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.

  • Ribbon Dancing Adds Enthusiasm

    Funded Dec 3, 2010

    Thank you for funding "Ribbon Dancing Adds Enthusiasm." My students are so excited about this project. They will be dressed in beautiful costumes with colorful ribbons.

    We will be sending pictures and letters as soon as the performance is finished. Our preparation for the performance has been focused on writing stories about Ancient China and how Ribbon Dancing evolved. My students are so excited about the learning process that takes place when you mix the arts with history. We will be forever grateful to you for your generous support to our classroom. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

  • Transforming 4th Graders through Technology!

    Funded Dec 1, 2010

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. We use the document camera every single day. The students love to show their work using the document camera, and have even learned how to "zoom in" and use it features to show their classmates a better view of what they are working on.

    We received the document at the end of January and it's hard to imagine how we survived without it. It has also cut down my time as a teacher, no longer relying on making "overheads" to guide students.

    Without your support, this would have never been possible for my students. Thank you very much for your help!!”

    With gratitude,

  • Christmas Presents For Children In Need

    Funded Nov 29, 2010

    Wow! I am completely overwhelmed with your generosity! Thank you so much for donating to this project. My students' faces were absolutely priceless when they opened their Christmas presents; they were so excited! My students absolutely loved their books and started reading them immediately. We have just started reading "Because of Winn Dixie" in class and it is great that every student has their own copy in which to follow along. You have truly made a difference in the lives of my students, and gave them gifts for the holidays that they can continue to enjoy for years to come. Thank you!”

  • History Comes Alive with Tech Savvy Resources!!

    Funded Dec 1, 2010

    I just wanted to take the time to personally thank each of you for your generosity. It is because of your kindness that so many of my students are receiving a more personalized and richer education. Thank you so, so much!

    After I received the LCD last month I began using it immediately. I have been able to provide my students access to interactive websites, digital pictures, educational videos, films, and a plethora of other materials that have enriched their learning experience. I am able to capture their attention with these forms of media while also engaging them in deeper ways of thinking. And the great part about it is that they don't even know it!

    I have seen students with special needs and learning deficiencies response positively to this new form of technology in the classroom. You can be assured that your donations are making a differences in the lives of my students and their education. Thank you again!”

  • How Does This Calculator Work? I Need Help!!!

    Funded Dec 4, 2010

    Thank you so much for your kind donation. Your donation is already helping the fourth grade students in my school! This week we started using the calculator presentation technology in class with much success.

    The presentation technology has helped me to see which students need help using the calculator. It has also been really helpful in teaching the students how to perform operations with fractions, decimals and percents. They love to see their teacher's calculator projected up on the big screen! This tool has been integral in preparing the students for the upcoming math standardized state test. The fifth and sixth grade teachers in the building have seen how great this technology works and are looking into getting this tool for their own classrooms.

    I hope you realize how much your donation will help the fourth graders at my school. Our students are highly motivated and deserve the opportunity to succeed. They work so hard to achieve and their education is extremely important to them, even at a young age.

    Thanks again for supporting my grant! You really made my day when I saw that all these generous people had helped fund my proposal. I was smiling for the rest of the week. Sometimes it's hard to believe that there are people like you out there that are so giving. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

  • One Picture Says 1000 Words....Help our Autism/TMH Class!

    Funded Dec 11, 2010

    We received Boardmaker Studio today and all I can say is...WOW! This software program is exactly what our classroom needs and then some. The program has been updated to allow with a more user friendly interface which makes it easier for my students to navigate. When I create materials, there are more options, better pictures and fantastic interactive tools that surpass my expectations. We would like to thank you and express our sincere gratitude for giving us a chance to use technology to help my students achieve. ”
