on their unit assessments. I am now retesting them for mastery and I am proud to say they have consistently been scoring higher than 80% on all the review tests we have taken. I would like to attribute part of this success to the new technology you all graciously donated. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    Each one of you have ensured more students will be reached in my classroom. The looks on my students' faces was priceless, amazed that random people from across the country cared enough to grant them with this saving grace. My hand writing is atrocious and at times my organizational skills are slacking; this projector was a quick fix to both of those problems. I am now able to lay out well organized notes that the students can actually read, and the benefits are extraordinary. I feel truly blessed to have people like you who cared enough to donate to my project. I want you to know your contributions do not go unnoticed and that you are making this world a better place. Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Teacher
