With trepidation, & respect to those that have overcome this challenge laid before me, I announce that I have chosen to join the ranks of an elite few; those men-of-men, that, unflinchingly go forth among the peoples with their mustachio'd facial prowess leading the way.

This gleaming beacon of machismo & testosterone, a dream unrealized by so many of my generation, will now become my mission over the due course of February.

To overcome moments of self-doubt & embarrassment of this awkward yet elegant facial faux-pas, I ask, nay, beg of you to support the cause by picking a classroom project from the list below to support. (By the way, DonorsChoose.org is a 501(c)3 charity)

I can't fully express my gratitude for your donation to my project. It is great to see that you are as committed to the use of technology in the classroom, in order to improve student achievement.
Having a projector in my classroom completely changed my teaching experience. I was able to cover more information because I didn't have to spend so much class time preparing the lesson. The projector allowed me to complete my lessons ahead of time, and it may not seem like it, but those 5-10mins a class that I saved on transitions, created a space for more tutoring and instruction. The students also really benefited from having the projector, and it really helped me with my classroom management, because more students stayed focused and on task. The project made note taking a more productive process for many of my students who were struggling.
The greatest benefit of this projector is the visual stimulation and outside resources it allowed me to introduce in my classroom. I started using websites like brainpop and discovery math, and it helped certain students become more engaged in the learning process. Having the projector also helped students with their projects and presentations. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better resource, and I plan to implement this new technology even more so in the coming years.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Korein Foundation and 23 other donors.
What an awe inspiring addition to the classroom. The Orff instruments arrived last Thursday and there was an immediate buzz from the students. When I opened one of the instruments the class could not believe what the box contained. They keep asking me if the instruments are for them to use and when I say yes, then they ask me again if the instruments are for them.
I hope from the pictures that you can see that they are a great group of kids. They were so afraid to use the instruments and they were shocked when the pretty notes were heard. Other teachers in the hallway stopped by to see where the beautiful music was coming from. I am so eager to incorporate the instruments into our daily lessons and watch my students move to music what they need in long term memory.”
With gratitude,
Teacher
